00:00Absolutely, now a team that needs to be all systems go, actually two teams for that matter.

00:09We need to see efficient performances out of the Ravens as well as the Cowboys.

00:14Both of these teams are in the hot seat pertaining to their performance at the start of this

00:18season and fans don't really know what to be hopeful for in this sense or really what

00:22to expect.

00:23I mean, we can't really say who has a defensive edge here because we've seen two different

00:27games out of both of these teams through two weeks, so how do we even start approaching

00:31this one?

00:32Oh, this game is really tough and it's tough from a prop perspective, it is tough from

00:39a future perspective, I think the line is perfect.

00:42Like I said briefly on Sunday, we are looking at the Ravens being 0-3 or the Cowboys being

00:481-2 and this throws a wrench into so many of people's futures, you're on the Ravens

00:550-3, you've got to start wondering if they're going to make the playoffs.

00:58I still think they are a phenomenal team, so I would side with the Ravens.

01:01I am very hesitant to go to Derrick Henry props this week, I think this has to be more

01:06of a passive game, which puts me to big game for Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews has got to

01:11get the ball rolling.

01:12We need to see the top tight end that it is, so if it's not going to be Mark Andrews, that's

01:16where Isaiah Likely, who had a very slow week two, has to rekindle some of that performance

01:22that we saw in week one.

01:23So Flowers, Andrews, and Likely in that order, who I'm going to be targeting for the Rams.

01:29On the other side, excuse me, from the Ravens, for the Cowboys, it has to be a CeeDee Lamb

01:35game.

01:36They paid them all this money, they paid Dak all this money, they have to connect, they

01:39have to get that offense going.

01:40I think we're going to see what Bryce did in week one from the Chiefs, I think that's

01:44the kind of performance we're going to see from CeeDee Lamb this week.

01:47Yeah, I couldn't agree more and plus we know he's the guy who's going to get it done because

01:50his attitude might really light him up.

01:53He does not like embarrassing performances.

01:55He does not like when his team doesn't figure out how to show up, but those big connections,

01:58he still finds a way to make those things happen.

02:01Something else, when you mentioned Henry maybe not being as involved this week, that's usually

02:04where I look at Lamar Jackson to pick up some rushing yards.

02:06I mean, he gets in those moments where he just gets tunnel vision and tries to go for

02:10it.

02:11Right now, those rushing yards are sitting at 53 and a half, so maybe something to tackle

02:14today or tomorrow as we gear into Sunday.
