Question engine running cooler after blocking the grill

like the tittle says, i blocked the grill on my cavalier, and now the opposite of what i was expecting is happening. instead of running a bit hotter, it is running cooler. now i understand that the stock temp gauge is not that accurate, but normally it sits a little above 195*, but now its about the same distance, but below 195*. what could be the cause of this? it does have an air dam attached to the bottom of the radiator to direct air upwards to the radiator, but the fact still remains that there is less air flow. this has me stumped. i should be ordering my scangauge friday, so i will have a better readout on the actual temp. but what could be causing this?
