Cowboys vs. Rams Preview

Both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance left the Cowboys this offseason. This means that Dak Prescott needs a new backup, and currently, there are two options: Joe Milton III or Will Grier. Starting with this game, the two will battle for that spot.

Former Texas RB star and the 5th-round pick from this year’s draft, Jaydon Blue, is going to have his hands full. The strong rusher is immediately going to be tested hard, and we can’t wait to see how he performs.

On the other hand, the fact that the Rams signed Jimmy G is huge. Now, we just might see the veteran QB here, because he needs to be in shape right now. Matt Stafford’s injury causes trouble, and Sean McVay has to get Garoppolo in the rhythm fast.

The Rams didn’t have too many picks, and we should see all of their rookies in action. Konata Mumpfield from Pittsburgh wants to secure his spot in the WR rotation. Here’s a chance for him.

Cowboys vs. Rams Head to Head

It’s 20-18 in the series for the Dallas Cowboys. They also won the last meeting in October 2023, 43-20 at home.

Cowboys vs. Rams Predictions

Dallas comes with two relatively inexperienced quarterbacks who haven’t played much. Meanwhile, the Rams have Garoppolo, so our money is on them.
