The Dallas Cowboys have been waiting nine months for this opportunity. While the players and possibly the coaching staff might not have known, the rematch of the 2022 season’s divisional game was destined to happen. Thanks to the three-year rotation of intra-conference schedules, the Cowboys were going to head to the Bay no matter what.
But that doesn’t take away from the relevance of the matchup. Dallas needs this game. A loss drops them essentially three games behind the 49ers in the race for home-field advantage in the NFC. The Cowboys would need to finish ahead of San Francisco in the standings to avoid a potential road playoff matchup, so even though it’s Week 5 this is important. How confident are we they can pull off the upset.
The staff of Cowboys Wire got together and looked to predict the final score and the storyline that will be the narrative after it’s over. With a guest appearance from Niners Wire’s managing editor Kyle Madson, here’s how we think it will unfold.
