Show Caption

Editor’s note: Follow all the action between the Rams and Cowboys with Paste BN Sports’ live coverage.

The Dallas Cowboys (4-2) are back at home, and they'll host the Los Angeles Rams (3-4) in a matchup of NFC squads.

Despite the controversial call that resulted in the Rams' loss to Pittsburgh, Los Angeles sputtered in the second half against a team with offensive struggles. The defense gave up 21 points in the final two quarters while the offense only got eight.

Before they had last week off, the Cowboys were able to go on the road and beat the other Los Angeles team in a close "Monday Night Football" win. Dallas does have its big matchup with Philadelphia next week, but can't get caught looking ahead against the Rams.

NFL Week 8 odds, predictions and picks

Lorenzo Reyes: Cowboys 28, Rams 20

Coming off the bye, Dallas should be well-rested and focused. The Rams outplayed the Steelers for three quarters but the offense stalled in the fourth. With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, the L.A. passing game is in decent shape but the Cowboys should have enough to outscore the Rams.

Tyler Dragon: Cowboys 24, Rams 20

Fresh off a bye week, the Cowboys are looking for their second straight win. Will they pull off the LA team sweep after getting demolished by the 49ers a few weeks ago? The Cowboys have turned the page from their demolition in The Bay, and another victory will prove it.

Safid Deen: Cowboys 31, Rams 17

Cooper Kupp and Puka Nucua would need to play spectacularly if the Rams pull off this upset, but Micah Parsons will pressure Matthew Stafford enough to slow them down in this one. The Cowboys are coming off a bye and won’t disappoint at home against the Rams, who don’t have a run game and fell flat defensively against the Steelers last week.

Victoria Hernandez: Cowboys 25, Rams 17

The Cowboys are coming off their bye with fresh energy to redeem themselves from a bumpy few weeks. Having Cooper Kupp back is helping the Rams, but not enough to go into Jerry World and beat a defense with a reputation to uphold.

Jordan Mendoza: Cowboys 27, Rams 19

The Rams are having all sorts of trouble with their running game with players getting hurt left and right. The offensive line is going to be in trouble all day with the relentless rush defense of Dallas, which paves the way for another dominant home win.
