Key Stats
Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are coming off their bye week. However, they lost to the Detroit Lions 47-9 the last time they played a game. Dak Prescott was horrendous in that game, only completing 17 of 33 passes for 178 yards and two interceptions. This offense begins and ends with how Dak performs. For the season, this offense ranks 20th in points per game, 2nd in passing yards per game, 32nd in rushing yards per game, 26th in offensive touchdowns, 18th in yards per play, and 3rd in turnovers per game. If the Cowboys are going to win this game, CeeDee Lamb must dominate this game through the air. Against Detroit, he caught seven passes for 89 yards on 14 targets.
The Cowboys’ defense has been their weakness this season. They rank 31st in points allowed per game, 19th in passing yards allowed per game, 28th in rushing yards allowed, 22nd in offensive touchdowns allowed, 17th in sacks, and 26th in takeaways per game. With Eric Kendricks questionable this week, he is vital to their defense. Kendricks is 3rd in the NFL in tackles per game. If this defense can muster up some run defense, Dallas will be in a good spot to pull off the upset.
San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, 28-18. Quarterback Brock Purdy struggled mightily in this game. Completing only 17 of 31 passes for 212 yards and three interceptions. Purdy could be without his top three receivers this week. Jauan Jennings is out with a hip injury, Brandon Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL against the Chiefs, and Deebo Samuel left the game with an illness and is questionable for this game. Jacob Cowing was their leading receiver last week with two catches for 50 yards. It will be on the shoulders of Purdy and Jodan Mason to limit the turnovers and keep the ball away from Dallas.
The 49ers defense has been middle of the pack statistically. They rank 16th in points allowed per game, 16th in passing yards allowed per game, 12th in rushing yards allowed per game, 17th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 15th in sacks, and 4th in takeaways per game. Nick Bosa leads them in sacks with 3.5 and Fred Warner leads them in tackles with 36. If they can force a turnover or two in this game, that might be enough to seal a 49ers win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Prediction
The San Francisco 49ers are going to defeat the Dallas Cowboys in this game and cover the spread. I believe this is a bad matchup for Dallas. They can not stop the run and still without Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, Jordan Mason should dominate this game. Yes, the Cowboys can move the ball on the 49ers’ defense, but this offense will be watching the majority of the game from the sideline. Brock Purdy will be his normal efficient self and the 49ers will end this game 4-4 and sit 1st or 2nd in the NFC West.
Final Pick
San Francisco 49ers -3.5 (-118)
