Dallas Cowboys (2-3) vs. St. Louis Rams (0-5)
The Cowboys have to be frustrated after losing last weekend at New England in the last minute of the game. The Rams have been pathetic all year long and they will be without starting QB Sam Bradford in this game. A.J. Feeley will be making his first start since 2007. Here is a look at the matchups in this game:
When the Cowboys have the ball: The Cowboys are going to come out passing in this game and try to break the Rams will early. Tony Romo should have time to throw the ball and the Rams’ secondary is unlikely to offer much resistance. That means that Jason Witten, Miles Austin and Dez Bryant are all in line for big games. Rookie RB DeMarco Murray couldn’t have picked a better team to make his starting debut against. The Rams are allowing 163.0 yards rushing per game and 4.9 yards per carry so far this year.
When the Rams have the ball: The Cowboys are going to go all out to stop RB Steven Jackson and force A.J. Feeley to try to beat them with his arm. Rams’ QBs have been sacked 22 times already this year, so DeMarcus Ware and his buddies should have no problem getting to Feeley. Look for Brandon Lloyd to be featured in the passing game for the Rams.
PREDICTION: COWBOYS 31, RAMS 7
