Cowboys vs. Rams Odds and Betting Lines

The Points Spread (Rams -5.5)

The much-maligned Rams offensive line must attempt to bounce back on short rest after allowing seven sacks to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. It wasn't just Niners' superstar Nick Bosa doing the damage either - six different Niners pass rushers brought Matthew Stafford down.

This doesn't bode well for the Rams' chances against the Cowboys - who rank second in the NFL in total sacks on the season, recording two or more in all four games thus far. Dallas has embraced a more defensive style of football in three weeks without star quarterback Dak Prescott, and it has led to success both on the scoreboard and against the spread. The Cowboys are 3-0 ATS in the last three weeks.

It remains to be seen if Prescott will return this week or if Cooper Rush will get one more game as the starter. Either way, Dallas should be prepared to make this a game.

While the Rams have the higher ceiling come playoff time, right now the Cowboys have looked like the better football team. We expect the Dallas pass rush to have a field day, and help the Cowboys cover +5.5.

Over/Under Points Total (43.5)

It should come as no surprise given our reasoning for playing Dallas +5.5, but the Under appears to have some value here as well. The Under is 3-1 in both the Rams' and Cowboys' seasons so far. Whether or not Prescott returns, we expect Dallas' conservative game plan to continue for at least one more week.

With Stafford's form as of late and the Cowboys' offensive questions persisting, we predict a defensive-minded football game to ensue. The DimersBOT agrees, giving the Under 43.5 a 52% chance to hit.
