San Francisco 49ers (7-1) @ Dallas Cowboys (4-5)
Sunday, November 15, 4:25 PM ET
Nobody is going to be under any illusion or spell after the Dallas Cowboys beat the Indianapolis Colts in a game that was way too “back and forth” for comfort.
Obviously, the Colts still get paid to play. But with all of the distractions and issues that team has going on, the Cowboys struggled with them a little too much.
Dallas is entering a portion of the season where we’re really going to find out what this team is made of. And wouldn’t it be hilarious of this same Cowboys team that lost to Jalon Daniels and the Buccaneers earlier this season could go out in Week 10 and beat the mighty San Francisco 49ers?
Nothing is impossible in the NFL.
The 49ers are obviously dealing with plenty of injuries on their roster, and they’re going to be going up against a Dallas offense that is absolutely capable of pulling off the improbable. And the oddsmakers don’t seem to think it’s really all that improbable.
The Cowboys are 3.5-point underdogs at home here (where they are 1-3 so far this season), and that feels relatively low considering just how good the 49ers have been this season, and just how unpredictable the Cowboys have been.
And the “unpredictable” factor with the Cowboys is what makes this game pick really interesting. Part of me thinks, “If the Falcons can do it…”
Sometimes, you’ve got to take risks in NFL picks. This is one of those games where I’ll inexplicably stick my neck out there for the Cowboys.
Prediction: Cowboys win 30-27
