Gotta Love a Tuesday Night Lock
Cowboys @ Ravens (-7.5): O/U 45
ATS: Cowboys: 2–9, Ravens: 4–5–1
O/U: Cowboys: 6–5, Ravens: 4–6
The Cowboys are not good at football. 3–8 on the season is bad. 2–9 against the spread (ATS) is even worse. Of the 31 teams in the NFL (yes, for the sake of this stat I’m excluding the Jets because at this point they shouldn’t be considered a team), the Cowboys have the worst point differential in the league. Their opponent is a Ravens team who is playing for their playoff lives tonight. Lamar Jackson has an opportunity tonight against an atrocious defense to try to regain some of his MVP spark from last year.
I’ll lay the 7.5 points with the Ravens tonight. Not so much this year, but the Ravens are a team that loves beating up on bad teams. I expect to see that tonight. I expect the ground game to be unstoppable, which in turn will set up Lamar to hit on some deep balls. I also have no confidence in the Cowboys offense to score into the 20s. I think this one gets ugly early and stays that way late.
