CBS picking Dallas to lose only favored team picked to lose

[CouchCoach]

The Niners are that "team no one wants to play", which is patently absurd in the most testosterone driven sport in this country.

Have you really ever thought about what qualifies any of these people to be football handicappers? They're all like weather forecasters, we expect them to be wrong at least 25% of the time.

Our fans have seen 25 years of futility, regardless of the reason.

49ers fans have seen 26.

 

[KJJ]

49ers fans have seen 26.

It hasn’t been as lean for them. They’ve been to a couple of Super Bowls the past decade. The Cowboys haven’t even gotten past the divisional round in 26 years.

 

[fredp22]

feel good about our chances and think we win convincingly.
I like the way MM used last week as a scrimmage game. It was a good way for Dak to get his timing down. MM knew he was facing third string but used the game for what it was keeping Dak in 3 qtrs to get him in a groove throwing to 8 different receivers. Did same for Zeke giving him a full day.
We are a passing team-SF is weak in secondary. Parsons/Diggs back. I just feel good about this game

 

[BourbonBalz]

Or is it possible the Cowboys have the most difficult matchup in WC round for a home team?

Maybe the homers can’t handle the truth.

There’s several tough matchups. Cards/Rams. Bengals/Raiders. Bills/Pats. I’d say those are as evenly matched as our game.

Buffalo who got beat by the same team their playing this weekend,that theory holds no water !

But those first 2 are 4/5 seeds. They’re supposed to be more evenly matched.

Cowboys have the lowest spread in any game in WC round.

And why handicappers have confirmed what analysts are saying. Cowboys drew toughest matchup in WC round.

 

[Shannon1]

well lets look at the games.

Bucs vs Eagles who in their right mind could possibly pick Eagles?
Chiefs vs Steelers? See above
Bengals vs Raiders Bengals already handily beat Raiders, who could possibly pick Raiders?
Buffalo handily beatthe Pats at home a few weeks ago. The first game which the bills lost in had 50moh winds that clearly impacted that game. Again, foolish to pick Pats
Rams vs Cards... Cards have lost 4 of last 5 games. Including last week in a game they really needed against a weak Seahawks team. Why would anyone pick Az?

Leaves us with Niners Cowboys. Cowboys have not played great the last 6 weeks. Niners , since getting somewhat healthy have been playing very good. So IMO, this really is basically a pick em game. And since they have picked the favorite in every game, they said wth, lets pick the under dog.

5-1 scored 40 or more twice yea I guess that’s playing bad !

 

[CATCH17]

There are a lot of 49ers fans in the media for some reason - and Cowboys haters.

Or it’s just a bad matchup for Dallas.

No worries. Playing our starters last Saturday will give us the momentum we need.

 

[Hardline]

They are expecting the Cowboys to do Cowboys things.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Let's be real, CBS is covering the game. It's clickbait to drive ratings.

 

[visionary]

I LOVE IT!! Keep the hate!!, The Hate fuels this team!!

LOL

 

[Mr_437]

The media has to have an upset pick, and the 49ers had an exciting game to get in. Let's see whose bandwagon they jump on next week after the Cowboys shut down their popular pick.

 

[GroundZero1970]

What the over/under on how many times we hear about "the catch" this week?

 

[Avery]

I guess it's good that we actually play football games vs. just talk about them.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

If you didn't bet the house on the Cowboys to win then you have no right to be mad about the media picking the 49ers.

Because you're not confident in the Cowboys either.

Just when I think you couldn't get any dumber, you totally redeem yourself

 

[BermyStar]

The media has to come in and go out with the tide. The 49ers epic comeback almost dictated they'd receive a ton of love this week.

 

[unsportsmanlikeconduct]

This is great...cowboys players are certainly hearing and reading how they are the less physical team and are going to get beat....I expect them to come out nasty nasty...probably will even see a few unsportsmanlike penalties too...

I approve of this message! LOL

 

[johneric8]

Back in 2016 when we surprised everyone, our boys believed the hype and didn't get it done... There have been lots of ups and downs since then and they now realize they have to earn it.. The media all saying we aren't tough enough in my opinion is all the fuel this team needs to lay down an *** whopping...

If I'm Big Mike, I'm making sure that the team understands that everyone is betting against them and saying we're all flash and no dash... You can't underestimate the motivation a lack of respect or belief can have on a football team.. I also have to wonder if Big Mike is saving some macheesmo for the post season!!!

 

[Jipper]

I approve of this message! LOL

Ha shocker with your sn!!!
