Dallas (+7) at Los Angeles (1-12-19)

[oldunclemark]

8:15 EST     Joe Buck. Troy Aikman (of course, at a Dallas game) and Erin Andrews on FOX

Mid-50s with a good chance of rain at the L.A. Coliseum over-under 49.5

 

Dallas QB Dak Prescott (356 of 526, 3,885 yards, 22 Tds, 8 INTs) tries to take down the No. 2 seeded Rams with WR Amari Cooper (53 catches, 725 yards) and hard running Ezekiel Elliott (304 carries, 1,434 yards).  But the Rams defense will counter with all-pro Aaron Donald (20.5 sacks) and the 'Chain Gang' secondary led by Aqib Talib

 

Rams QB Jared Goff (364 of 561, 4,688 yards, 32 TDs 12 INTs) has top WRs Robert Woods (86 catches, 1,219 yards) and Brandin Coks (80 catches, 1,204 yards) plus star halfback Todd Gurley (256 carries, 1,251 yards, 17 TDs)..going against the Dallas defense led by Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (10.5 sacks)

 

The Rams have 41 sacks and 18 and interceptions.... Dak was sacked 56 times during the regular season.Dallas has won eight of their last nine and the word is: 'America's Team'  has grabbed up the majority of the tickets in the 77,000-seat L.A. Coliseum.  Except for a 15-6 loss to the Bears, the Rmas have scored at least 23 points in every game this season.

 

This is another game that could break big either way.

Forget how the Rams (13-3) finished the season (splitting their last 4) . They've had two weeks off.  Dallas is shorthanded at wide receiver and this is a night when they cant be. It may rain but there's going to have to be a monsoon to even up the skill level on offense.

 

The spread is high but f it wasn't Dallas (11-6), it might be 10 points. Dallas is always overrated

You know you are waiting for the Cowboys lose and the wait is over Saturday night

 

Rams win and cover

3-0 Rams early

[oldunclemark]

7-3 dallas..both teams score first time they get it

[The Old Crow]

Peyton Manning is at this game, and his son is wearing a Ram’s jersey !

Old Peyton's living the high life..

He goes to whatever games he wants to go to..

 

His son must think" "Wow, this is great' Dad gets in free everywhere'

 

 

 

 

 

Dallas 7-6....nobody's really stopping anybody

I wouldn’t be happy if my kids didn’t wear Orioles or Ravens gear. However, a Unitas jersey would certainly be allowed ! I’m pulling for the Rams and against ol ‘ Jerry . 

I like Peyton a lot, but he picked the Ravens apart like a Maryland Blue Crab ! Great QB. 

[oldunclemark]

13-7 Rams..mid-2nd Q

 

Dallas is getting overrun a bit..but they're just down 6

Peyton's probably glad his son doesn't wear Bronco or Colt jerseys..

Either one would cause a stir

I didn’t think about that. Good point. Maybe Peyton should get him a Roman Gabriel or Jack Snow retro jersey. 

The Rams were a cool team in the late 60’s with George Allen as coach. They just couldn’t win the big one. 

[oldunclemark]

20-7 Rams..late 2nd Q

Dallas has got to find a way to slow this game down or they're going to get embarrassed here 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This score makes me happy.

[oldunclemark]

'boys stayin' alive...23-15 Rams late 3rd

 

….Rams are over 300 yards

[RollerColt]

Goff is looking pretty good tonight. I wouldn't be opposed to another Rams-Chiefs match as the Super Bowl. That'd be a lot of fun to watch. 

 

Hopefully the Cowboys go home tonight. That'd make my evening a little better at least...

Welp!

 

Now I know who to blame for the Colts loss!

 

Where's the love Peyton?  You threw off our mojo buddy!

[buffalo34]

Now for Prescott to blow down the field for the easy TD + 2.

[buffalo34]

Yeah, this game is over.

 

Rams are done scoring for the night.

 

Secondary is playing off the TV screen yards off the WRs.

 

Here comes a TD to Cooper.

[buffalo34]

Rams can't defend a 3rd and 14

 

Zeke will easily pick this 1st down up for the Cowboys.

 

Hint to the Rams: They're going to run the ball. Try to actually stop it.

[oldunclemark]

I didn't realize how bad the Rams secondary is.....The 'boys are rallying

[oldunclemark]

4th and 1

'boys at the Rams 40

 

No way/ No how.  Rams take over...23-15  12:00 left

[RollerColt]

What a weird season. 

 

We shut out the Cowboys, and now they're taking it to the Rams... 

 

The 4th down stop was huge though. 

[RollerColt]

HAHAHAHA OMG. That was hilarious. The dude ran right into the Cowboys bench and sat down. There's the entertainment I've been wanting. 

[oldunclemark]

How about CJ Anderson....2 teams released him during the season..

..and he has 100 yards in a playoff game

[oldunclemark]

All the corners on both teams play so far off the WRs.

There must really be a shortage of quality corner backs

You gonna be in the Chargers-Pats thread tomorrow posting crap like this all the live-long-day?

[Girlzarefanstoo]

If he does, i will miss it (DARN!!!)  I will be watching delayed after going to early service at church ;-)

[oldunclemark]

30-15...Rams..mid-4th

 

'boys are baked

I think most of Indiana will join me in saying, we will be praying for you and Rivers tomorrow. 

 

Chiefs vs Chargers would make for a very nice championship game. 

[oldunclemark]

We're seeing today how valuable getting the bye week and a home game is....

Thanks.  I've always rooted for the Colts when we are not in the playoffs.  Easy team to like ♡

We fought like heck to get it.  Next year we have to start more quickly.

[oldunclemark]

Questionable pass interference call give Dallas 7...

 

30-22 Rams with 2:20 left

[buffalo34]

The Rams will punt after 3 plays and then Prescott will blow down the field for the easy TD + 2.

 

Cowboys will then win this in OT.

[buffalo34]

The gods cannot punish America with a Patriots-Cowboys Super Bowl now!

 

The AFC Championship Game will NOT be in Foxboro next Sunday!

 

Just need the Chargers to win tomorrow for it to be a perfect weekend.

[oldunclemark]

  FINAL:  Rams 30, Dallas 22.

Your offensive and defensive linemen seem to benefit so much from the week off...

...especially when you are facing a team which didn't get the week off.

 

Rams earned it.  This is the team they tried to build

Best team money can buy

[#12.]

They have the AFCCG second.  If the Eagles win, the NFCCG will start at noon in LA.

[oldunclemark]

Rams win and cover

[chad72]

Rams are playing tempo control playoff football - C J Anderson spelling Gurley is not good news for playoff teams. It’s warm the rest of the way for Goff and company.
