Prediction: The Dallas Cowboys most likely being without wide receiver Dez Bryant will make it easier for the San Francisco 49ers to focus on stopping the Dallas running attack.

Expect to see plenty of plays where eight men or more are in the box for the 49ers defense. One good thing about that expectation is that there will be plenty of one on one opportunities for outside receivers and play action should help suck the defense in to give plenty of downfield chances.

Cole Beasley continues his emergence as Dak Prescott’s safety valve while adding five or six catches for around 80 yards.

Terrance Williams has his breakout game of the year- going for 100 receiving yards and Brice Butler catches a touchdown pass.

Next: Dallas Cowboys must avoid trap, attack overmatched 49ers

Final Score: Dallas Cowboys 27, San Francisco 49ers 20
