Los Angeles Rams (8-5) @ Dallas Cowboys (6-7)
Game time: Sunday, Dec. 15, 4:25 p.m. EST
Somehow, the Cowboys are currently riding a three-game losing skid and sporting a losing record yet are leading their division and are favored at home against a resurgent Rams team that has strung together back-to-back wins to pull within shouting distance of a wild card berth in the NFC playoff picture.
Dallas, still one of the league’s best offenses talent-wise, continues to get respect from the oddsmakers in Las Vegas, even though they have lost four of their last five with their lone win in that span coming against the Lions. Most recently, the Cowboys fell to the Bears 31-24 in Chicago in a game where Mitchell Trubisky found success against the Dallas defense to the tune of 244 yards and three touchdowns.
As for the Rams, their case for being a postseason contender was bolstered by their 28-12 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday night. Russell Wilson, who has had an outstanding season, was held without a touchdown pass and threw just his fifth interception of the season.
This is an important game for both teams, as the Cowboys are leading the NFC East by owning the tiebreaker over the Eagles and the Rams are still on the outside looking in, trailing the 9-4 Vikings by a game for the final playoff seed in the conference. While the Cowboys may seem to be getting a lot of love for being favored, the line originally opened with Dallas as a four-point favorite and shrunk rather quickly, suggesting that many are catching on to the Rams’ resurgence and to the fact that as good as the Cowboys’ offense has been, they may just be a bad team with a good offense in a terrible division.
