Prediction: Finally, the Dallas Cowboys pass defense gets a break from defending game breaking receivers like Odell Beckham Jr., DeSean Jackson, and Alshon Jeffery.
San Francisco’s leading receiver Jeremy Kerley has 114 yards all season, which would be 5th best on the Dallas roster. Their passing offense (177.3 ypg) is the worst in the NFL.
The 49ers 11th ranked rushing offense (116.7 ypg) is formidable, though Dallas’ 10th ranked run defense only allows 89.3 ypg.
Not only will Dallas finally dominate an opposing offense, they’ll have a solid day both running and passing on offense.
San Francisco held the awful Rams offense to 183 yards in the opener. Since they’ve allowed 947 total yards and 83 points to Carolina and Seattle.
Even if Dez Bryant or Tyron Smith don’t see a down, Dallas has no business playing a close game with San Francisco.
Overconfidence can lead to a trap game. Yet with a rookie QB and RB fueling the offense and a defense aching for a dominant performance…Dallas stays aggressive and handles business on the road.
Final Score: Dallas Cowboys 33, San Francisco 49ers 16
