For most of the season, the Rams and Cowboys were on similar paths. They both started 3-0 before going on three-game losing streaks, suffering one embarrassing loss each: Dallas to the Jets and the Rams to Tampa Bay.
They got things back on track by winning their next two, but the Rams have since pulled away from Dallas since both were 6-4. The Cowboys have lost three straight to fall to 6-7, while Los Angeles has won two of its last three to get to 8-5.
Yet, the Rams still enter their Week 15 matchup with Dallas as underdogs. According to BetMGM, the Cowboys are favored by 2.5 points at home over the Rams. The over/under is set at 47.5, the third-highest total of Week 15 thus far.
This is somewhat of a surprise after seeing how the last two weeks have gone for each team. The Cowboys lost by 11 points to the Bills at home on Thanksgiving, and they followed it up with a 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday night – a game that was much more lopsided than the score indicates.
The Rams blew out the Cardinals in Week 13, 34-7, and dominated the Seahawks at home on Sunday night, 28-12. They look like the team we saw at the beginning of the season, finding a groove offensively and still playing at a high level on defense.
Dallas has a lot of talent on its roster, but the Rams certainly look like the better team at this point in the season despite being underdogs at AT&T Stadium.
