Cowboys-49ers SNF: Gambling tips and open thread for tonight's game

Week 8 features a classic NFL Sunday Night Football rivalry as the Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams have been struggling to start this season, so this could be a sink-or-swim game.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are coming off a much-needed week off, as the team suffered a tough loss to the Lions two weeks ago and dealt with several injuries to key players. Meanwhile, Brock Purdy and the 49ers are in a similar boat after losing to the Chiefs last week and have a depleted receiving corps.

This is your place to discuss the game with other Las Vegas Raiders fans and your gambling tips as the following is provided by FanDuel Sportsbook.

Cowboys vs. 49ers

• Dispersion: SF -3.5
• O/U: 47.5
• SF ML: -210
• DAL ML: +176

Owner's favorites: DAL +3.5, Under 47.5, DAL ML

Given the extra week of preparation and San Francisco's many injuries, I'd like Dallas to make a surprise comeback. Additionally, according to Brandon Loree of Blogging The Boys, Mike McCarthy is 12-5 in his career after a bye week and 3-1 specifically with the Cowboys. Both teams have many weaknesses, but heading into the contest there appear to be even more that benefit Dallas.

Scores have not been finalized for the injury report at the time of writing, but the following players have not practiced for the 49ers this week (as of Thursday): defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin), wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) and kicker Jake Moody ( right ankle). For the Cowboys, kicker Brandon Aubrey (jury duty, expected to play), cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) and outside linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) missed the first two practices of the week.
