I don't take anything for granted anymore. Whenever I do the other shoe seems to drop. I do like the way our team has been playing lately. Maybe that Monday night game was a wake up call. They haven't been embarrassed like that since the Fisher days.

The Cowboys might have been overrated but they do have the talent. A good line, a good receiver and a good running back. Prescott has good numbers, just not enough scoring. They have some solid players on defense too. We are not good enough to overlook anyone these days. We should win, but it could be tough.

How much do spreads matter ?? The biggest upset, spread wise, in the SB I believe was the Cheatriots 14.5 point dogs to the Rams...

I don't think its as big a game for the Cowgirls than everyone is thinking. I have a buddy that is a huge cowboys fan and he thinks that we are going to destroy them and it won't really matter because they play the Redskins next week that he sees a as a freebee and then they play the eagles the last week which will probably be for the division unless the eagles don't win one of the next two games then it won't even matter. But more than likely it comes down the week 17 for them against the eagles. Hopefully the cowgirl players see this as well and will come out flat.

They are -1 or PK at the 8 sports books here in Vegas.

I'd imagine it will come down to a pickem.

But - we're not that great in close games this year. The only truly close game we won was against the Browns (we were up 10 late on Carolina and they scored to make it look closer). Our other 6 wins are all by double digits, and the Carolina game as I mentioned before, wasn't actually that close.

I doubt this plays into it - but if you expected a close game, odds are our bad luck will continue and GZ will miss a kick, and the fumble will bounce right to Dallas.
You really do make a good point about close games, and this game is being played in Arlington.

Let's hope that this game is a blowout in the Rams favor :)

Rams open as 2.5-point underdogs vs. struggling Cowboys in Week 15

For most of the season, the Rams and Cowboys were on similar paths. They both started 3-0 before going on three-game losing streaks, suffering one embarrassing loss each: Dallas to the Jets and the Rams to Tampa Bay.

They got things back on track by winning their next two, but the Rams have since pulled away from Dallas since both were 6-4. The Cowboys have lost three straight to fall to 6-7, while Los Angeles has won two of its last three to get to 8-5.
Yet, the Rams still enter their Week 15 matchup with Dallas as underdogs. According to BetMGM, the Cowboys are favored by 2.5 points at home over the Rams. The over/under is set at 47.5, the third-highest total of Week 15 thus far.

This is somewhat of a surprise after seeing how the last two weeks have gone for each team. The Cowboys lost by 11 points to the Bills at home on Thanksgiving, and they followed it up with a 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday night – a game that was much more lopsided than the score indicates.

The Rams blew out the Cardinals in Week 13, 34-7, and dominated the Seahawks at home on Sunday night, 28-12. They look like the team we saw at the beginning of the season, finding a groove offensively and still playing at a high level on defense.
Dallas has a lot of talent on its roster, but the Rams certainly look like the better team at this point in the season despite being underdogs at AT&T Stadium.

Glad to still have a dog in the fight. Keep it going and good things will come.

We don’t know what Cowboys team shows up on Sunday.

they have talent. But it’s more about us. If we are truly back, and the OL continues to play well, it won’t be close.

The Rams haven't shown me much htis year....they are a 9-7 to 10-6 team....6th best team in the NFL....any 'talented' 8-8 team can beat them; that being said I think we will beat the 49ers, but Dallas is 50-50....Dallas needs it to win the division...Dak will be the reason they lose, and Goff/Gurley will be the reason we win!

We shouldn't be too confident yet. Just two weeks ago we were brutalized on Monday night football. Things change quickly in the NFL and Dallas, like us, may start playing like a desperate animal.
Not that I disagree....but:
After playing the Ravens-- the Rams have been facing opponents with the difficulty mode switched from Expert to Easy. That game might have been our catalyst.
We are getting hot at the right time. My money is on us doing to the Cowboys what the Ravens did to us.

Go Rams!
