going to be a monumental game.

ESPNs matchup predictor is picking the Cowboys. Not sure if this is just on players, but I think we have more depth. Also, I would take our coaching over theirs.

ESPN seems to be the only ones going this way. Always looking for other angles.

I bet it's our rookie qb that's barely tipping the scale on their algorithm

A few weeks back on NBC, Jason Garrett alluded to the fact the Cowboys don't play as well on natural grass. Presumably it slows them down. Including their playoff game, they've played six games this year on natural grass and they're 2-4.

The question is whether this mostly simply due to the fact they're always the road team when they play on grass. Fwiw, they're 3-0 on the road on synthetic turf, including wins against two playoff teams and the Rams early in the year.

I was very confident about this game all week but after the quote from Vegas and learning that Bill Vinovich (the fact that he's allowed to officiate playoffs games proves the NFL is a sham) is the ref. All my hopes of a Super Bowl this season are gone maybe forever since there's obviously a anti-49ers deep state that's been going on for decades now.

Niners are the better team, but it doesn't matter. NFL and Vegas never lose. Dallas will "win", we got burnt again boys

Vegas determines superbowls?

That is actually a very interesting stat. Thanks for dropping that in here.

We aren't losing to the cowboys.

Think positive. This Is our year

Win it for Jeremy Renner

Another thing about Dallas, their defense gave up 17 ppg on field turf vs 25 ppg on grass. And that includes their playoff game vs Tampa. In their other games on grass, they gave up 26 (Philly), 31 (Green Bay), 40 (Jacksonville), 13 (Tennessee), 26 (Washington). Other than Philly, these weren't the cream of the crop of the NFL, though I do think Jacksonville is definitely an interesting team right now.

In their three road games on field turf, they gave up 16 (Giants), 10 (Rams with Stafford) and 3 (Minnesota).

I think the Jason Peters injury was a big deal. That creates a couple holes on their o-line. They have a rookie, not a horrible one though, now at either LT or RT. The backup guard is Connor McGovern. Additionally they lost their safety in the last game. Technically he's doubtful but has a sprained knee, is he as good as their backup with that sprained knee.

The talking heads and the sharps have talked themselves into Dallas because of our rookie QB, but also recency bias with relation to Dallas. IIRC, the sharps were also thinking the Bucs were going to beat Dallas (something I thought also). I get the point regarding the rookie QB, but rookie or not he's an improvement over what we've gotten by with. Also, Shanahan has shown that he loves to run A LOT in the playoffs. I think Shanahan takes advantage of the rest disparity and goes full 2019-2020 NFC divisional and championship gameplan.

Of course. DP has played for years in the NFL. Brock is frigging awesome for "the limited" time we've seen him. DP is the best QB in the game. It's okay to say it. We won't lose our fan cards. It's going to be an awesome game. Kyle should be a magician and I think CMC will be MVP. We should have this.
