The Cowboys come into the game as underdogs, with a +170 moneyline and a +4 point spread, indicating a tight contest. The 49ers, favored at home, carry a -200 moneyline. The total is set at 45.5, with trends suggesting a potential high-scoring affair, aligning with both teams’ recent performances.
Dak Prescott QB vs. Brock Purdy QB
It has been an up-and-down season for Dak Prescott, who has shown some fortitude. In the last six games, the quarterback has achieved 1,602 passing yards and a 63.4% completion rate as he tries to make a case for himself, having eight touchdowns and six interceptions to his name. His poise and an 85.5 passer rating help define his game. Nevertheless, his weaknesses, such as the 16 times he has been sacked, might be how the 49ers try to exploit him.
Brock Purdy has managed to potentially outshine Dak with a completion rate of 63.9% and a passer rating slightly premium at 91.2. His 1841 passing yards and nine touchdowns also boost his credentials as he can dig defenses with his accurate arm. In this respect, seeing Brock Purdy throwing fewer passes and interceptions conjures up the thought that he might be able to handle the pressure of this game better.
Ground and Air Attack: Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys’ run game has been mediocre at best, with Rico Dowdle getting only 41 rushing yards per game and no scoring to his name. Such a poor showing puts more pressure on Prescott and the receivers on the squad. One of the few positives has been CeeDee Lamb, who has received 467 yards and scored two touchdowns on 32 catches. It will be important for him to generate a lot of yardage after the catch since that is the only way Dallas will be able to open up the 49ers’ defense for scoring chances.
Ground and Air Attack: San Francisco 49ers
Contrastingly, the 49ers’ Jordan Mason has been prolific, amassing 667 rushing yards and three touchdowns, providing San Francisco with a solid ground threat. This complements the air threat posed by George Kittle, who has caught 34 passes for 375 yards and five touchdowns. The dual-threat capability of Mason and Kittle offers San Francisco a balanced offensive approach that could exploit the Cowboys’ defensive vulnerabilities.
