The Week 8 installment of Sunday Night Football takes NFL bettors to Levi’s Stadium where the hype buildup is lacking due to the respective NFL betting season getting away from both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. Even with Jerry Jones trolling the fans and media over the bye week, NFL bettors have still gravitated to the visitors on the NFL odds with 57% of the bets and 70+ percent of the money pushing the number to beat down to 3.5 from the 6.5-point opener at PROLINE+. While injuries have played a role, total bettors are bullish on the under with action reports finding 70+ percent of the tickets and upwards of 90% of the handle expecting points to be tough to come by. Because of it, the Over/Under market has corrected four full points from the 50.5 opener down to 46.5. San Francisco handed Dallas a 42-10 beat down in this same venue when they met up in Week 5 of last season to move to 3-0 SU and ATS in the last three meetings.
Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.
Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers NFL Same Game Parlay:
Oh how the mighty have fallen! It was only a year ago that the 49ers and Cowboys clocked in as the NFC’s two best teams heading into the playoffs. Fast forward to Week 8 of the 2024-25 NFL betting season, and neither team would qualify for the playoffs if they were to start today. I saw it coming with the Dallas Cowboys before the season even kicked off, and put my money where my mouth was by hammering the under of their season win total while also sprinkling some money on Mike McCarthy failing to lead the team back to the postseason. However, I didn’t see it with the 49ers regardless of also making a small investment on the under of their bloated 11.5-game win total. I still figured they’d be a player in the NFC West but with the Seahawks and Cardinals giving Kyle Shanahan’s troops a much tougher run for their money than they did a season ago.
As it is, both teams have been castrated by the injury bug. Dallas losing Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence proved to be a horrific turn of events for a defense that was already getting shredded with the duo harassing opposing quarterbacks. Their absence was highly noticeable in the 47-9 beat down at the hands of the Detroit Lions before going on bye. I think David Montgomery just scored another rushing touchdown! As for the Niners, both sides of the ball have been hampered by injuries with Brandon Aiyuk the most recent casualty. Deebo Samuel is battling a dose of pleurisy, but is expected to be back for this game after sitting out last week’s disappointing loss to the Chiefs. The Niners simply just came in flat, and I think the mass injuries had everything to do with the no-show.
Having said all that, I just don’t see how an NFL bettor would voluntarily lay points with the Niners right now. Their injured list is a mile long! Even with the guys giving it a go, one poorly placed shot could knock them out of the game. I get that Dallas is a team to target with the running game, but are we confident Jordan Mason makes it through the whole game? If he goes down, are we confident enough in Isaac Guerendo or Patrick Taylor to pick up the slack? I’m not! George Kittle, Nick Bosa, and Trent Williams are all listed as questionable. There are just way too many unknowns to confidently expect San Francisco to bounce back and defend its turf which is why the NFL spread has moved against them so heavily. Then there’s the whole Dallas coming off the bye thing, and the Cowboys clocking in 3-1 SU and ATS with McCarthy coming in rested. I hate that we’re getting the worst of both numbers, but it’s still the only way I foresee getting involved with the Sunday nighter.
- DALLAS COWBOYS +3.5
- DALLAS/SAN FRANCISCO UNDER 46.5
