Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers Betting Preview
In Week 5, the Dallas Cowboys hit the road to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Sunday Night Football showdown.
The Cowboys currently boast a 3-1 record for the season, following an impressive victory over the New England Patriots in their last outing. Their only setback came at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals. In the NFC East standings, the Cowboys occupy the second spot.
Conversely, the San Francisco 49ers are riding high with an unblemished 4-0 record, having convincingly defeated the Arizona Cardinals in their most recent game.
The San Francisco 49ers are -3.5 in this game, and the total is 44.5 points.
Dallas Ready for the Test
The Dallas Cowboys enter this game as the top-ranked defensive team in the NFL, and they’ll need that defensive prowess against the high-octane offense of the 49ers. Offensively, the Cowboys have shown strength in their passing and rushing game, averaging 218 passing yards and 141.3 rushing yards per game.
Dak Prescott has thrown four touchdowns in four games, with CeeDee Lamb emerging as his primary target. Lamb’s stats reveal 23 receptions thus far. Tony Pollard has taken the reins as the lead running back after the off-season departure of Ezekiel Elliott. The Cowboys have scored 30 points or more in three of their first four games.
Following this matchup, Dallas faces the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football next week before heading into their bye week.
49ers Off to Red Hot Start
The San Francisco 49ers, a team that reached the NFC Title game last season, seem poised for a strong repeat performance this season. They and the Eagles are the only remaining undefeated teams in the league.
San Francisco has consistently scored 30 or more points in each of their first four games. Their stats indicate they score an impressive 31.3 points per game (third in the league) while allowing just 14.5 points per game (also third).
The 49ers boast the NFL’s third-best rushing attack, led by the exceptional Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey has tallied six rushing touchdowns this season, including an impressive four in the last game. Brandon Aiyuk has emerged as the top receiver for San Francisco with 17 receptions, 320 yards, and two touchdowns.
The 49ers have their third consecutive home game here and will then embark on a two-week road trip, with matchups against the Cleveland Browns and the Minnesota Vikings.
49ers Stay Unbeaten
While this promises to be an exciting game, we predict the San Francisco 49ers will come out on top. Their potent running game and solid defensive play should be the determining factors.
Our betting prediction for this matchup is a 31-27 victory for the San Francisco 49ers over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Christian McCaffrey continues to be too much for the Dallas defense to slow down, and Purdy stays strong!
We hope you enjoy the Sunday Night Football game of the week. Best of luck, and enjoy!
