The Dallas Cowboys bounced back after a disappointing loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 by dismantling Mac Jones and the New England Patriots on Sunday.
The Cowboys' defense caused Jones to make some truly puzzling decisions, which forced the Pats to bench their starting QB. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense also go on track, which is a good sign following their awful performance against the Cards.
The Niners continue to roll.
Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and Co. have steamrolled the competition to remain one of two undefeated teams in the NFL. CMC hit pay dirt four times in the Niners’ Week 4 win over the Cardinals.
They have their hardest test on SNF this week with the Cowboys’ aggressive defense coming to town.
Expect the 49ers to continue their winning ways, but the Cowboys getting 3.5 points feels like something a bettor should take. If that dropped to three points, then we’d take the Niners, but that extra half-point could be big.
