• The Ravens are allowing an average of just 49.5 rushing yards per game this season
• Below, see the best Ravens vs Cowboys player props to target on Sep. 22

Already in desperation mode, the Baltimore Ravens (0-2, 0-1 away, 0-2 ATS) travel to Big D on Sunday for a matchup with the Dallas Cowboys (1-1, 0-1 home, 1-1 ATS), who are themselves coming off a horrendous home loss to the New Orleans Saints (44-19) as 6.5-point favorites.

Kickoff is slated for 4;25 pm ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Sunday, Sep. 22, and the Ravens vs Cowboys odds set Baltimore as as slight 1.5-point road favorite.

The table below sets out the main Ravens vs Cowboys player props. Under the table, find my BAL vs DAL prop picks for Sunday afternoon.

Ravens vs Cowboys Player Props

Coming off a prolific-but-ineffective 293-yard game against the Saints, Dak Prescott has been set with a passing-yard total of 262.5 while his counterpart, Lamar Jackson, is at just 216.5, a number he’s flown over in both games this year.

BAL vs DAL Prop Pick #1: Zeke Elliott Under 32.5 Rushing Yards

Zeke Elliott has just 56 rushing yards on 16 carries in two full games season. He’s been splitting the workload almost 50/50 with Rico Dowdle, who also has 56 yards on 15 carries, and Deuce Vaughn is also in the mix (15 yards on five carries).

Despite the 0-2 record, Baltimore’s rush defense remains elite. KC managed just 72 yards on 20 carries (3.6 YPC) in Week 1 and the Raiders had a scant 27 on 17 carries (1.6 YPC) in Week 2. It’s Baltimore’s secondary that has been the problem, and that’s something that plays into Dallas’ hands.

The Cowboys don’t need a second invitation to put the ball in the air. They finished last season 11th in pass/run ratio and sit seventh this season. Neither Elliott or Dowdle has the burst to warrant a heavier workload than they’ve been getting, and I will be stunned if Elliott has a big day against one of the best front-sevens in the league.

• Pick: Elliott under 32.5 rushing yards (-115)

Ravens vs Cowboys Prop Pick #2: Lamar Jackson Over 216.5 Passing Yards

When the Cowboys held Deshaun Watson to just 169 yards on 45 attempts in Week 1 while piling up six sacks, pundits were hailing Dallas defense. But Week 2 could scarcely have been more different. Derek Carr and the Saints lit up the Cowboys for five first-half touchdowns, torching them through the air and on the ground.

Carr had 243 yards on just 16 attempts (11 completions). The Dallas secondary allowed receptions of 70, 57 , and 39 yards, despite playing a fairly conservative defense at times.

Jackson, who remains a top-ten favorite in the NFL MVP odds despite his team’s 0-2 start, has hit at least 247 passing yards in each of the first two games (260 YPG average) and has a great chance to go over that number again against a suspect Dallas secondary. Watson was horrendous in Week 1 largely because of the pressure from the Cowboy pass rush. Jackson is one of the best in the league at avoiding pressure and is coming into his own as a pocket passer. Last season, he had a career-high 3,678 yards in just 16 games (229.9 YPG) and I expect him to keep up his new record pace today.

• Pick: Jackson over 219.5 passing yards (-115)

As the Baltimore Ravens prepare to take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 of the NFL season on September 22nd, fans and bettors alike are looking for some exciting player prop bets to add some extra excitement to the game. Here are some top player prop bets to consider for this matchup:

1. Lamar Jackson Over/Under Passing Yards: Lamar Jackson, the dynamic quarterback for the Ravens, has been known for his dual-threat abilities as a passer and runner. In this game against the Cowboys, the over/under for his passing yards could be set around 250 yards. With the Cowboys’ defense struggling early in the season, Jackson could have a big day through the air.

2. Ezekiel Elliott Total Rushing Yards: On the other side of the ball, Ezekiel Elliott will be looking to establish the run game for the Cowboys. The Ravens have a strong defense, but Elliott is a talented back who can break off big runs at any moment. His total rushing yards prop bet could be set around 100 yards for this game.

3. Mark Andrews Total Receiving Yards: Mark Andrews has emerged as one of the top tight ends in the league and a favorite target for Lamar Jackson. Against the Cowboys’ defense, Andrews could have a big game and his total receiving yards prop bet could be set around 80 yards.

4. CeeDee Lamb Total Receptions: CeeDee Lamb, the rookie wide receiver for the Cowboys, has been impressive in his first two games in the NFL. Against the Ravens, he could see plenty of targets from Dak Prescott. His total receptions prop bet could be set around 6 catches for this game.

5. Marquise Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Marquise Brown, also known as “Hollywood,” is a speedy wide receiver who can break off big plays at any moment. Against the Cowboys’ defense, he could be a prime candidate to score a touchdown in this game. His anytime touchdown scorer prop bet could be a popular choice among bettors.

Overall, these player prop bets offer some exciting opportunities for fans and bettors to get in on the action for the Ravens vs Cowboys matchup in Week 3. With two high-powered offenses facing off, there could be plenty of scoring and big plays to keep an eye on during this game.
