How it plays out

Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Rams is an all-NFC matchup with seeding on the line. Our model leans Los Angeles Rams's way (59% to 41%, LAR -1), but Dallas Cowboys are live enough to make it interesting.

Tactically, Dallas Cowboys will want to lean on game-wrecking edge to attack Los Angeles Rams, whose run game is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Los Angeles Rams's emerging pass rush could punish Dallas Cowboys if playoff demons goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Brian Schottenheimer and Sean McVay, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Dak Prescott (QB) and Matthew Stafford (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Cowboys at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
