Injury Report
Baltimore has a starting-center issue after Danny Pinter's season-ending torn patellar tendon, with Ethan Pocic and Jovaughn Gwyn competing; Nnamdi Madubuike is expected back early after his neck recovery, while Zay Flowers sat out Aug. 31 practice. Dallas will be without linebacker Marist Liufau in Week 3 after he landed on injured reserve with a fractured forearm, and cornerback Devin Moore is also on designated-return injured reserve.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Baltimore's clearest edge is its run game against a Dallas defense still proving that its offseason overhaul fixed last year's problems. Henry averaged 5.2 yards per carry in 2025 and shredded Dallas for 151 yards in the 2024 meeting. With Liufau unavailable, early-down run defense is the pressure point that can tilt both spread and total.
3 Things to Watch
- Dallas run defense after overhaul
- Ravens center competition up front
- Rio travel and field adjustment
Betting Breakdown
Baltimore and Dallas land in Rio with a market that has already changed shape. Baltimore opened around a field-goal favorite, but current prices have the Ravens near -0.5 while the total has risen from 49.5 to 51.5. That combination points to increased respect for Dallas without removing expectations for offense. Baltimore's most transferable advantage is the run game: Derrick Henry rushed for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025, and the last time these teams met he posted 151 rushing yards with two scores as the Ravens piled up 274 on the ground. Dallas' case is built around Dak Prescott and an offense that can force Baltimore out of a comfortable run-heavy script. Prescott threw for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns last season, while Dallas spent the offseason reshaping a defense that allowed 30.1 points per game. The key betting question is whether the Cowboys' new front can create enough early-down resistance to keep Baltimore from controlling tempo.
Baltimore Betting Outlook
Baltimore enters 2026 with a familiar formula: pressure defenses with Derrick Henry, force linebackers to honor Lamar Jackson's legs, then create explosives off play action. Henry's 1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns last season give the Ravens a reliable floor, and the 2024 Dallas matchup showed how punishing that style can be. The concern is interior continuity. Danny Pinter's season-ending injury leaves the center job unsettled, and that matters against a Dallas front rebuilt with Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary. Baltimore also finished only 6-11 ATS in 2025, so laying points demands discipline. At near pick'em pricing, the run-game matchup remains the stronger Ravens argument.
Dallas Betting Outlook
Dallas has the offensive ceiling to punish Baltimore if this turns into a pace game. Dak Prescott threw for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2025, and a healthy CeeDee Lamb plus George Pickens gives the Cowboys multiple answers outside. The handicap hinges on whether the defensive rebuild travels. Dallas allowed 30.1 points per game last season, then added major front-seven help, but Marist Liufau will miss Week 3 on injured reserve. The Cowboys were 7-10 ATS last season and closed 1-4 over their final five regular-season games, so the market move toward Dallas is meaningful but not self-validating. Stopping Henry on early downs is the assignment that determines whether Dallas can cash.
