Prediction

The absence of Bryant and a number of key players on the defense for Dallas may possibly make this game a little more closer than most would assume.

It’s no secret that Dallas will ride their rookie in Elliott and their massive offensive line. So expect San Francisco to attempt to neutralize the run game of Dallas as much as possible. Easier said than done of course.

If there is an advantage for the 49ers, they have an offensive scheme that is predicated on running the ball and making defenses uncomfortable. The front seven for Dallas will have that tough task sitting in front of them to defend the downhill running by the Niners.

Prescott and the offense will have to be careful with the football and play keep away from a Niners defense that has caused a number of turnovers this season. If they can, Dallas walks out with a victory. A close victory but a victory nonetheless.

Prediction: Cowboys, 26-20
