I think the Rams are better than Dallas right now. Rams 20, Cowboys 16

Wow! So... pretty much, no one is confident with this team.

This score could reflect the kind of solid win the Cowboys haven't had in a long time. I'd take it, and feel encouraged.

A 10 point victory would be considered a blowout win for the Cowboys. They haven't beaten anyone by more than 8 points in their last 9 games.

I don't know about a score, but I think the Rams win. This offense can't put points on the board. I'm hoping Dez can outplay Janoris Jenkins and get us a victory, but I'm not going to brelieve it till I see it. The Cowboys have an unfortunate habit of taking teams lightly, especially ones they were successful against the previous year. I'm sure the Rams aren't going to let Murray run for 200+ yrds this time around...

Cowboys 24
Rams 21

I don't know if this team is capable of blowing anyone out. No matter who they play it is always a close game.\
It would be a close game if we played the 0-16 lions from a few years back.

I think you're probably right. They play close.

This team doesn´t know how to pull away from other teams, so might want to be ready for another close one, 24-20 Cowboys.

Im going to go with the same score for essentially the same reason. Inefficient on offense and don't know how to put a team away.

24-20 Cowboys

What's you're final score against the Rams?

Dal: 34
STL: 13

I don't think we lay 2 eggs in a row like that. I'm confident we'll look very sharp for the first time this season against a defense that'll give us more chances than none. I also believe our defense will have a field day with the Rams.

.... We should, atleast. Hopefully we play to our potential and not theirs.

You must be thinking about the last time these teams played in 2011. The Rams are a different team they've clearly improved while the Cowboys were probably a better team in 2011 than they are now. The Cowboys ranked 18th in rushing that season after Murray burst onto the scene with his franchise record 253 yards. That's more yards than he's gained in his last 4 games. That Cowboys team was able to dominate some teams unlike the current team who could only manage a 5 point win on opening day with 6 takeaways and the aid of 2 defensive scores. :cool: The Cowboys thrashed the Rams by 27 two years ago and three weeks later they mauled the Bills by 37 points.

Although that Cowboys team ended up 8-8 they showed some killer instinct and were able to win 4 straight games that season something they haven't done since. The 16 point win over Tampa in week 15 of the 2011 season was the Cowboys biggest margin of victory in their last 18 games. No team in the NFL has played tighter games the past 2 seasons than the Cowboys who couldn't keep a dazed Marvis Fraizer on the mat. Expect the usual dogfight on Sunday.

When was the last game we had a comfortable lead and could relax later in the fourth quarter?

I love looking at stats, crunching numbers, etc.

Romo has 91 pass attempts, sacked 5 times
Bradford has 93 pass attempts, sacked 0 times

Rams have 90 more yards on 7 fewer completions including 5TDs (to Dallas' 3)

The running games are fairly similar
DAL: 39carries 124yds 0TDs
STL: 42carries 136yds 0TDs

As much as I (and others) have whined about the lack of a run game so far... Dallas is 24th against the pass, St Louis is 27th, SOO this game will probably end up a shootout between Romo and Bradford.

Oh and Greg The Leg vs Dan The Man.

I don't do predictions, but I will tell you that Jeff Fisher will come in and try to punish us. I see this game almost like the Tampa game last year where they almost knocked our clocks off. There defense is very solid, and they have two corners who might be better then ours.

It won't be easy at all.

That's a safe prediction seeing the Cowboys haven't won a game by more than 5 points since week 13 of the 2012 season. The last 3 Cowboy victories have been by a combined total of 9 points.
