SNF Showdown – Week 5 – Cowboys/Niners

Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers

Spread:   Niners -3.5

Total:  45

 

GAME THEORY PREDICTION

The Cowboys really struggled in the playoff meeting a year ago to move the ball against a very familiar San Francisco defense and I would be shocked to see much of a change here tonight.  This is the 49ers third straight home game, something that’s a little unusual this early in the season and the defense is looking stronger and stronger each week.  Granted, playing the Giants on TNF and then the Cardinals doesn’t hurt that perception much.  But still, I lean towards the under, bringing into play both kickers and even taking a shot on a defense in this game.  We’ll also want to prioritize receptions as much as possible so lean there with the PPR scoring on DK.
