The NFL is back in Brazil as the Baltimore Ravens (1-1) take on the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) in a Week 3 matchup at MaracanĆ£ Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday for the second international game of the season.
The Cowboys were outplayed by NFC East rival New York in a 28-20 loss to the Giants on Sunday Night Football in Week 1 but responded with a 37-20 home win against another division rival, Washington, last Sunday. Dallas’ passing attack looked much better in Week 2, as quarterback Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes with a 143.8 passer rating, while wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recorded a team-high 153 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.
The Cowboys will, however, look to get the run game going Sunday after rushing for just 66 total yards against Washington, with starting running back Javonte Williams averaging only 2.5 yards per carry. That might not be an easy task against a Baltimore defense that features the fifth-ranked rushing defense in the NFL through the first two weeks.
Speaking of running, the Ravens ran all over Indianapolis in their 41-23 Week 1 win, with running back Derrick Henry rushing for 144 yards and three touchdowns while quarterback Lamar Jackson also ran for a score in what was an overall stellar offensive performance.
The Ravens couldn’t replicate that same success in Week 2 despite playing at home and taking a 14-6 lead into halftime against New Orleans. The Saints stormed back and scored the go-ahead touchdown to take a 24-17 lead with under two minutes remaining before Jackson threw a costly interception that essentially ended the game.
The Ravens and Cowboys both entered the season with relatively high expectations, making Sunday’s showdown in Brazil that much more intriguing. So why not see what Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook has to offer, whether it’s the main markets, player props, or anything else available for the game?
Ravens vs. Cowboys Odds
The Ravens are listed as favorites at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook for the third regular-season NFL game ever played in Brazil:
Best Player Prop and Touchdown Bets for Ravens vs. Cowboys
We alluded to the player prop markets above, and now we’re getting into two of the best props for Ravens vs. Cowboys, including a touchdown bet worth considering, based on football betting insights and trends from the Stats Hub:
Lamar Jackson Over 39.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
The Stats Hub notes that Lamar Jackson has recorded 34 or more rushing yards in each of his last 11 appearances against NFC opponents, and we like him to find success on the ground once again against a Cowboys defense that ranks third-worst against the run this season.
The Cowboys allowed 165 rushing yards to the Giants in Week 1, including 54 to quarterback Jaxson Dart, and then surrendered 182 rushing yards to Washington in Week 2, with quarterback Jayden Daniels rushing for a team-high 69 yards. That was despite Daniels leaving the game at halftime due to injury.
Jackson has been an elite dual-threat quarterback in the NFL since 2018 and is arguably one of the greatest playmakers the league has ever seen. Jackson rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Indianapolis, averaging 5.7 yards per carry, and followed that up with 34 yards on just four carries in the Week 2 loss to New Orleans.
- Lamar Jackson Over 39.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
Derrick Henry To Score 2+ Touchdowns (+200)
Derrick Henry was held in check for the most part by New Orleans’ defense in Week 2, rushing for 68 yards, but he did score his fourth rushing touchdown of the season in that game. That’s because, as we mentioned above, Henry recorded a hat trick in Week 1 with his dominant three-touchdown performance against Indianapolis.
The Stats Hub notes that Henry has scored at least one touchdown in four of the Ravens’ last five games. While you can take his anytime touchdown prop at -250, he’s no stranger to multi-touchdown games and faces a favorable matchup Sunday against the Cowboys’ defense.
Let’s not forget that Henry now has the third-most rushing touchdowns in NFL history with 126.
- Derrick Henry To Score 2+ Touchdowns (+200)
