Cowboys vs 49ers Prediction
The current betting odds have the 49ers listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 49ers haven't looked good in their games this season with their 3-4 record overall. They haven't looked like the same team as last season with all of the injuries they have been dealing with and they are coming off another loss in their last one, losing to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl rematch. That was another tough loss to the Chiefs for them to swallow, but they will be looking to bounce back at home with a better performance and they are getting a team they have had some success against in recent years. The Cowboys haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-3 record overall. They are coming out of their bye week, but their last game was a blow out loss at home to the Lions 47-9. The Cowboys were also a much better team last season and they just haven't looked the same this year on both offense and defense. They are also dealing with some key injuries themselves so this will be a tough game for them on the road against a 49ers team that has gotten the better of them in a lot of their meetings lately. The 49ers are going to be desperate for a get right game after losing last week, especially now that they are at the bottom of the NFC West, and they have looked a lot better in their home games anyway. The best way to place a bet here is on the 49ers to cover the spread in this game.
