I'm not expecting a shootout. Instead, I'm looking for more of a cagey match as these teams feel each other out and play the long game for what both will expect to be the first of two meetings. I don't see a ton of big plays or scoring.

It honestly wouldn't stun me if one side just "solved" the other and we end up with a blowout and one offense laying a bit of a goose egg, but that probably hits the under, too.

I see a script similar to the playoff games, with stalled trips leading to field goals and a close game without much scoring that comes down to Dak Prescott or Brock Purdy making the plays late.

The line feels right, but I like the under.

I hate this number, but I’ll suck it up and just take it.

I was hoping all week the Dallas money would come in and push this down to 49ers -3. Looks like we’ll never get there.

Everyone loves the 49ers here. I wanted to come on here and tell you all the reason why you should take Dallas. I can’t find a single one. The 49ers are playing like the best team in football.

If we lose this bet, it’s probably because Brock Purdy finally had a bad game. Maybe Kyle Shanahan got outcoached by Mike McCarthy. Maybe the Cowboys defense, who can’t stop the run, somehow figured out how to stop Christian McCaffrey. Or Dak Prescott showed up and played well in a big time game.
Not gonna let the hook and the public scare me off of this one. It’s the best game of the year so far and I’m going with the home chalk.

I doubt it’ll get there, but I’d still take 49ers at -4.
