Dallas Cowboys (4-2) at St. Louis Rams (1-4), 1 p.m. ET
The Rams are playing with an edge that helped them upset the Commanders while also nearly costing them the game. While they don't need any more 15-yard penalties from guard Richie Incognito, the new attitude players are showing under Jim Haslett does give them a chance to compete and possibly pull an upset.
It's probably wise to discount what the Rams had become under Scott Linehan. Their talent was better than that. The Rams thought their defensive line would provide a strong pass rush this season. I just question whether the Rams can score enough points to put the Cowboys in obvious passing situations.
This is a game Dallas should win even without Tony Romo. But the Cowboys can't take the outcome for granted. The Rams will beat teams that underestimate them.

For a team in disarray, the Rams will be a welcome sight. I know they beat the Commanders, but look at their overall numbers. They're not even averaging a touchdown a game. No matter what Jerry Jones said Friday, I think the Cowboys will stick with Brad "Check Down" Johnson in this one.
It will be interesting to see how quickly Roy Williams can integrate into the offense. I think Jason Garrett will come up with three or four plays for Williams, but don't expect him to be a vital part of the offense. Marion Barber will get at least 22 carries, and we may hear from young Tashard Choice.
After one of the most tumultuous weeks in recent memory, this team desperately needs a win. Write this down: Rookie Orlando Scandrick from Boise State will have an interception in the first half. The Cowboys win by two touchdowns. Not even the legend of Haslett can slow down Johnson when he starts heaving those passes to Barber.
