What is the story about?

The Dallas Cowboys got the win they needed last week versus the Indianapolis Colts, but it certainly wasn’t easy. Speaking of not easy, this week they get the San Francisco 49ers. Gulp.

Something else that isn’t easy is making bold predictions. At least it hasn’t been easy for me as I got wiped out last week. Can I do better this week? We’ll see, but much like the expectations that the Cowboys will fall, I will probably do the same. Regardless, we press on.

The Cowboys are at home for this week’s game

against the 49ers, and are 4.5-point underdogs, according to our friends at FanDuel. The over/under is 55.5 points.

On to the bold predictions for the Cowboys versus 49ers.

Osa Odighizuwa gets a strip sack

Never totally appreciated in Dallas, Osa Odighizuwa will be out to prove himself on Sunday. So far this year he has two sacks with nine QB hits, but he will get through the offensive line of Dallas for a costly strip sack of Dak Prescott. Chalk it up to the ‘curse of the traded player’.

Brevyn Spann-Ford get his first TD of the year

I’m going to go back to the Spann-Ford train once again. This will be the second time I’ve called for his first TD of the year, but this time it’s for reals. With the absence of Jake Ferguson, Spann-Ford should get plenty of opportunities in the passing game. One such target will pay off in a touchdown.

Dallas gets 12+ penalties

The Cowboys are penalty-prone, we’ve seen that all year. This game shouldn’t be any different as a powerful 49ers offense will cause offsides, defensive holding and pass interference penalties. If the Cowboys have to chase the game, then expect some offensive holding penalties to show up to. Hopefully DeMarvion Overshown plays so he won’t pick up a penalty for running onto the field.
