Ravens vs. Cowboys odds: Opening lines for Week 3 matchup

As the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens prepare for a Week 3 showdown, attention has shifted to Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro due to public complaints from local soccer players regarding the playing surface. Despite these warnings about potential divots and difficult turf conditions, NFL officials and Dallas leadership have indicated the contest will proceed as scheduled without relocation, while head coach Brian Schottenheimer remains unperturbed.

Beyond the turf debate, the upcoming international matchup brings several roster storylines into focus. The Baltimore coaching staff is currently evaluating the health status of Zay Flowers and Ronnie Stanley, whose toe issue could force a reshuffling of their offensive line protection plan against the Dallas defense, which analyst Alex Smith has already scrutinized.
