Lorenzo Reyes: Cowboys 25, Rams 24
Cooper Rush has been exactly what Dallas has needed in Dak Prescott's absence: steady, reliable and protecting the football. The Rams, meanwhile, lack an offensive identity, and their effort on defense has been underwhelming. The losses of Odell Beckham Jr., Von Miller and Andrew Whitworth become more apparent with each passing week.
Safid Deen: Rams 28, Cowboys 24
Matt Stafford might have another rough day against the Cowboys next week, but Cooper Rush’s luck must run out at some point, right? That’s where Aaron Donald comes in.
Lance Pugmire: Rams 24, Cowboys 17
The Cooper Rush story won’t sell in Hollywood with the defending champions intent to apply merciless pressure.
Jarrett Bell: Rams 27, Cowboys 23
