Transcript

00:02 Cowboys and the 49ers.
00:04 Line sitting as it opened, minus three and a half is a favorite towards the 49ers.
00:09 Line also sitting as it opened, 45 points as a total in this game.
00:13 This game I'm really looking forward to watch, but overall from yourself, Mike,
00:17 who is gonna win this football game and who is gonna cover?
00:20 >> I mean, I do like the Niners in this one.
00:22 They've just been the best team so far this season.
00:27 I think there's a clear amount of respect for the Cowboys though, right?
00:30 They haven't, we haven't still, we're in week five.
00:35 We still haven't seen the Cowboys fastball on offense.
00:39 I'm actually now, previously I was saying, they haven't really had to show it.
00:43 Now I'm concerned.
00:45 We're four games in and we haven't seen them throw a fastball.
00:48 The only time that they really needed to score on offense, they failed.
00:51 Bad pick by Dak against Arizona.
00:54 And they didn't really do anything to cement themselves within that game.
00:58 They were dominated really by the Cardinals.
01:00 Now, this is gonna have to be a game where they're gonna have to put pressure
01:03 on Brock Purdy.
01:04 They're obviously gonna get a lot of different looks.
01:07 I think it would be helpful for the Niners if they get some guys back in order
01:10 to spell Christian McCaffrey.
01:12 I think the days of him carrying the ball 27 times each week
01:16 spells disaster for them long term.
01:19 So if we can get some Eli Mitchell or some carries from Uschak or
01:22 other guys to spell him, I think that would be helpful.
01:25 This is really gonna be about pressure.
01:27 Can the Niners overwhelm the Cowboys offensive line and make Dak uncomfortable?
01:32 And conversely, can Micah Parsons and Dallas make Brock Purdy uncomfortable?
01:37 I think the Niners have more tricks in their bag in order to keep Purdy protected.
01:40 We saw how efficient he was the other day.
01:43 But again, these first half lines this week are really calling to me.
01:48 The Niners are an excellent first half team.
01:50 And again, I'd suspect that they get off to a good start.
01:53 But I do think we're gonna get a really good game here, Donnie, to your point.
01:56 We've had some tough ones on Sunday night, but had a good one
02:00 the other night with the Jets and Chiefs.
02:02 I think we'll get another good one here.
02:03 I expect Dallas to be in this one.
02:05 I'll just lean towards the Niners.
