Player props for Ravens vs. Cowboys
How Lamar Jackson could get over 19.5 pass completions
Last Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens got into a surprisingly close game with the Raiders, and Jackson wound up completing 21 of 34 passes for 247 yards. Jackson completed 26 passes in Week 1 at Kansas City despite taking off 16 times to rush for 122 yards. If the Cowboys endeavor to keep Jackson in the pocket and make him a more traditional passer, that would certainly help him reach 20-plus completions.
Jackson is 20-1 straight up in his career against NFC teams and has completed 21-plus passes in five of his last six outings against the conference. Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is notably aggressive with his play calls, so Jackson might have to get the ball out quickly on some hot reads.
How Lamar Jackson could get under 19.5 pass completions
The Ravens are 0-2 in part because they haven’t gotten their rushing attack going effectively. It’s possible the top priority for John Harbaugh’s staff is to feed Derrick Henry early and often to take pressure off Jackson, and without enough volume in terms of dropbacks, it would be hard for him to reach 20 completions.
Jackson fell short of this number in six of his last eight starts in the 2023-24 season. The Dallas Cowboys have a ton of talent in its secondary, and that unit could be primed to bounce back after getting shredded by the Saints in Week 2.
How Dak Prescott could get over 256.5 passing yards
The Cowboys were one of the NFL leaders in pass play rate last season, and that trend could continue with a lackluster duo of running backs behind Prescott in Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott. Dallas no longer has an elite offensive line, and that puts even more on the shoulders of Prescott and his top receiver, CeeDee Lamb, after they both received handsome contract extensions.
The Ravens have been elite against the run so far this season, yielding a league-low 49.5 rushing yards per game. Meanwhile, their secondary has coughed up a league-high 257 passing yards per game and the third-highest completion rate (75.8%) to opposing quarterbacks. Prescott averaged 308.8 passing yards per game at home last season, compared to 227.3 yards per game on the road.
How Dak Prescott could get under 256.5 passing yards
Passing numbers are down across the NFL as indicated by the fact that Baltimore is giving up a league-high 257 yards per game through the air. With Prescott’s prop listed at that average, there are a number of ways this bet could go wrong. CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has missed practice time this week, tight end Jake Ferguson (MCL) is questionable, and the Cowboys are very thin at receiver behind those players.
Deteriorating offensive line play could leave Prescott exposed to an excellent Ravens defensive line. If Baltimore has success running the ball, the Cowboys might not have as many possessions as would be necessary for Prescott to reach 257 passing yards.
