San Francisco 49ers Form
San Francisco go into this matchup having rebounded from their first defeat of the season, improving to 7-1.
The 49ers opened the campaign with a 27-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia.
They backed that up at home as they beat Miami 35-13, Arizona 36-30 and Denver 24-14, before heading out on the road to down Seattle, 32-29.
San Francisco made it six-in-a-row with a 23-17 victory against Washington, only to see their perfect start finally end with a 29-20 loss in Atlanta.
The 49ers issued an immediate response though, as they returned from the bye week to beat Las Vegas, 38-17.
Dallas Cowboys Form
Dallas return home looking to build on last weekend’s win in Indianapolis, which improved their record to 4-5.
The Cowboys made a slow start to the season as they sandwiched a 37-20 win over Washington with defeats to the New York Giants, 28-20, and Baltimore, 34-31.
They rallied beat Houston 34-30 on the road, but failed to follow up that victory over the next couple of weeks as they lost 24-16 to Tampa Bay and 23-13 in Green Bay.
Dallas avoided a third straight defeat, winning 38-21 at Philadelphia, only to then lose 33-30 in overtime when they hosted Arizona.
The Cowboys rebounded on the road, although they made hard work of a 27-23 victory against Indianapolis.
Verdict
Dallas’ defense continues to be a major headache for them, and it is likely to be their Achilles heel against Brock Purdy and the 49ers.
We expect San Francisco to register their eighth win of the season and cover in the process.
