The Dallas Cowboys are looking to pick up their ninth-straight victory this weekend when they play host to the Baltimore Ravens. They're the heavy favorites for obvious reasons, and we expect them to continue to roll on Sunday. Here are three reasons why:
3) Ravens are unproven
Yes, Baltimore is 5-4, but they have played a surprisingly easy schedule. They have played only three teams that currently have winning records, and they lost all three of those games. Now they face the best team they'll play all season - and they've shown they aren't up to the challenge.
2) Ezekiel Elliott, MVP candidate
Elliott's star had faded in recent weeks, but he recaptured the spotlight with a huge performance against the Steelers. He's now the first player to rush for over 1,000 yards this season, and seems to be getting better and better every single game. Expect the Cowboys to ride Zeke to another win on Sunday.
1) Baltimore's lackluster offense
Dallas' defense has been surprisingly good this season, and the Ravens have shown they don't have the offense to really threaten them. Baltimore ranks 25th in the league in yards per game and 24th in points scored. They just won't be able to keep up with the Cowboys' offense.
