Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers: Both teams fail to meet the expectations
The Dallas Cowboys are visiting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
Can the Cowboys stay perfect on the road?
The Dallas Cowboys are third in the NFC East with a 3-3 record, including a perfect 3-0 on the road. After winning back-to-back games against the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys were blown away in the last one, losing 47-9 to the Detroit Lions. Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in the Cowboys’ worst home loss since 1988, who became the first team since at least 2000 to trail by 14 or more points at halftime in four consecutive games on their home field. Prescott was 17 of 33 for the game and finished with 178 yards as the Cowboys did not have a single touchdown.
Can the Niners save the season?
The San Francisco 49ers are at the bottom of the NFC West with a 3-4 record. They are coming off a 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl they lost in overtime. Brock went 17 for 31 for 212 yards with two TD runs and three interceptions. Niners rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall made his debut exactly 50 days after being shot in the chest during a robbery attempt in San Francisco.
Betting Trends
The 49ers are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games overall, 8-1 SU in their last 9 games against teams from the NFC East, and 1-5 SU in their last 6 games played in October.

San Francisco has played over the total point line in 6 of their last 9 games overall, 9 of their last 13 games against Dallas, and 4 of their last 6 home games against the Cowboys. Dallas is 4-1 SU in their last 5 games on the road. They are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams from the NFC and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games played in October. The Cowboys have played over the total point line in 6 of their last 8 games overall, 4 of their last 6 road games against the Niners, and 4 of their last 5 games against teams from the NFC.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a bye week, hoping to forget about the last game they were absolutely dominated by the Lions. It is interesting to see that the Cowboys have yet to win a home game this season while they are perfect on the road. Dak Prescott is expected to bounce back after failing to create any touchdowns in his last performance. He will probably do that in San Francisco, but it is questionable if that would be enough to beat the Niners, who have a lot to make up for. Brock Purdy is also coming off his worst performance of the week and is ready for the challenge. The Niners are slowly but surely regrouping and picking up the level of their game. They won the last three games against Dallas, and since they have no room for more mistakes, we go with the Niners to win this one.
