Los Angeles Rams at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Rams (3-4) are on the road this week against the Dallas Cowboys (4-2), a marquee NFC matchup at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rams vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, 24-17, after blowing a 4th-quarter lead at home. They have yet to win back-to-back games this season, missing that opportunity last week against Pittsburgh. The Rams are just 1-2 since WR Cooper Kupp returned from injury and they remain in 3rd place in the NFC West after 7 weeks.

The Cowboys were off for their bye last week, so they’re well-rested coming into this matchup. In their most recent game, they beat the Los Angeles Chargers, 20-17, at SoFi Stadium. Dallas ranks 5th in points scored and 4th in points allowed, but red zone struggles and penalties have been costly this season.

Rams at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Rams 20

Moneyline

The Cowboys are understandably big favorites in this one, coming off their bye against a Rams team that just lost to the Steelers to drop below .500. However, as impressive as Dallas has looked against teams like the New York Giants and New York Jets, it also played terribly against the Cardinals and 49ers.

At -275, it’s hard to feel confident taking that line against a resilient Rams team that has kept games close, for the most part, this season. PASS.

Against the spread

The Rams are 4-2-1 ATS in 2023, with their 2 losses coming against the Eagles and Steelers. They blew leads to both teams and collapsed in the 2nd half of each game, gaining just 20 net yards in the 4th quarter last week.

Though 3 of the Cowboys’ 4 wins were blowouts, this game doesn’t have the makings of a lopsided affair. The Rams play a conservative style of defense that tries to prevent big plays, and the offense has enough playmakers with Kupp and WR Puka Nacua to challenge the Cowboys secondary.

BET RAMS +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

With the Rams offense struggling, the total has only gone Over in 2 of their 7 games so far. Dallas’ inconsistency, as well as its lesser opponents, has caused the total to go Over in just half of its games (3 of 6).

With the way both teams are playing at the moment, each struggling in the red zone at times, LEAN UNDER 45.5 (-110) on Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Chargers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Chargers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) welcome the Dallas Cowboys (3-2) to SoFi Stadium for Monday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cowboys vs. Chargers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers had a bye in Week 5. They beat the Las Vegas Raiders 24-17 in Week 4, pushing as a 7-point home favorite. They are 1-2-1 against the spread (ATS) this season and are 0-1-1 ATS at home while going 2-2 O/U. The Chargers defense has allowed 24 or more points in 3 of 4 games. QB Justin Herbert has 1,106 passing yards and 7 TDs in 4 games.

The Cowboys are coming off a discouraging 42-10 loss at the San Francisco 49ers last week. They failed to cover as a 3.5-point road underdog as the Over 45 hit. Dallas is 3-2 ATS this season and 1-2 ATS on the road. QB Dak Prescott has had his fair share of struggles so far, with 5 TDs and 4 INTs in 5 games.

Cowboys at Chargers picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 28, Cowboys 27

Moneyline

BET CHARGERS (+105).

The Chargers were 5-3 at home last season while the Cowboys were 5-5 on the road. LA is 1-1 at home, but lost 36-34 in a shootout in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. It has played well this season and will be taking on a defense that has given up 28 or more points in 2 of its last 3 games.

The Cowboys have struggled on defense and will be taking on a potent Herbert-led attack. The Cowboys haven’t played many quality QBs. They beat the New York Jets led by Zach Wilson, the New York Giants led by Daniel Jones, and the New England Patriots led by Mac Jones. None of that has been too impressive.

Expect the Cowboys’ defense to continue to struggle and back the CHARGERS (+105) to come out on top at home.

Against the spread

PASS.

The Cowboys haven’t beaten a team .500 or better and will struggle, so avoid the spread play on either side and back the Chargers on the ML. Dallas’ lone game against a team over .500 was a 42-10 loss against the 49ers.

Over/Under

BET OVER 51 (-110).

The Cowboys are 3-2 O/U this season and have gone north of the projected total in 3 of their last 4 games. The Chargers are 2-2 O/U and have scored at least 24 points in each battle.

Both teams have dynamic QBs and lacking defenses which should be a recipe for a fast-paced, high-scoring game. Take OVER 51 (-110).

Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Cowboys (3-1) take a trip to California to visit the San Francisco 49ers (4-0) Sunday. Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cowboys vs. 49ers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Dallas handed coach Bill Belichick the worst loss of his career in a 38-3 victory Sunday, covering as a 6-point favorite. QB Dak Prescott was solid in the win as he completed 28 of his 34 passes for 261 yards and 1 TD, but the defense was the star of that show. The Boys’ defense scored on both a fumble return TD and an interception return TD in the 2nd quarter while also racking up 3 turnovers, 2 sacks and 4 tackles for loss.

San Francisco covered as a 14.5-point favorite in a 35-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. Both QB Brock Purdy and RB Christian McCaffrey were stellar in the win. Purdy set a new 49ers franchise record in completion percentage (95%) as he completed 20 of his 21 passes for 283 yards, 1 TD and 1 rushing TD. McCaffrey set a new career high in TDs in a game (4) as he ran for 3 on the ground and caught a 6-yard TD pass.

Cowboys at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

49ers 24, Cowboys 20

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the 49ers to pick up their 3rd-consecutive win vs. Dallas, but a -185 favorite is not worth the risk. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN 49ERS -3.5 (+100).

This 49ers team is on a roll right now as McCaffrey has scored a TD in 13 straight games, and Purdy is still undefeated in the regular season as a starter (9-0). The Cowboys’ defense is real, and I expect them to make things tough on this Niners offense. However, Prescott has proven to be turnover prone in big moments, especially when trailing, and I expect that trend to continue here and help the Niners cover.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 45 (-110).

San Francisco ranks 2nd in total offense, averaging 398 yards per game, but both of these teams are known for their defenses. Dallas’ defense ranks 2nd in total yards allowed per game (259.8) while San Francisco’s defensive unit ranks 5th (284.3). I expect both teams’ edge rushers to make life hard on these QBs and look for each to throw at least 1 interception. This will be a close game filled with defense and not much explosive offense.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New England Patriots (1-2) will travel South to face the Dallas Cowboys (2-1) in Week 4 Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Patriots vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Patriots covered the 2.5-point spread as road favorites in their 15-10 victory against the New York Jets in Week 3. The Under of 35.5 also hit in a game where QB Mac Jones and QB Zach Wilson combined for only 358 passing yards.

It was a surprising loss for the Cowboys in Week 3, failing to cover as 11-point road favorites in their 28-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The Over of 43.5 cleared with the Cardinals doing most of the heavy lifting themselves.

Patriots at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Patriots 20

Moneyline

Vegas seems to believe the Cowboys are in a perfect bounce-back spot at home against the Patriots in Week 4. Despite that being the case, I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game for either team.

Against the spread

With the Patriots now having a watchable offense under new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, taking the PATRIOTS +6.5 (-115) to cover the spread is a wise choice. New England played the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles competitively before beating New York in Week 3.

In the 5 meetings the Patriots and Cowboys have had since 2007, New England has either won or kept the game within 7 points. That includes a 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys in 2021.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 43.5 (-110).

While the Cowboys are dealing with injuries along their offensive line, the Patriots are banged up in the interior of their defensive line. After losing to the Cardinals, RB Tony Pollard will be even more involved on the ground and should have more success.

Meanwhile, the loss of CB Trevon Diggs for the season hurts the Cowboys tremendously, allowing the Patriots to sustain more drives through the air. We saw Arizona put up 28 points on Dallas’ defense and the Cowboys are 2-1 to the Over to begin the season.

The Dallas Cowboys (2-0) are on the road in Week 3 to take on the Arizona Cardinals (0-2). They play Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cowboys vs. Cardinals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Cowboys have started the season looking like the best team in the NFL, beating both the New York Jets and Giants by a combined 70-10 score. They have forced 7 turnovers and sacked opposing quarterbacks 10 times.

The Cardinals have played 2 close games, losing 20-16 in Week 1 to the Washington Commanders and then 31-28 to the Giants, getting outscored 31-8 in the second half. They have covered the spread in both games.

Cowboys at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 34, Cardinals 13

Moneyline

The Cowboys have scored 70 points in 2 games. The Cardinals allowed 31 in the second half of last week’s loss.

The Cowboys have the league’s No. 1 defense. The Cardinals have scored only 11 second-half points this season.

There is no reason why the Cowboys should lose this game, but the -700 line is not worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Cardinals are 2-0 ATS this season, but so are the Cowboys.

Arizona’s defense was great for 6 quarters but injuries sapped their depth, which led to 31 points allowed in the second half of last game.

Dallas’ defense should overwhelm the Cardinals’ offense with QB Joshua Dobbs leading the way, who has not thrown a touchdown pass yet.

BET COWBOYS -12.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The question for this game is whether the Cardinals will be able to scored double-digit points. The Cowboys have reached 30 points in both games, but the total has not passed 40 points in either game yet.

They should reach the 30s. Can the Cardinals score more than 10? I think so.

BET OVER 43 (-110).

New York Jets at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Jets at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Jets (1-0) visit the Dallas Cowboys (1-0) on Sunday with kickoff from AT&T Stadium set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Cowboys, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

New York pulled out a 22-16 OT win againstthe Buffalo Bills despite losing starting QB Aaron Rodgers to injury after just 4 snaps of action. Backup QB Zach Wilson played just well enough for the Jets as he completed 67% of his passes (14 of 21) for 140 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT.

What propelled New York to the win was its play on defense and in the run game. RB Breece Hall shined in his return from injury, totaling 127 yards on 10 carries. New York’s defense forced Bills QB Josh Allen to commit 4 turnovers and racked up 5 sacks and 8 tackles for loss as a team.

Dallas stunned the NFL world with a 40-0 rout of the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. Similarly to New York, the defense shined for the Cowboys. QB Dak Prescott completed just 13 of 24 of his passes (54%) for 143 yards and RB Tony Pollard ran for 70 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries.

Dallas’ defense scored on a blocked FG return and an interception return while also forcing 3 turnovers, 7 sacks, and 10 tackles for loss as a team.

Prediction

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cowboys should pick up the win, but as (-450) favorites the line is not worth the juice. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN JETS +9 (-110).

I expect this to be a low-scoring game that is headlined by running backs and defense for both teams, which will make it easier for the Jets to keep this game close. I expect New York to do as much as they can to hide Wilson and not force him to do much. If Wilson can play similarly to the way he did last week, the Jets will be able to keep this a 1-possession game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 38.5 (-110).

I am expecting Wilson to have a lot of trouble throwing the football as the Cowboys have likely the best CB duo in the NFL with Trevon Diggs and Stephon Gilmore. The Cowboys’ offense didn’t look phenomenal despite their lopsided Week 1 win, and I expect the Jets’ defensive line to give the ‘Boys problems with both their pass rush and run stuffing abilities.

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants kick off their season on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cowboys vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

It was somewhat of a quiet offseason for the Cowboys. They acquired CB Stephon Gilmore and WR Brandin Cooks and retained RB Tony Pollard via the franchise tag. They made waves a couple of weeks ago when they acquired QB Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers to back up QB Dak Prescott, who now has his feet to the fire.

The Giants enter the season with a lot of questions at receiver. Darius Slayton, Parris Campbell and Isaiah Hodgins lead the receiving corps, which isn’t much to write home about. TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is also questionable for this one, and that could put a lot of pressure on QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley.

Cowboys at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Giants 17

Moneyline

Dallas has beaten the G-Men 4 straight times and is 9-1 over the last 10. The 2 games last season were competitive, with the Cowboys coming away with 28-20 and 23-16 wins. The key in this game will be how well the offensive line holds up with 2 starters already injured in front of a mistake-prone Prescott. The Cowboys are stacked with WR CeeDee Lamb expected to take another step forward toward the NFL’s elite wideouts.

Dallas is rightfully favored, and we’re going to avoid paying -175 on its moneyline. PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

Laying 3.5 points with the Cowboys is a pretty decent proposition. They’re 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against the Giants, and this number would have covered in 4 straight meetings. The Giants surprised a lot of people last season at 9-7-1, but they’re one of the teams you can see taking a step back this year.

Take the COWBOYS -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. This number, though, would not have cashed in 2 of the last 3 meetings. I’m more akin to the Under in Week 1, especially with Dallas’ O-line banged up and the Giants looking rather one-dimensional with Barkley.

LEAN UNDER 45.5 (-110).

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) and the Dallas Cowboys (0-2) each wrap up the preseason schedule Saturday at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders have won 6 straight preseason games dating back to Aug. 29, 2021, including a 34-17 doubling up of the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium last Saturday as 3.5-point favorites. The Silver and Black have covered both preseason games, scoring exactly 34 points in each outing, while cashing the Over in both contests.

The Cowboys were dropped 28-23 in the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home Aug. 12, and fell 22-14 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks last Saturday. Dallas is 0-2 against the spread (ATS) in the preseason while splitting the Over-Under.

Raiders at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 23, Raiders 19

Moneyline

The COWBOYS (+165) are a tremendous play at home. The Raiders may have won both of their preseason games to date with prolific offensive play, but I like desperation from Dallas, and that’s what we’ll see from its offense.

QB Will Grier is scheduled to start Saturday’s game, and he is scheduled to finish it, too. He is getting a full game to show the other 31 teams what he can do, as he is expected to be a roster casualty after the team traded for San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance Friday, joining starting QB Dak Prescott and veteran QB Cooper Rush in the quarterbacks room. I like the idea of a QB going wire-to-wire, especially one with nothing to lose but a whole lot to gain.

Against the spread

The COWBOYS +4.5 (-110) are a solid play at home catching points if you can’t bring yourself to play them straight up.

Again, Grier will be playing with a lot of desperation, trying to amass as much good video as possible for the rest of the league. I like that, and you should too.

Over/Under

OVER 38.5 (-110) is worth the play, but go lightly.

Raiders rookie QB Aidan O’Connell will likely see extended action, as he tries to make a push for the primary backup job ahead of veteran QB Brian Hoyer. O’Connell has lit it up in the preseason, throwing for 304 yards and 2 TD in 2 games. He’ll help the Raiders continue their offensive assault.

And, as mentioned above, Grier will be going all out trying to impress his next employer. I think we get into the 40s here, at least.

The Seahawks fell behind 10-0 vs. the Minnesota Vikings but then outscored them 24-3 the rest of the way in a 24-13 home win Aug. 10. QB Drew Lock went 17-of-24 passing for 191 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT.

Cowboys at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 23, Seahawks 20

Moneyline

The Cowboys will not have their most important starters (QB Dak Prescott, CB Trevon Diggs, LB Micah Parsons) in this game. Seattle could play some starters.

Both teams showed the ability to score points in their preseason openers.

But as things go with all preseason games, because the game ultimately will be decided by players who either will be backups or not on NFL rosters, the only way to bet the preseason is to go with the plus odds on the moneyline.

BET COWBOYS (+220).

Against the spread

The Seahawks covered the spread in their win last week.

The Cowboys could not cover the 4-point spread as underdogs.

But because of the volatility of preseason games, there is no good way to follow trends.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both teams scored in the 20s last week.

Seven of the 16 preseason games last week had more than 40 total points.

The Cowboys’ game had 51 total points, while the Seahawks’ game had 37.

Expect both teams to be able to do offensively what they did in their preseason openers.

BET OVER 40.5 (-110).
