Brazil hosts an NFL regular-season game for the third consecutive year on Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens (1-1) take on the Dallas Cowboys (1-1). Both teams are off to uneven starts and now face unfamiliar conditions in Rio de Janeiro. On the betting side, I’m looking at both teams leaning on their established playmakers in Week 3.
There’s a natural crossover between fantasy football and NFL player prop bets. If you haven’t participated in sports betting but love fantasy sports, this is as fine as any place to begin. You can wager as little as pennies just to get your feet wet. Aside from the thrill of winning real money, it’s a fun way to test your knowledge and prognostication skills.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry 90+ Rushing Yards (-114)
Footing and field conditions are seemingly always a story in unfamiliar international stadiums, so give me a powerful north-south runner. Henry is averaging 5.3 yards per carry and should be a central part of an offense that’s shorthanded at receiver. Dallas has had zero answers for the running game this year, allowing 173.5 rushing yards per game (third-most in the NFL).
Ravens TE Mark Andrews 40+ Receiving Yards (-108)
With Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) on IR and Zay Flowers (hamstring) uncertain to play after missing Week 2, Andrews is the steadiest option for Lamar Jackson. The veteran tight end, who has posted 49 yards in each of the first two games, is also someone I like when it comes to uncertain footing as he’s not going to be making a lot of jukes and cuts in the open field.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb 90+ Receiving Yards (+115)
Lamb was unstoppable in Week 2, catching eight passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, his running mate George Pickens has yet to find his groove. I keep circling back to footing, and I see it as a potential advantage for Lamb here. All it takes is one slip and Lamb could break a long one.

If you feel like all three of the above bets will hit, the SGP is worth dropping a few dollars on at the current odds.
