This might be the first neutral site playoff game and I'm giving Rams fans credit with this because you know the Cowboys fans are going to be out in full force.

This is maybe the best matchup the both teams could've hoped for. That sounds weird but the Rams can't stop the Cowboys from doing what they're doing and I honestly don't think the Cowboys can stop the Rams from doing what they're doing. Seattle only got 3 yds a rush last game and the Cowboys need to find their magic to do that again against the Rams but I'm not sure the Cowboys match up as well against the Rams oline. Cowboys are also bad at forcing INTs which is maybe the Rams biggest or 2nd biggest weakness heading into the playoffs.

I thinking something like 27-24 Rams but this should be a fun game. If the Cowboys can rattle Goff then they can win, though
Good comment. I think Goff can be rattled, but I also think that the Rams pass rush can rattle Dak. The rushing game will be huge for both teams.

That to me actually helps the Cowboys. They dont want to go score for score in a high scoring match up. Longer offensive drives for both teams should ensure a close game. If Dallas wins, it will be in a close game. See if Dak can do another one of those 4th Qtr deals. if the Rams arent grinding means there will be more possessions. That is kinda the opposite of the Cowboys game plan.
It can only help the Cowboys if they can stop Gurley. Elliott will get his yards.

Wow. Would not have thought opposing running backs are averaging over 5 ypc against the Rams. Zeke gonna eat again.

Not as confident in this game as the Hawks at home, but I do like how the boys matchup with the Rams.

You Rang?? I am hungry! :pop2:

My money is on the Ram's even with the points. This one is the easiest game to pick this weekend IMO.

Dallas just doesn't have the offense to match up against the Ram's. Dallas has a solid defense.....but it isn't good enough to slow down the Ram's offense all that much.

As long as Goff doesn't pee down his leg and turn the ball over, the Ram's should roll.

i'll take the points. i think in 14 of the last 15 postseason games, the underdog has covered. I think all of the spreads this weekend are too big.

I'm comfy at -7 on this one but I am hoping all the Cowboy homers will get their money on the game and drive that down just a little by the time the week is out.

Honest opinion is the Rams are the better of these two teams, but the matchup is good for Dallas, as Dallas' strength RUSH offense goes against LA's weakness RUSH defense. The Rams are rightfully favored, but Dallas has a legit chance at winning this game.

I agree. Hey, we agree on something!

One of the best ways to neutralize homefield advantage is with a strong running game and a stout defense. Dallas has both. As much as I hate them, they can beat anyone in the league. I have sincere doubts they can do it 4 games in a row throughout the playoffs...but stranger things have happened.

See there's hope for you yet.:suds:

I fully agree they have a rough road to drive over. I'm happy they made the PS, but I'm not confident they will get the main prize.

Rams are gonna handle business at home, if the game was is Dallas, it could go either way, but home field with the sack master Donald, and that Rams offense... I’m going with the Rams ....

Will there be more Rams fans than Cowboys fans in the stadium? I’m not sure.

I"m sure they'll be more Rams fans, but the real advantage comes with resting up for a week, sleeping in your own bed, not traveling, it's the reason getting home field is so big in the NFL, especially getting the bye week ...
