Cowboys vs 49ers Prop #1: Christian McCaffrey Rushing Yardage
San Francisco double threat Christian McCaffrey is proving to be a machine in the NFL props picks this season. However, the last time he ran up against the Dallas defense, it was like running into a brick wall.
Christian McCaffrey is a monster!
Let’s be real would Brock Purdy really be successful without this running game 👀
49ers 🤔
— TrueToAtlanta 📸 (@TrueToATL_) October 1, 2023
In last season’s NFL Divisional Round playoff check, the Cowboys limited McCaffrey to 35 yards on the ground. If Dallas wants to knock the 49ers from the ranks of the unbeaten, the game plan begins with containing McCaffrey. And Dallas is #1 in the NFL in total defense (259.7 yards per game), allowing just 111.8 yards per game on the ground.

Cowboys vs 49ers Prop #2: Dak Prescott Completions
Every QB who’s faced the 49ers this season has gone over their projected pass completion total. There’s a twofold cause for this. Firstly, San Francisco is the NFL’s #3 rush defense, holding opponents to 66.0 yards per game on the ground. Secondly, the Niners tend to be ahead on the scoreboard, forcing the other team to go to the air in a bid to rally.

Dallas QB Dak Prescott is completing 71.3% of his passes this season. He’s completed 25 or more passes in each of the past three games and his completion total for this game is set at 23.5. Back him to hit his completions over in your NFL Week 5 player props.
