Cowboys vs Rams Betting Prediction
Now we have the Cowboys vs Rams Betting Prediction for both teams.
Looking at the betting landscape, the total for this game is likely to be low given the recent head-to-head history – especially since five of the last six Rams home games vs Dallas have hit the under. Dallas has hit the over more often in recent road games, but the preseason typically favors conservative play-calling and second-string evaluations, which could lean this matchup toward another under. With a fresher, more well-rounded roster and far fewer turnover concerns, the Rams offer better value against the spread. Unless Dallas surprises with breakout preseason performances from its backups, Los Angeles looks like the smarter play for Week 1 of the preseason.

Cowboys vs Rams Betting Prediction: Dallas
Here is the Cowboys vs Rams Betting Prediction for Dallas:
As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face off against the Los Angeles Rams on August 9 in Week 1 of the NFL preseason, fans and bettors alike will be looking for signs of early strength and team depth. Historically, the Cowboys have had the edge in this matchup, winning four of their last six meetings with the Rams. However, that trend has not carried over into their recent performances. The Cowboys closed last season with a string of tough losses, finishing just 4-8 in their last 12 games and dropping five of their last seven matchups. Their offense ranked 21st in scoring and struggled on the ground, managing only 100.29 rushing yards per game (27th in the league). Combine that with a 1-7 ATS record in their last eight games against NFC West opponents, and it’s hard to trust Dallas as a preseason favorite, even with their deep roster.

Cowboys vs Rams Betting Prediction: Los Angeles
Here is the Cowboys vs Rams Betting Prediction for Los Angeles:
The Los Angeles Rams, by contrast, are coming into this preseason opener with momentum. They posted a 7-1 record in their final eight games of the 2024 season, including road wins over tough opponents like the 49ers, Jets, and Saints. Quarterback depth and disciplined defense were key factors in that stretch. While their offense still has inconsistencies, the Rams defense ranks in the top five in sacks and continues to disrupt the passing game. Los Angeles also boasts a strong home field presence, with an 11-4 record over their last 15 games played in their stadium. Additionally, they’ve kept the total under in four of their last six meetings with Dallas. Even though their August record stands at 3-9 over the last dozen years, the Rams’ current form and coaching discipline provide reason for optimism heading into this one.
