The 49ers are not going to be an easy out of the playoffs and I think the Cowboys learn that today. I think the 49ers have the best chance at an outright upset out of all the dogs in the first round and I think San Francisco, at the very least, keeps this game very competitively close. San Francisco held each of its last four opponents to under 300 total yards to end the season as the defense picked up at the exact right time. The Niners also held eight of their last nine opponents to under 100 rushing yards to end the season, which is important when facing a team led by Zeke Elliot in the backfield. Although the Niners' defense may have carried this team to the postseason, we cannot forget the offense. San Francisco earned over 350 total yards in each of its last six games to end the season and both the run & passing game was its most efficient down the stretch. The Cowboys' defense has been great at forcing takeaways but still allows a lot of yards per game both through the air and on the ground, so I think SF can move the ball easily in this one. It is not easy playing on the road at Dallas but Jimmy G already has a strong playoff run under his belt and I think the Niners earn the upset win over the Cowboys today, but I will take the points just in case. This line could jump up to 3.5, so it may be worth waiting to get that best number. 

Ron’s Pick San Francisco 49ers: +3 -105
