Rams 7 pt favorite

[Playmaker3128]

Eagles are favored by 9? You mean +9 right?

Jeez that was dumb of me. Yeah thats what i meant.

 

[Playmaker3128]

We were 3-5 on the road this season. The Rams had a better season than we did. Only makes sense they would be favored at home.

Not saying i disagree. Still 7 is a high number. 4 o 5 i would have thought more likely. What they are essentially saying is our play has been fools gold and the rams struggles lately are nothing to worry about.

Cant someone edit my original post to eagles plus 9!!

What a joke. Indy might make the SB IMO

We can talk about the value of QBs, LTs, Pass rushers, Cody Parkey is the latest to prove that none of it matters without a reliable kicker. Great kickers are grossly underpaid given their importance in a league of parity

 

[Proof]

What the outside thinks does not matter to the Cowboys, they thrive off hate. lol

I get your point but those two things contradict eachotyer

That's Vegas telling you we get smoked.

The very first Cowboys game I remember watching clearly was the 85 divisional round playoff game when Dickerson and the Rams shut them out. I still want revenge for that game.

Was that the game they took Landry off the sidelines, because someone threatened his life. And he couldn’t coach the game.

Our defense vs their defense - favors us slighty
Goff vs Dak - wash
Gurley vs Zeke - wash
Cooper vs Woods - wash
Cooks vs Gallup - favors them
coaching - favors them

We have a huge edge on defense. The Rams D is not very good. The Rams have a huge edge on offense. Our D will need to come up big. If Gurley isn’t close to 100%, they will struggle.

Good ........ I like when this Defense feels insulted.

Didn’t they rank Seattle higher than us last week?

Not really they hear the talk there is no way around it but they do not let it phase them. Dak is asked questions all the time about what his critics say and does not phase him. As he says he knows what he has to do. I do think they feed off of it with a us vs the world mindset

 

[cowboy_ron]

Interesting. Evidently oddsmakers don’t think much of us.

Eagles are -9 FYI.

It has nothing to do with that.......it's about the betting trend.

30+ years of harboring. I like that. Time to get even.

It was the December 7th 1986, Sunday night football game where Landry received the death threats.

 

[Fontaine]

We owe them from losing to them last year... we had them on the ropes and then Switzer fumbled and it all came apart

Oh yes. We do owe them.

First thing that popped in my head. That W was stripped away

 

[GMO415]

And Dak continues to make elite plays

Hahaha. You made a lot of enemies writing that .

 

[Daillest88]

Playing in LA.. yup that a home game fellas

They might have an edge on offense but not a huge edge.

I disagree not because I'm saying the Rams defense is good (although Aaron Donald will be the best defender on either team) but because I'm saying our defense is overrated. Well, for the first half of games it's great but we repeatedly get torched in second halves of games. Go look at the scoreboard for all the games of this season. We give up a lot of 7 point first halves but like 17 point second halves. The defense has been no better than our offense at putting games away that's why every game comes down to the end. They did it again yesterday giving Seattle a very easy touchdown with 2 minutes left.

My concern is how our secondary will hold up against the Rams passing attack. I think Goff throws the ball 35-40 times against us which frightens me a bit.

That's Vegas wanting money poured into the LA bet. They know that week off will make LA sloppy.

Dallas will win by 10 points.
