Concerned about this one.  Dallas has an excellent defense. They will exploit the Niners weakness - which is the right side O-line.  Parsons and Lawrence are as  good a combo as you will see.  

Offensively they can run the ball.  You always hope for Prescott to make the big mistake.  And he often complies.  But he also can be very good.

 Niners have been terrific.  But the competition to date has been fairly weak.  And all the McC talk makes me nervous.

Spread is 3.5. Which is essentially a pick-em game on a neutral field.  Cowboys may get an extra point or two cause of their following. But not  sure in that.

I see a close, low scoring game.

Cowboys lost to an Arizona team the Niners beat by 19.

Cowboys have otherwise beat the Giants, Jets, and Patriots, who aren't good.

The Niners have also beat the Rams who are good.

I will go out on a limb and say the Niners will score 27+ points. Why?

- Brock Purdy is better now than he was last year; he said what he needs to improve from his playoff game against Cowboys this week, and it tracks to what he has clearly improved on this year.

- Christian McCaffrey is fully integrated into the Niners offense and he is incredible.

- The Niners are a much better Red Zone team in 2023 than 2022 as a result. They were 52% TD rate last year. They are at 67% TD rate this year.
