Chris’ Pick

I get the case to be made for the Rams here as Los Angeles has performed somewhat well at home on the year. However, the Rams are still banged up, and I just think the Cowboys are the better and more consistent offense here. I’m not expecting a blowout here, but the Cowboys have all the tools here to win this one by a touchdown. Give me the Cowboys laying the points.
