The Cowboys vs Rams will kick off at the Rams' shiny new SoFi stadium, but without any fans in attendance due to the coronavirus pandemic. So, home field advantage may not matter much in this match-up.

The Cowboys and Rams met last year, with Dallas notching the victory. For this game, the Cowboys (under new coach Mike McCarthy) are favored again. Quarterback Dak Prescott is coming off his best season yet and has more wideout options now that CeeDee Lamb has joined Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper (though the latter is questionable to play).
And with star running back Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys have a ground game to complement Prescott's passing. Dallas' defense is formidable, too, especially after adding former Pro Bowler Everson Griffin as a pass rusher.
As for the Rams, they parted ways with Todd Gurley and drafted running back Cam Akers to fill his shoes. Quarterback Jared Goff has a capable lineup of passing options, including Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Tyler Higbee. On defense, Los Angeles lost a few key linebackers but fields two strong cornerbacks in Jalen Ramsey and Troy Hill.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the Cowboys vs Rams game.

Cowboys vs Rams live streams in the US
In the U.S., the Cowboys vs Rams game kicks off tonight (Sunday, Sept. 13) at 8:20 p.m. ET. It's on NBC, which is included on most cable TV packages and is available on two live TV services, fuboTV and Sling TV.
Of the two, football fans will probably want fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
Sling may get you this game, but it doesn't include CBS and the NFL Network (nor NFL RedZone). It's a case of "you get what you pay for" since Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX and NBC) costs $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.
Fubo.TV is one of the best streaming services that offers NBC and it's our top pick for watching all of the 2020 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right broadcast networks and the two cable channels you'll need to get your football fix. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.
