Cowboys vs. 49ers: 2023 NFL Playoffs Divisional Round Early Bets & Picks
Wild Card Weekend featured four underdogs covering against the spread. The Miami Dolphins lost by just three as 13.5-point underdogs, while the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars won outright as underdogs. Then there was the Baltimore Ravens, who covered as 8.5-point dogs.
However, if you got in on the Cincinnati Bengals at -6.5 at the beginning of the week, then you won your bet. As for the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, they covered with ease.
Here is a look at the early Divisional Round lines and where you should expect them to move. And below is a closer look at Cowboys vs. 49ers.
Cowboys vs. 49ers: NFL Divisional Round Early Lines & Predictions
The Seattle Seahawks were a trendy cover pick last weekend against the 49ers. While they led at halftime, they could not answer any of the 49ers’ blows in the second half. That dominant second-half performance was the best any team looked during Wild Card Weekend… until the Cowboys took the field on Monday night.
The Cowboys demolished Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While no one was expecting the Bucs to do much, Dak Prescott silenced a lot of his doubters with his four-touchdown performance. Brock Purdy was outstanding in his first playoff start, but how will he fair against a Cowboys’ defense that is much better than the Seahawks?
Look for this line to move in favor of Dallas, perhaps even hitting the key number, before settling at 3.5 on gameday.
Current Line: 49ers -4
Predicted Final Line: 49ers -3.5
