49ers vs. Cowboys Preview: Picks, Odds and Analysis

The 49ers head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. The 49ers here looking to improve to 8-1, the class of the NFC right now, even through all the injuries like we mentioned with Dr. Chow. They do bring in Keenan Allen to bolster this offense this week against a Cowboys team for the first time in what feels like a long time is a dog in a game. And at home, they're catching four and a half, rightfully so. They're playing the team that has performed, I mean, 10 times, 20 times better. Given their given schedule up until this point in the San Francisco 49ers, Brock Purdy looking to continue his MVP case. He's in the top three in MVP odds right now alongside Josh Allen, I believe Trevor Lawrence. This is a game where I think if the Niners flex their muscle, it's going to be really hard to make a strong case for anyone else coming out of the NFC. Joe, I just don't see it. This is a tough spot on the road. Yeah, it absolutely is. And it's very hard to invest or trust the Cowboys. I think they've established that in 2026. So Keenan Allen, the new piece, how he works in, I think is still TBD. He's a veteran, but at the same time, coming into a situation and playing in the same week is difficult. how much he's going to be on the field. I would still look at Jordan walk-ins. You probably get some small props on him and go the over there. I do think he's going to continue to work in this offense. You'll see Marcus Robinson as well. I like the 49er side of this game. They are just the better team all the way around and defensively, the Cowboys continue to not be able to get out of their own way. And I know they have pickings healthy for this game and everybody's on the field, but that's still not been enough for the Dallas Cowboys, unfortunately. So I like the 49ers, but I still have some real concerns about the 49ers going deep. In the playoffs, based upon the age of this roster, of getting to December and January and seeing what it actually looks like at the end. That total is interesting to me. 55 and a half. It does lead me to believe that the Cowboys are going to stay in this game. Because if San Francisco goes with their ideal game plan, if this game follows their ideal game plan, I don't see them allowing this Dallas team to get over 24 points. Even with the injuries the defenses face for San Francisco, this is a game I think they want to control the pace, and I don't think that's a game they want to see getting over 55.5 points. So this wouldn't surprise me if it's a game that correlates. If you like the over, maybe look at the Cowboys to cover the 4.5. If you like the under, maybe look at laying the points with San Francisco as well.
