Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Rams: 5 Bold predictions for Divisional Round
1. The Cowboys pull off a big upset
This is the most bold prediction of all. Who wins the Divisional Round game … the No. 4 seeded Dallas Cowboys, who seem to be playing with a chip on their shoulder as of lat,e or the No. 2 seeded Rams, who have maybe the most popular and wanted head coach — Sean McVay — in all of the NFL?
Of all of the bold predictions made so far, the one that will affect the final outcome the most isn’t even listed, as it comes down to which team not only has the best game plan, but which one executes it the best in all four quarters of action.
This game is more than Dak vs. Goff or Zeke vs. Gurley or even Donald vs. the Cowboys offensive line. This game could come down to which team is coached the best, and for the Cowboys, they have to be getting tired of how great McVay and all the Rams coaches are, and as a unit, they’ve not yet achieved a playoff win.
That’s not knocking the Rams, as they are a very good team, but at least Jason Garrett and the Cowboys coaching staff have been to the divisional round within the past three seasons, and they’ve seemed to turn the corner as of late if looking at the second half of the Cowboys’ season.

The game plan for both the Rams and the Cowboys will be of vast importance, and whichever team executes their plan the best will win this game. If the Cowboys’ game plan is to use Elliott to all of his abilities and make him a dual threat and stick with it, then the seven-point underdog tag oddsmakers have put on them will be for naught and the Cowboys will gain the upset win, 28-26
