Rams vs. Cowboys, Week 8: Pick against the spread
The Rams (3-4) failed to hold on to a fourth-quarter lead against the Pittsburgh Steelers and fell 24-17 after giving up two touchdowns in the final stanza. Despite the loss, it was another big game for wide receiver and fantasy All-Pro Puka Nacua, who had eight catches for 154 yards. Los Angeles also showed signs of having a solid running game with running backs Royce Freeman and Darrell Henderson each gaining over 60 yards.
Dallas conquered one half of the Los Angeles double when the Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Chargers, 20-17, in a Monday night game on October 16. Quarterback Dak Prescott made enough plays in the back-and-forth contest, throwing for 272 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 40 yards and another touchdown. The Cowboys need to continue winning to keep pace with the Philadelphia Eagles at the top of the NFC East.
The Cowboys have a big game against the Eagles next week and the Rams are a tricky, albeit inconsistent team. This game is going to go down to the wire.
