Dallas Cowboys Betting Analysis
Head coach Jason Garrett is not with the Cowboys anymore as Mike McCarthy stepped in. McCarthy will make his first season debut with Dallas Cowboys this year. Dallas had a proper defense last year which ranked at number 10. The Cowboys were led by quarterback Dak Prescott and he will continue to take his spot. From the running back position, Ezekiel Elliott will return once again. Michael Gallup, Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb will be the other notable players on the squad for the Cowboys. From the defensive end, Leighton Vander Esch and Demarcus Lawrence will take their position with linebacker Jaylon Smith.
Los Angeles Rams Betting Analysis
Los Angeles Rams were not close to even the second sportsbook spot in the NFC West division last year. The Rams were stuck at the third spot with a 9-7 record behind the Seahawks. Los Angeles Rams did not make it to the Wild Card but they were two games above the .500 mark. The Rams will try their best to make it to the postseason this year with the best of their ability. However, there are several changes on their team that might cost them at the beginning.
Todd Gurley has left the offensive backfield position for the Rams, but the Rams still look promising. Quarterback Hared Goff will return after touching 4638 throwing yards for his team. Goff had 22 touchdowns but 16 interceptions. The Rams are keeping their leading receivers intact as Josh Reynolds, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp take their positions. On the other hand, Darrell Henderson Jr. and Cam Akers will fill in for Gurley. The brightest spot for Los Angeles is Aaron Donald from the defensive end.
