Chris’ Pick

I’m looking at San Francisco here. I’m hoping the line dips under a field goal, but even then I’m fine where it is. Dallas’ schedule to this point has done nothing for me, and while the 49ers haven’t had it much tougher, I just like the way the 49ers have come out to play. It’ll be a matchup that is one of the most-watched of the year for sure, but I think the Niners win this one by 4-7 points, like a 31-27 kind of game. Give me the 49ers laying the points.
