Here are my picks for Cowboys vs. 49ers

The 49ers can cover

San Francisco’s offense has been rolling. With Brock Purdy at quarterback, the 49ers are averaging 34.8 points per game, which leads the league.

Their expected points added per play (0.03), yards per play (6.8), yards per rush (5.5) and yards per pass (8.8) also lead the NFL Playoff.

Christian McCaffrey is one of the reasons the offense is booming. Since McCaffrey started, San Francisco has been 11-0. In that span, he’s racked up 1,284 scrimmage yards (most in the NFL) and 11 touchdowns. Pick your team here.

Cowboys are adept at covering

Dak Prescott just had one of his most impressive performances. Prescott completed 25 of 33 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns in the Wild Card win.

In a playoff game, he became just the fifth player in NFL history with at least four passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.

Dallas has a versatile playmaker in safety Donovan Wilson. As a free safety, slot corner, in the box or at the line of scrimmage, Wilson led the team in tackles (101).

In addition, he had five sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles, and two pass breakups. Pick your team here.
