Everyone keeps pointing to the SF Run Game vs. Cowboys Run defense as the reason this matchup works in their favor. And that's not wrong - I expect SF to get points and make this a game. Especially if they can limit TurnOvers.
But i have YET to see how the Cowboys Passing attack can really match up well to the SF defense. The Passing attack struggled when teams mix and hide coverage and make Dak second guess or hold on his reads. That's not SF's forte - they are a zone heavy team that just wants to play coverage and rush 4. And Dak is happy to attack that when he understands what they are trying to do.
So yeah, I expect SF to score and run well. But I expect the COwboys offense to score along with them. Which leads to turnovers - and I trust SF to turn it over more than Dallas, leading to an extra possession or two. Favor = Cowboys.
Excellent post, I think you're right. If we can jump on them early I believe we can put them away with a 2 score game. Regardless, even if we do getting a little padding it will continue to be a hard fought game until clock hits zero.
