Cowboys are 6 point underdogs at LA

Diehardblues · Oct 3, 2022

It doesn’t seem to matter if Dak or Rush are starting. But I suppose the line could move if there was an announcement. My hunch Rush is playing but we’ll see.

We’ve only been the favorites in one game this season against Washington.

Of course LA plays tonite which is a little odd already having a line up before this game has been played. The outcome tonite could also impact the line for next Sunday.

What they do is pull the line for next week before the game starts, and then post a new line tomorrow around 11 AM EST.

If Rams come out and lay an egg tonight? That line will go down. If they play well? It could stay there or go up a little, but it’s tough to jump to that 7 point hurdle.

Always remember a lot of the line is just based off of public perception.

Rush will start
I hope the rams blow out the niners and maybe look past us a bit.

The odds haven't mattered the last 3 games. Plus I like being the underdog; makes for better trash talking.

I wonder how many spots we move up in the power ranking after we beat them :flagwave:

probably fewer than the number of Rush/Dak threads generated after the victory :laugh:

Cowboys 27 Rams 23 :flagwave:

Vegas def knows Dak isnt playing

Good news

If we fall behind by more than one score, it will get ugly as it will be tee off time on Rush. Can't afford to be flat in the first half on either side of the ball.

RS12 · Oct 3, 2022

Rams on a short week, I probably look at the Boys and the points or the under.

Creeper · Oct 3, 2022

I am almost certain the sportsbooks are assuming Rush is starting and Dak is out again. If Dak has a chance to play, the money will flow to the Cowboys and the spread will be adjusted.

Honestly, Cowboys on the road against the Rams with the Cowboys getting 6 seems like a reasonable line at this point in the week.

The match to focus on is Aaron Donald vs. McGovern or Peters.

I think the Cowboys should be able to get pressure on Stafford. It would not surprise me if they sack him 5 or more times.

I agree their O Line is average at best.

i agree but not because i don't want dak over rush, but becuase i want 100% healthy dak over rush....he should not be rushing back, it needs to be 100% healed and he needs to have no limitations.

If that means Rush for 2 more weeks then so be it.

Rightfully so, LA is legit.

I hate thinking Donald is going to go up against McGovern. Hope he has some help!!

17 - 16 Dallas just to biss off the Dak lovers.

Mr_437 · Oct 3, 2022

The Star Power will be out next game...the individual matchups will be a joy to watch:
Diggs vs Kupp
Ramsey vs Lamb
Donald vs Martin
Wagner vs Zeke/Pollard
Micah vs Rams OTs

Side note: Philbin n McCarthy better get the LG situation figured out because Donald will eat McGovern's lunch and take his helmet.

viman96 · Oct 3, 2022

Some lines showing Rams -4.5. Just depends on the source. I would not be surprised if it moves to -3.5 or -3.

They’re betting on Rush playing.

538 has the rams giving up 5 with Rush on their QB adjusted Elo. If you turn that off it is still them giving up 4.

Seems right to me. Rams would be favored even with Dak and in LA. Tough match up.

slick325 · Oct 3, 2022

The Rams should be favored regardless of the QB1.

Hoping the Dallas defense continues its strong play. Be better against the rush though.

I hope the offense continues to be balanced, smart with the ball (no turnovers) and starts to score TDs instead of kicking FGs.
