The San Francsco 49ers are 0-6 on the season, but each of their last five have been determined by three points or less and they've covered the spread in four of those games.

They could easily have beaten the Redskins at Washington last week, and rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard earned a start here with a fine performance under center after replacing Brian Hoyer. Carlos Hyde added two rushing touchdowns and is tied for third in the NFL with four rushing touchdowns.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a bye week, but they've dropped back-to-back games and three of their last four, surrendering 35 points or more in each defeat.

This will be the Niners first home game since Sept. 21, so you better believe they'll be fired up Sunday afternoon.

49ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NFC. Cowboys are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC.

My selection is an 10* play on San Francisco 49ers.
