Randy’s Free Pick

The 49ers should be favored because they're at home, they've been more consistent, and they've been covering machines these last two seasons. It's hard to make a case against the consistent 49ers. With that said, the Cowboys are far from a pushover and while I don't want to put too much stock into last week, they had a certain pep in their step. The Cowboys have also built a reputation the last couple of years of being road warriors, going into tough venues and giving opponents serious scares. This has the feel of being a back and forth, close game that could be decided on a late field goal. I'll take my chances with the Cowboys on the road and the free points.
