Ravens vs. Cowboys: 5 bold predictions for Week 3 in Brazil

The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys, franchises that don't often face off, will meet in Rio de Janeiro for an NFL international game. Baltimore aims to regain its footing, while Dallas enters with momentum and an explosive offense. Historically, the Ravens have been successful in this series, winning six of the first seven matchups, including the last two. However, predicting the outcome is challenging given the star power on both sides.

Five bold predictions for the Ravens vs. Cowboys game in Brazil include:

1. Calais Campbell and Trey Hendrickson both record sacks: The Ravens' pass rush has shown potential, with Hendrickson being a dangerous edge rusher overdue for a statement performance. Campbell, on the other hand, has been quietly contributing to the defense in the first two weeks.

2. The Ravens allow two Dak Prescott touchdown passes but force two turnovers: Dallas will likely find the end zone multiple times, but Baltimore's defense must capitalize on missed opportunities to create takeaways and swing the momentum in their favor.

3. Derrick Henry rushes for 125 yards: Despite standing on the sideline in previous games, Henry is expected to have a dominant performance this week, helping the Cowboys' run-heavy offense.

4. Lamar Jackson and Rashod Bateman connect for another touchdown: The chemistry between the Ravens' quarterback and receiver has improved, and Bateman could become a focal point of Baltimore's passing attack, especially with Zay Flowers' availability uncertain.

5. Baltimore wins late in the fourth quarter: Despite Dallas having offensive firepower, Baltimore will deliver when the game is on the line. Jackson will lead a clutch scoring drive, and the defense will make a crucial stop, securing a hard-fought victory for the Ravens.
