NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Dallas. According to latest NFL trends, the Ravens are 1-5 against the spread in their last six home games, while the Cowboys are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five road games versus a team with a winning home record. Dallas is rested after having its bye last week and Baltimore is coming off a pitiful win on the road against Kansas City. The Ravens have issues against press coverage and the Cowboys have the cornerbacks to matchup up with Baltimore on the outsides. When Joe Flacco and the no-huddle offense has clicked, Baltimore has had no issues scoring. But Flacco has had issues establishing a rhythm and this should be another tight game throughout. Take the three points with the hook.
