After scoring three first half touchdowns, the Cowboys cruise to an easy victory over the 49ers…at least according to Madden. The popular video game, Madden 12, gives us a look a what might happen in tomorrow’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers in a simulation.

First, the set up of the game itself. All of the rosters were updated through Madden Online and we used the real-life final injury reports from both teams. Any players listed as probable or questionable were played. Any player listed as doubtful or out were benched. Also, the quarter length was set to 10 minutes. (When simmed at 15 mins., the stats we’re blow way out of proportion)

Predictions for the Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers game

We’re starting a new segment this week. We are asking all of The Landry Hat writers to submit their predictions for the upcoming game and their reasons why. This week, we asked our experts for their opinion on the Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers game.

Steven Mullenax, Editor & Head Writer: The 49ers win last week against the Seahawks was more about special teams then anything else. Both offenses looked terrible. The Cowboys offense will not have that same problem, even without Dez Bryant (questionable). Despite the various injuries the Cowboys have suffered, I still think their offensive firepower is enough to get it done against the 49ers. Cowboys over the 49ers, 37-24.

Seth Jones, Staff Writer: Neither team will win. The 49ers will simply lose. The Cowboys will complain that they still deserve the “W” in the win column, so the NFL will be merciful and grant Dallas credit for the victory. 26-10, Cowboys.
