Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Rams NFL Week 5 Betting Picks & Odds (10/09/2022)

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has more money than God. And he is an NFL Hall of Famer. Jones is the man that has it all. Yet Jones wants the one thing he will likely never attain. But Jones rocks a gold jacket for his business acumen. He does NOT have Hall of Fame status because of being a great football man. Since 1995 Jones has been the Cowboys’ general manager. And the Pro Football betting results have been lacking. It eats at Jones that his team won three Super Bowls with players acquired and trained by Jimmy Johnson.

Cowboys at Rams SBG Odds Overview

Naturally, the Cowboys will draw plenty of sports betting action. Dallas’ status as America’s team has built a generational and worldwide fan base. Also, the Cowboys’ surprising 3-1 start has calmed gamblers down. By contrast, the Rams are feeling the heat of being the defending Super Bowl champions. At times it seems like Los Angeles is hungover with Super Bowl glory. And reading their own headlines.

Dallas Cowboys Team Overview

Last week, the Cowboys won 25-10 against the Commanders as 3-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 40.5. Dallas has a record of 3-1 straight up, 3-1 against the spread, and 0-3-1 over/under the total.

To be exact, the Dallas Defense was again outstanding. As a unit, Dallas allowed only 155 yards passing. While earning two sacks, 11 quarterback hits, and six tackles for loss. Hence, the Cowboys held their opponent to under 20 points for the fourth straight game. That was the first time doing so in the first four contests of a season since 1973 and the original Doomsday Defense.

Additionally, the Commanders were penalized 11 times for 136 yards in the game. In turn, Cooper Rush and the Cowboys’ offense could get the necessary points needed. Rush was the first Dallas quarterback to win his first four starts. Rush completed 15 of 27 pass attempts for 223 yards and two touchdowns. Specifically, he posted an impressive 107.5 passer rating.

On the other hand, CeeDee Lamb posted 97 yards and a touchdown on six catches. And then Michael Gallup added 24 receiving yards on two grabs. Gallup drew two pass interference penalties totaling another 65 yards and recorded a touchdown.

Los Angeles Rams Team Overview

Last game, the Rams lost 24-9 against the 49ers as 1-point road dogs. The game went under the total of 42. Los Angeles has a record of 2-2 straight up, 1-3 against the spread, and 1-3 over/under the total.

LA QB Matthew Stafford’s pass intended for receiver Cooper Kupp was intercepted by Talanoa Hufanga and returned 52 yards for a touchdown. Hence, the pick-6 gave the 49ers a 24-9 lead with 6:22 remaining that they would not relinquish. Following that disaster, the Rams reached the 49ers 24. But Stafford fumbled on a sack-fumble on 3rd and ten, and the 49ers recovered it.
