I think we win this one.

The turnovers have to start coming for us how unlucky were we not to pick Pickett on that one throw that was tipped 16 times.

I predict we get 2+ and win by 9 points.

Guess this is the pre-game thread....

Wish I had your optimism. We have a below average line. Cowboys have an above average pass rush. Doesn't bode well for the passing game.

If our defense can let a weak offense like Pittsburgh run ragged through them in the 4th quarter it doesn't give me much confidence they can do better against the Cowboys.

I don't see us winning this one. That last game took the excitement out of me. If we can't beat a marginal team I don't see us beating a legit playoff team.

The Los Angeles Rams are on the road this week as they’ll face the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon. It’s an early 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but even with the majority of games being played in the early afternoon window, Rams-Cowboys will be broadcast to a large portion of the country.
According to the broadcast map from 506 Sports, Rams-Cowboys is going to be on FOX in most of the country. Check the map below to see if you’re in the red area, which means you’ll get this NFC matchup on TV this weekend.

The Cowboys are always a big ratings draw for the NFL, so it’s hardly surprising that this game will be shown to a large audience. It’s not exactly a rivalry game but with this being their sixth meeting since 2017, the Rams and Cowboys are very familiar with each other.
The Rams are 3-2 against Dallas since Sean McVay took over in 2017, but they lost the most recent meeting, 22-10, last season.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was another Demarco Murray-esque, they run roughshod over the defense kind of Rams-Cowboys game.

McVay always seems to have a good plan for the Boys. I think we run the rock 35+ times in this one and win a close one.

I agree. We struggle vs a good rush and the Boys have that. Which means Dallas will get a ton of looks vs our defense and points will be scored.

Abandon all hope. The Cowboys are winning by 78 points. A random kid with down syndrome from the crowd will throw the last TD.

If McVay goes right at the Boys with our running game we will win this game. Minimal use of empty in my opinion.

Hey @Rynie; For the Rams to win, what is the Monday storyline?

The Rams can win this but there's no room for error. I think McVay has to let Stafford get the ball out quick and not get carried away with the pass game like he tends too.

As for other things is it true Stafford is playing with pain? He looked fine to me against the Steelers and made some great escapes. Thing is though, he has to spread the ball more. He's not going to Tutu like he should and was before Kupp returned. No doubt those two have it going on but he has to spread the ball to keep the defense honest.

The Ram defense has done well but their penalties come at the worst times. They gotta have better discipline in their play because if they can't keep the QB contained he'll have a field day running.

I’m betting the jersey you wore when the Cowboys won their last Super Bowl was a onesie made by Oshkosh B’Gosh.
