• The Ravens are allowing an average of just 49.5 rushing yards per game this season

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.

— ⚜ WHO DAT Cool Breesy ⚜ (@Steve2duhO) September 19, 2024

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 is known for his dual-threat ability as a quarterback, but his passing yards can sometimes be overlooked. In this game, Jackson will be facing a Cowboys defense that has struggled against the pass in recent years. Look for Jackson to have a big game through the air, so consider taking the over on his passing yards prop bet.

2. Ezekiel Elliott Total Rushing Yards: The Cowboys’ star running back Ezekiel Elliott will be facing a tough Ravens defense that ranked 5th in rushing yards allowed per game last season. However, Elliott is a talented back who can break off big runs at any moment. Consider betting on his total rushing yards prop bet, as he could have a big game if the Cowboys can establish the run early.

3. Mark Andrews Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has emerged as one of the top receiving threats in the league, especially in the red zone. With his size and athleticism, Andrews is a favorite target for Lamar Jackson in scoring situations. Consider betting on Andrews to score a touchdown at any point in the game, as he has a good chance of finding the end zone against the Cowboys’ defense.

4. CeeDee Lamb Total Receiving Yards: Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has quickly made a name for himself as a dynamic playmaker in the passing game. With his speed and route-running ability, Lamb has the potential to put up big numbers against any defense. Consider betting on his total receiving yards prop bet, as he could have a breakout game against the Ravens’ secondary.

5. Marquise Brown Longest Reception: Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown is known for his speed and big-play ability down the field. In this game, look for Brown to stretch the field and potentially break off a long reception against the Cowboys’ defense. Consider betting on his longest reception prop bet, as he could make a big impact in the passing game for the Ravens.

Overall, these player prop bets offer some exciting opportunities for fans and bettors to get in on the action during the Ravens vs Cowboys matchup in Week 3. Keep an eye on these key players and their performances throughout the game to see if these prop bets pay off.
