Niners 4.5 point favorites

[Risen Star]

Risen was all over TB too

He was waiting all year for me to get one wrong.

 

[slick325]

They deserve to be favored. They are playing good ball and have a long winning streak going. They have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball.

Dallas needs to play a clean game in all three phases and get pressure on a poised rookie at QB.

 

[bigE79]

I'll take that all day and to cover at that.

 

[charron]

Good. Cowboys play better as underdogs, plus revenge game.

 

[Dallasfann]

Risen was all over TB too

He hasn't favored the Cowboys in 1 game. He's one of those trolls that doesn't bother me. Like...I don't think he really cares if the Cowboys win or lose and I think he's even admitted it before. He's kind of like a class clown. Funny at times other times annoying but doesn't mean much harm.

 

[DallasInDC]

This is good news.

 

[jazzcat22]

Dallas wins by 17.

 

[Mannix]

Maybe I’m just paranoid, but the thought just crept into my mind that the league wanted Dallas VS SF @ SF 30 years later…but unlike tonite, do not look for the refs to swallow their whistles…they will be through with us won’t care about doing us any favors.

 

[Bobhaze]

Good. This team needs a chip.

 

[Maverick84]

Dallas wins by 17.

okay and what if we win by 16?

will you delete your account? @MountaineerCowboy wants to know

put your account where your mouth is @jazzcat22

The Niners are playing the best football of any team presently but Dallas has more talent than them. If Dallas plays like they did tonight I think the Cowboys will beat them.

Disagree on talent. They have more.

But: if SF can't get to the QB- they can absolutely be had. We have the tools to beat this team.

I think we get it done. I really do.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

If they're taking key injuries in account (Kearse for sure and whoever else), then I'm not sure I disagree.

 

[Mr_437]

I like it.

 

[GridironGreat]

49ers played an easy schedule. Their toughest games were against the Chiefs (loss), Chargers (win 22-16) and the Dolphins. (Win)

They’ll be playing the 2nd best team they’ve played all year. We’ve played several good teams and a bit tougher of a schedule than them.

Definitely not gonna count us out.

Don’t get me wrong I think they have very good talent but I think we edge them out.
Qb- Boys
RB-Niners
OL- slight edge to the Cowboys
TE- Niners
Wr- slight edge to Niners only because of Debo who is a beast but one can put him at RB
DL- Niners, Dlawrence needs to step it up
LB- Cowboys
CB- slight edge to the Cowboys
Safeties- Cowboys although Ward is a good one
Special teams- Niners after tonight performance by Maher
Just my opinion

As they say on Wall Street "The trend is your friend, until the end when it bends".

Dallas has been in a "channel" for nearly 30 years.
27 years since they won a divisional game
30 years since they won a playoff game on the road against a team with a winning record.

This is very similar to the Philadelphia Eagles who from 1981 - 2000 did not have a divisional playoff win (Wild Card only).
Under those crappy coachs (Buddy Ryan, Rich Kotite, Ray Rhodes) The Eagles never did anything past a wild card win.

It wasn't until Andy Reid changed that the trend broke and then the Eagles became a serious contender many times over the next two decades.

It would be nice to see McCarthy to just break the damn trend and get Dallas out of this wild card " channel"

 

[GMO415]

Purdy is about to show why he was drafted dead last, when he faces a real pass rush.

 

[Creeper]

The 49ers are all the rage right now but Seattle showed they are vulnerable. But Seattle is nowhere near as good as Dallas, on offense or defense.

But as always, the outcome of the game depends on Dak.

Your forgetting one important element. Coaching staff. I think that edge goes to the Niners. Ironic both teams have a coach that was part of the staff that blew the biggest lead in Super Bowl History Maybe I'm wrong but right now I'd take Shanahan over McCarthy without thinking twice.

I didn’t forget about it, I just didn’t want to mention it because Niners coaching staff is so much better than ours and there is no debate about it.
