San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys Betting Analysis
The Dallas Cowboys travel to Levi Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers in NFC Divisional Playoffs on Sunday night. The 49ers dominated in the second half to earn a 41-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round.
The Dallas Cowboys crushed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-14 in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the score reflects.
This is a rematch of a Wild Card from last season where San Francisco prevailed 23-17 over Dallas. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 PM EST/3:30 PST from Santa Clara, CA.
49ers Purdy Season Continues
The San Francisco 49ers have now won 11 straight games despite losing two starting quarterbacks to injury during the course of the regular season.
Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has big a big part of that and he continued to shine last week with 332 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle. The 49ers produced 505 total yards, 181 of those yards on the ground.
New Niners addition, Christian McCaffrey paced the team’s rushing attack with 15 carries for 119 yards while catching two passes for 17 yards and a touchdown. Deebo Samuel was San Fran’s top receiver, catching 6 of 9 targets for 133 yards.
This Niners defense is something special as they finished the regular season #1 in points and yards allowed. They held the Seahawks to only 228 passing yards and 104 rushing yards on the day.
Wide receiver Jaquan Jennings is listed as questionable with an ankle injury while quarterback Jimmy Garoppola remains out a foot injury.
Cowboys Can’t Be Satisfied
The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a dominant post-season victory over Tom Brady & company on Monday night.
Dallas produced 425 yards of total offense, 128 of those yards were on the ground. Dak Prescott led the way with 305 passing yards and four touchdowns. Tight end Dalton Schultz was his go-to guy with 95 yards and two touchdowns on 8 targets.
Tony Pollard ran for 77 yards after a 1000+ yard nine touchdown season. The Cowboys defense allowed 334 passing yards but only 52 rushing yards as Tom Brady set a post-season record with 66 pass attempts.
The only real problem in the game was kicker Brett Maher missing the PAT on the team’s first four touchdowns. Dallas has two key defenders questionable with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and safety Jayron Kearse both nursing injuries.
San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys Player Prop Prediction
The San Francisco 49ers enter this contest as 4 point home favorites with a total set at 46. This is a classic NFC playoff matchup between two teams that are very familiar with one and other.
We strongly considered making Brock Purdy O1.5 touchdown passes the play last week and he would have cashed easily with three TD passes. Purdy has now thrown 2+ touchdown passes in each and every one of his seven starts with three in the last two games.
The Cowboys do have a dominant defense, but it’s easier to get at them through the air as they allowed 23 touchdown passes and only 9 rushing touchdowns.
Brady threw for two touchdowns last week against Dallas despite having to run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I gave a hard look at a Christian McCaffrey touchdown prop, but the -150 odds make it tough to back. Let’s rock with Purdy to throw two TD passes again in this one.
