2. San Francisco at Dallas
LINE: San Francisco -3
ATS PICK: San Francisco
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
This is taking a chance that the line is artificially off because of the schedules. Actually, it’s more like the line is an overreaction.
San Francisco is sputtering, but it’s having problems with the strong defenses. It could’t get the O going over the last few weeks, and there’s a massive turnover problem. The Niners have given it up two times or more in each of the last seven games and in nine of the last ten.
However, the O had problems against Washington, and Buffalo, and the Rams, and the Saints, and the Packers. All five fo those teams are nasty defensively.
Dallas isn’t.
The public usually likes Dallas no matter what, and it certainly helped to play a dead Cincinnati last week. Dallas wins 30-7, Washington can’t do anything right offensive, Dallas is back at home after a long stretch of road games over the last two months …
Dallas still can’t play any defense.
Finally, after dealing with nasty defenses for almost the entire season, the San Francisco ground game gets to roll. The Cowboys can’t stop the run, the Niners are going to simplify the game plan to pound away and pound some more, and the three points being given up shouldn’t be that big a deal.
