San Francisco 49ers VS Dallas Cowboys NFL Playoff Predictions with odds, betting lines, picks and promos

The Dallas Cowboys head to Levi’s Stadium for an NFC divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Both teams won their Wild Card games easily, but Arizona sportsbooks expect a closer battle this weekend: they’ve installed the San Francisco 49ers as 3.5-point home favorites in the NFL betting lines. Confidence is high for the San Francisco 49ers going into their second playoff match. Last year, at the same stage, the hosts won this round, and with home-field advantage on their side, hope to launch a title run. The Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, look to assert themselves as a genuine Super Bowl threat by taking a road win.
