Ever since the 2020 regular-season schedule was released, the Rams have been underdogs to the Cowboys in Week 1. That is, until now.
Just before kickoff on Sunday night, the line at BetMGM flipped from Rams +2.5 to Rams -1. It’s not a change that happens often, but it is certainly notable. It’s likely because of all the bets coming in on the Rams to cover the spread with 2.5 points, which caused the oddsmakers to shift the line more in the Rams’ favor to balance out the action on both sides.
There wasn’t any significant news that came out before the game to cause this big of a change, either, which points to the fact that there was probably an overwhelming amount of action coming in on the Rams getting 2.5 points.
Anyone who likes the Cowboys to win this game is now able to get a more favorable line with them getting one point instead of giving up 2.5.
