4* Free Week 8 NFL Betting Prediction: Dallas +4.5
The line is currently sitting with San Francisco as a 4.5-point favorite, but here’s where it gets fun: the Niners are just 2-3 against the spread (ATS) as favorites in their last five games. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have been road warriors, going 4-1 straight up in their last five away games, and they thrive in October—hitting an impressive 12-3 ATS in their past 15.
The 49ers, on the other hand, have struggled against the number, covering just 3 of their last 11 games. Keep an eye on those injuries too—San Francisco is likely missing some key weapons (watch status of Deebo, and Jennings, Aiyuk is OUT.)
Let’s also not forget Brock Purdy’s meltdown last week with three picks and a rating that was downright ugly (36.7). Dak Prescott and the Cowboys need to shake off that Week 5 beatdown and come in hot, especially with the points on their side.
For this week eight matchup between the 49ers and Cowboys, we have the Cowboys coming out on top by a score of 23-20. With the 49ers currently sitting as 4.5-point favorites at home, we are going against the spread and taking the Cowboys to cover as road underdogs.
Why? Purdy hasn’t looked himself, and now the 49ers are going to try to win this game with a bunch of no-names on offense. This is a get right game for the Cowboys on SNF. If Dallas can get after Purdy early, it could spell trouble for San Fran.
As for an over/under pick, with the line sitting at 46.5 points, we like the under, projecting a combined score of 43.
Call it a last second FG for the win.
It’s setting up to be an electric game, and there’s no better place for sharp bettors to find some edge in what might be a closer showdown than the lines suggest.
