Welcome to week 10, and the game that everyone has already written the Dallas Cowboys off for a loss at home against the 49ers this week, and I agree.
Still, every week is different, and we saw the 49ers lose to the Atlanta Falcons just two weeks ago, and do we really think they are a good team? No.
Either way, this game is going to be a feast for the 49ers offense against the Cowboys defense, which means the Cowboys’ offense just needs not to be cute and just be aggressive from the opening kick-off. Let’s take a look at these game lines.
Am I expecting that to happen? Not a chance in hell.

Bad History
As we all know, there are a few teams that the Dallas Cowboys cannot beat anybody, no matter how good or bad they are.
The Packers, Cardinals and the 49ers, and here we are again, sitting at 4-5. They are probably the best team in the NFC, maybe even the NFL in the 49ers.
Dallas has lost the last four meetings against the 49ers, and it has just become a cultural thing with this team. They are never prepared for big games. We have seen it again this season. Losing games they should win and not being ready to play against the Packers or the Colts.
The Dallas Cowboys offense will simply have to be nearly flawless if they have any chance, because this defense couldn’t stop three backup quarterbacks the last three weeks. How do you think Brock Purdy and CMC are going to fair?
Up to this point, the over 55.5 is the highest point total of the season among any team and that might hit in the first half. I am being honest.
The Cowboys’ defense has given no reason for us to think they will even force one punt in this game, and as for the Dallas offense, they are in a weird spot.
I am stuck between trusting them and not understanding the game plan. Brandon Aubrey has been bad this year, so maybe the head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, will stop settling for 55–60-yard field goals and be aggressive for once in his life, because they are going to need at least 40 to win this game. That would be my honest guess.
I am clearly not going to pick the Cowboys to win this game, nor do I even think it is going to be close after the first half, but it would be just a typical Cowboys culture to win this game and get people talking about them again, only to lose to the Titans next week.
Either way, I expect the 49ers to do whatever they want against the Cowboys defense, and as for the Cowboys offense, just stop being so cute and be aggressive. That is the only chance you have to even stay in this game.
Hopefully Goerge Pickens will be back, but Jake Ferguson is going to be out for a month, so Brev-Spann Ford is going to need to step up and stop the holding calls.
CB PJ Locke (concussion) won’t be available Sunday vs. the 49ers.
WR George Pickens (hamstring) and CB Joey Porter Jr. (foot) will go through the same process as last week before
It feels nearly impossible to predict this score, but my guess is that the over 55.5 will hit very easily, and the Cowboys will be on the wrong side of history once again and lose their fifth straight game to the 49ers.
I will take the 49rs to win this game 38-21, and it won’t really be close after the first quater or so. I hope I am wrong, and maybe this team will show us some fight at home with the season on life and get a season-changing win, but who am I kidding? I have been a fan for my 30 years of life, but that has never happened.
