I am going against the grain and taking the Rams. These teams have nearly the same defensive statistics, Rams are ranked 24th for total yds and Cowboys are ranked 25th. What I like about the Rams is that they know how to move the ball. Their offense is ranked 10th with 394 passing yds/game and 326 rushing yds/game. These numbers are not stellar but they are very good and well balanced. They’ll keep the under-performing Cowboys defense on their heels.
