Matchup rating: 68.9 | Spread: DAL -3 (51.5)
What to watch for: The Rams' defense returns stars Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, but under first-year coordinator Brandon Staley, the unit will face a tall challenge in stopping Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and the top-rated 2019 Cowboys offense directed by second-year coordinator Kellen Moore. Staley, whose defense is expected to emulate the Bears and Broncos, must find a way to keep the Cowboys from gaining the 263 rushing yards they piled on the Rams late last season. -- Lindsey Thiry
Bold prediction: Prescott will have a pass intercepted. Not bold? In four season openers, he has thrown 131 passes without having a pass picked off. To close last season, Prescott did not have an interception in the final four games. -- Todd Archer
Stat to know: In last season's season opener, Prescott became the fifth player in NFL history to pass for 400 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in an opener. And after compiling 4,902 pass yards in 2019 -- the second-most in franchise history -- he could join Tony Romo as only Cowboys QBs with consecutive seasons of 4,000-plus passing yards.
What to know for fantasy: The Rams held Michael Gallup to a season-low six yards in Week 15 last season, but he caught 10 passes for 196 yards and three scores over the final two weeks of 2019 and saw his ADP rise throughout draft season this summer. See Week 1 rankings.
Betting nugget: The Rams are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Read more.
Archer's pick: Rams 33, Cowboys 30
Thiry's pick: Rams 21, Cowboys 28
FPI prediction: LAR, 49.9% (by an average of 0.1 points)
