Both teams will try for their first win of the preseason as they dropped road matches in week 1. <\/p>\n<p>Both teams struggled with moving the ball in their respective losses and will look to get back on track here in week 2.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s expected that Colin Kaepernick get a little more time than just 1 series on Sunday night as he looked sluggish in his small sample size of playing time. Blaine Gabbert was a lone bright light in the 49ers performance and will look to carry that into this contest.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63753&#038;limit=1&#038;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Kick off is set for 8:00 PM ET inside Levi&#8217;s Stadium.  The last time these two teams met was during the regular season last year. <\/p>\n<p>The 49ers got a road win 28-17 as they passed for 255 yards in the victory. <\/p>\n<h3>Dallas Cowboys<\/h3>\n<p>The Cowboys offense was an absolute mess in week 1 as they dropped their opener. However, that shouldn&#8217;t raise any red flags as Tony Romo was held out and a cluster of reserves led the way from opening kickoff.<\/p>\n<p>Dez Bryant and Tyron Smith also sat out as they continue to work their way back from minor injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The duo will also sit out this week&#8217;s game against the 49ers, but should see a lot of time over the team&#8217;s final 2 preseason games.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&#038;limit=1&#038;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>With DeMarco Murray making an exit this past offseason, the RB position is the biggest key this preseason for Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle, and Lance Dunbar lead the way as the candidates for Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>However, all three continue to deal with ailing injuries, which poses as a giant problem for the Cowboys. McFadden continues to deal with a hamstring injury, Randle is battling an oblique injury, and Dunbar continues to battle an ankle injury. <\/p>\n<p>All three are scheduled to see some time Sunday, but they won&#8217;t see significant time.<\/p>\n<h3>San Francisco 49ers<\/h3>\n<p>QB Colin Kaepernick has proven himself as one of the top elite QBs in the NFL with both his legs and his arm. He didn&#8217;t show much during his one and only series in week 1, but will likely see a bit more time heading into the 49ers&#8217; 2nd game of the preseason.<\/p>\n<p>While their offense looked bad, like the Cowboys, last week, Blaine Gabbert was at least encouraging. Gabbert will backup Kaepernick and will need to be 100% ready incase the running QB goes down.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbert was the only 49ers QB to throw a touchdown last week when he found Bruce Ellington for a 20 yard touchdown. <\/p>\n<p>Gabbert has a bit of a chip on his shoulder coming into this season as his resigning was questioned by many people this past offseason.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&#038;limit=1&#038;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The star in week 1 for San Francisco was RB Jarryd Hayne. The rookie played in his first game ever as he comes over from being a rugby player.<\/p>\n<p>Hayne broke free for a 53 yard run, which was the longest play from scrimmage.<\/p>\n<h3>NFLBetting Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"more\">\n<li class=\"more\">Cowboys are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games.<\/li>\n<li class=\"more\">Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC.<\/li>\n<li class=\"more\">Cowboys are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.<\/li>\n<li class=\"more\">49ers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games on grass.<\/li>\n<li class=\"more\">49ers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 vs. NFC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4* NFL Betting Prediction:\u00a0Dallas Cowboys ATS<\/h3>\n<p>Both teams will likely have a lot of backups in the game, like their week 1 games.<br \/>\n<strong>NFL Score Prediction: Dallas 14- San Francisco 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys work in their running backs and get them some work as they hold off the 49ers.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be providing 4* free NFL predictions on the blog all season long, and check out our <a title=\"NFL Plays\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/sportscapping.php?premium_picks\/leg,nfl\/afc,AF23_15\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>EXPERTS for guaranteed premium NFL Football picks<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>CappersPicks.com has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/nfl\/lines\/\">NFL odds<\/a> up on a ton of futures, and you will also find NFL lines up for early games as well.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&#038;limit=1&#038;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL Prediction: Cowboys vs 49ers NFL betting\u00a0sees the Dallas Cowboys\u00a0taking on the San Francisco 49ers\u00a0\u00a0on Sunday August 23rd at Levi&#8217;s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
