Why Bet on the 49ers?

The San Francisco 49ers come into this match as the NFC West leaders, as they are on a steamrolling 4-win streak after beating the Steelers, Rams, Giants, and Cardinals back to back.

They are coming off a 35-16 win against the Arizona Cardinals in their fourth game of the 2023 NFL season. The team stayed undefeated as a 14-point favorite.

RB Christian McCaffrey had a career-high 4 TDs. QB Brock Purdy hit 20 of 21 passes for 283 yards and had 2 TDs. His 95% completion percentage vs. Arizona set a franchise record.

Why Bet on the Cowboys?

The Dallas Cowboys are currently the NFC East’s second place, as they ran through the Giants and the Jets, before an upsetting loss to the Cardinals, but they managed to steamroll the Patriots and pick the pace back up recently. They are coming off a 38-3 win against New England.

Dallas routed the Patriots 38-3 as 6-point favorites on Sunday as QB Dak Prescott completed 28 of 34 passes for 261 yards and 1 TD. But it was the Dallas defense that took the game over.

The Cowboys’ defensive unit scored TDs on a fumble return and an interception while forcing 3 turnovers and 2 sacks.

49ers vs. Cowboys Final Betting Analysis:

This game will probably come down to which team wins the ground battle. In this case, that will probably be San Francisco. The Cowboys ranked dead last in the league in defense last year, 27th against the run, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be much better this season. 

As much as Dallas has said it remembers the last two times it has faced the Niners, San Francisco is the more balanced and explosive team. Christian McCaffrey’s speed is untouchable and the Cowboys struggled against the rush.

Red zone inefficiency is one thing against weaker opponents, but the Cowboys can’t leave points on the field against the 49ers, or they will pay a big price.

Go for a straight win for the San Francisco 49ers in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at -184, you will gain $54 for a total payout of $154
