Teams News & Injury Reports
49ers Team News
The 49ers come into this game in good shape. 8 players were listed on the injury report throughout the week but all but one of those were logged as full participants in their last practice session on Friday.
San Francisco will be without backup RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) but that should have little impact on their offensive output in this game.
The Niners will have WR Deebo Samuel on the field (knee) but he likely won’t be 100%. The star wide receiver played 48 snaps last week but went without a catch or target.
The 49ers added talented EDGE Randy Gregory from the Broncos this week but he isn’t expected to be active for this game against Dallas.
Cowboys Team News
The Cowboys, like the 49ers, are relatively healthy coming into this game. 10 players were listed on the injury report (four of those for veteran rest days) throughout the week but all but two of those were full participants at practice on Friday.
The only player that Dallas will definitely be without in this game is second string TE Peyton Hendershot (ankle).
Superstar EDGE Micah Parsons (knee) will be active but he likely won’t be 100% as he deals with that knee injury.

49ers vs Cowboys Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: San Francisco 49ers 27 Dallas Cowboys 17
I’m predicting that the 49ers win this game rather comfortably. San Francisco is playing incredible football on both sides of the ball. They are the 2nd ranked offense in the league in terms of yards per play while allowing the 3rd fewest yards against per play on defense.
We could see this game again in the playoffs later this season as this Dallas team is one of the best in the NFL. However, I think this will be too tall of a task on the road against a 49ers squad that hasn’t lost at home in almost a year.
Best Bet: Brandon Aiyuk Over 4.5 Receptions -120
Deebo Samuel will play in this game but he won’t be at 100% which should mean that Aiyuk will receive the most targets for the 49ers. Aiyuk is also coming into this game off the back of a 6-reception 148-yard performance against the Cardinals last time out.
Another factor working in favor of the Arizona State product is that the Cowboys are down their top cornerback, Trevon Diggs who suffered a season ending ACL injury two weeks ago, while superstar EDGE Micah Parsons won’t be 100% which should allow the 49ers to have success passing the ball.
Remember to always gamble responsibly.
