Result: Win
Point Spread: -3.50 | -109.00 San Francisco (Home)
Result: Win
If home field is worth 3 points then the oddsmaker is saying San Francisco is barely better than Dallas.
I disagree. In my view, the 49ers are the best team in football right now and it's not that close.
These teams have current history. The 49ers have eliminated the Cowboys in the postseason each of the past two seasons winning, 19-12 last season and 23-17 two seasons ago. I don't expect this game to be that close.
The 49ers have been ridiculously dominant at Levi's Stadium covering 15 of their last 17 games there. All but three of those victories came by double-digits. San Francisco has won by at least two TD's in eight of Brock Purdy's nine home starts. Christian McCaffrey would get my MVP vote right now having gained 100 yards from scrimmage and scored at least one TD in all four of the 49ers' games.
The Cowboys are a good team, but not great like the 49ers. Dallas lost to the Cardinals two weeks ago, 28-16. The 49ers just whipped the Cardinals, 35-16, this past Sunday.
The 49ers were 5-for-5 scoring TD's inside the red zone against Arizona. The Cowboys have red zone issues scoring only seven TD's in 19 trips inside the red zone. The Cowboys have fatten up their scoring statistics by getting three TD's from their defense/special teams.
Dallas' brain trust of Brian Scottenheimer and increased input from Mike McCarthy isn't trustworthy against this caliber of defense. The Cowboys were better off when they had Kellen Moore as their offensive coordinator last year.
