TRENCHES

• BAL: 83.5 rushing yards allowed per game to DAL's 173.5

  90 YPG

  Baltimore has allowed 83.5 rushing yards per game, while Dallas has allowed 173.5. The difference is based on 2 games for each defense, with no detail here on the run games or game scripts they faced. Baltimore has the better early run-defense number, though yards allowed can move quickly with opponent volume and score.

PASS RUSH

• DAL: 6.5 sack yards lost per game to BAL's 25.5

  19 YDS

  Dallas has kept sack damage low through 2 games, while Baltimore has lost far more yardage on sacks than its 17.2 from last season. Dallas is also below its 16 from last season. Baltimore's passing game has less room for error in Dallas if that pressure-related gap continues, though 2 games can distort sack results.

• DAL: 1 sack taken per game to BAL's 2.5

  1.5 SACKS

  BAL is at 2.5 sacks taken per game over 2 games; DAL is at 1 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 2.65 over 17 games and DAL at 2.38 over 17 games.

• BAL: 2.5 sacks recorded per game to DAL's 1

  1.5 SACKS

  Baltimore has recorded 2.5 sacks per game, compared with Dallas at 1. The edge is based on 2 games, so a small number of sacks separates the teams. Baltimore has produced more early pressure finishes, but that is a fragile sample for any wager built around sacks or defensive control.

PACE & SCRIPT

• BAL @ DAL carries a 52.5 market total

  52.5

  Nine points above the slate median, this game carries the clearest expectation for offense to arrive from both sides and keep the scoreboard moving. A bettor can frame BAL at DAL as a high-scoring environment, then look for game-specific news that would challenge that shared scoring expectation.

• BAL: 31:18 time of possession per game to DAL's 25:56

  5:22 TOP

  BAL is at 31:18 time of possession per game over 2 games; DAL is at 25:56 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 29:11 over 17 games and DAL at 30:48 over 17 games.

• BAL: 60 offensive plays per game to DAL's 53

  7 PLAYS

  BAL is at 60 offensive plays per game over 2 games; DAL is at 53 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 57.3 over 17 games and DAL at 65.9 over 17 games.

TURNOVERS

• DAL: 0.5 turnovers committed per game to BAL's 1

  0.5 TO

  BAL is at 1 turnovers committed per game over 2 games; DAL is at 0.5 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 1.35 over 17 games and DAL at 1.24 over 17 games.

• DAL: 0 fumbles lost per game to BAL's 0.5

  0.5 FUM

  BAL is at 0.5 fumbles lost per game over 2 games; DAL is at 0 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 0.71 over 17 games and DAL at 0.53 over 17 games.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• BAL: 6.75 yards per play to DAL's 5.4

  1.35 Y/P

  Baltimore has been much more efficient per snap through 2 games and is above its 5.92 from last season. Dallas is below its 5.96 from last season. That puts Baltimore's offense in a strong early position against a Dallas unit producing less per play, though 2 games is a small sample for either side.

RED ZONE

• DAL: 85.7% red-zone scoring rate to BAL's 66.7%

  19 PP

  BAL is at 66.7% red-zone scoring rate over 2 games; DAL is at 85.7% over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 47.5% over 17 games and DAL at 56.9% over 17 games.

MISMATCH

• DAL: 68.2% on third down to BAL's 38.9%

  68.2 VS 38.9

  Dallas has converted 68.2% of its third downs through 2 games, compared with 38.9% for Baltimore. Dallas was at 41.1% last season and Baltimore at 40.9%, which makes Dallas's current rate a major 2-game spike. Dallas can keep drives alive if that carries over; Baltimore needs to win enough third downs to keep Dallas from controlling possession and scoring chances.

COVERAGE

• BAL: 44% third downs allowed to DAL's 68%

  24 PP

  Baltimore has allowed a 44% third-down conversion rate, compared with 68% for Dallas. Each figure covers 2 games, so the contrast comes from a short run of third-down situations. Baltimore has been better at ending drives early, while this is too small a sample to assume either rate will stay in place.

• BAL: 4.7 yards per play allowed to DAL's 5.8

  1.1 Y/P

  BAL is at 4.7 yards per play allowed over 2 games; DAL is at 5.8 over 2 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 26.

• BAL: 191 passing yards allowed per game to DAL's 218

  27 YPG

  BAL is at 191 passing yards allowed per game over 2 games; DAL is at 218 over 2 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 26.

SITUATIONAL

• BAL: 8.65 yards per pass attempt to DAL's 6.6

  2.05 Y/A

  BAL is at 8.65 yards per pass attempt over 2 games; DAL is at 6.6 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 6.69 over 17 games and DAL at 7 over 17 games.

• BAL: 254 team passing yards per game to DAL's 220.5

  33.5 YPG

  BAL is at 254 team passing yards per game over 2 games; DAL is at 220.5 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season BAL was at 175.6 over 17 games and DAL at 266.3 over 17 games.

• BAL (1-1) at DAL (1-1)

  -2 PT GAP

  Baltimore and Dallas are both 1-1, with Baltimore at +11 and Dallas at +9. Baltimore enters off a loss and Dallas off a win, while each team won its only game in the relevant venue split. The margins are nearly even through two games, so this is more about whether Dallas can extend its home form than about a meaningful gap in overall results.

AFTER GARY

• BAL -3.5 → -3.5

  NO MOVE

  Gary's number was -3.5; the same book now shows -3.5.
