NFL Week 8 2024 Betting Odds: Cowboys-49ers Odds, Picks, Lines

Sunday’s NFL Week 8 slate concludes with a primetime showdown between two NFC teams looking for a statement victory. The Dallas Cowboys (3-3) have had an up-and-down start to their season and currently sit third in the NFC East. A bye week after a big loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 6.

The Cowboys head to Levi’s Stadium to take on the San Francisco 49ers (3-4), who have also underperformed after entering the season with high expectations. One team looks to emerge victorious on Sunday night and while the Cowboys and 49ers are near the bottom of their respective divisions, the matchup could showcase two high-powered offenses led by Dak Prescott and Brock Purdy.

The line for this game opened at 49ers -5.5 and has dropped half a point to 49ers -5 at kickoff. The total remained the same at 47.5 points.

Here’s everything you need to know to bet on Cowboys-49ers and Anita Marks gives her favorite bet for the game.

Anita Marks’ favorite choice

49ers (-4.5) vs. Cowboys

The 49ers are undoubtedly dealing with injuries, but they are not facing a huge defense. San Francisco should be able to run the ball with Jordan Mason and Brock Purdy will see all kinds of time in his pocket. The Cowboys can’t run the ball and Dak Prescott tends to throw interceptions. The 49ers defense held Patrick Mahomes to just 157 passing yards and two interceptions, with a total of 13 takeaways on the season. The 49ers have the coaching and home field advantage on Sunday night.
