Prediction

Cowboys 30, Rams 27

Moneyline (?)

The Rams won’t have home-field advantage this weekend with no fans allowed in SoFi Stadium, making it easier to see why Dallas is favored in this game. On paper, the Cowboys look like the better team, especially after a great offseason.

The Rams lost a ton of talent this spring and have a first-year coordinator leading the defense, which could spell trouble. Take the COWBOYS (-150) to win outright.

Dallas Cowboys Vs Rams Line

Against the Spread (?)

The Cowboys come in as 2.5-point favorites, which is where the line has remained for weeks. Dallas blew out the Rams at home last season behind a dominant offensive showing, and while the score isn’t likely to be as lopsided again, I do like the Cowboys in this one.

Take the COWBOYS -2.5 (-110) to win by a field goal and cover the spread Sunday night in what will be a back-and-forth contest.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under of 51.5 is the highest of any game left this week, and by a comfortable margin. Each team boasts stars on both sides of the ball, but there could be some coverage mix-ups and missed tackles on defense after the cancelation of the preseason.

I’m inclined to take the OVER 51.5 (-110) in this game, which could turn into a shootout between QBs Jared Goff and Dak Prescott.
