Let\u2019s take a look at the two Bay Area teams and handicap their chances for the weekend.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>San Francisco 49ers @ Dallas Cowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cowboys Stadium @ 8pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Odds: Cowboys -7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The sportsbook has an uncharacteristically high line for the 49ers-Cowboys game as most preseason lines have been around a field goal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?leaderboard\/leg,nfl\/afc,AF23_15\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR TOP NFL FOOTBALL CAPPERS FOR 2009 &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/baff.betonline.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=2225&amp;ID_I=1912\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The reason why the line is so big is because of how good the Cowboys looked in their last preseason game in comparison to some of the issues the 49ers are enduring right now.<\/p>\n<p>While the 49ers offense pumped out a ton of rushing yards against the Oakland Raiders, their quarterbacking has been fairly questionable so far. The battle between Alex Smith and Shaun Hill hasn\u2019t really produced a winner but Hill has won the job almost by default. The goal was for Smith to push him but both players have looked marginal at best.<\/p>\n<p>Hill is also dealing with some back problems that recently surfaced and it\u2019s unclear how long he\u2019ll play in the game.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, the Cowboys should have a good offensive outing, especially given how much depth they have on offense. Tony Romo and company should have a good game against a mediocre 49ers defense while the Cowboys slew of running backs should pave the way to the win and cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Orleans Saints @ Oakland Raiders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Oakland Coliseum 4pm &#8211; NFL Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Odds: Saints -2.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Oakland Raiders are pathetic right now. They are a disaster off the field and they are a wreck on the field. The 49ers racked up a ton of rushing yards against the Raiders weak defense and the New Orleans Saints should be able to as well.<br \/>\nThe Saints are typically more of a passing unit but they will get Reggie Bush back for this game and he\u2019s expecting to see a big workload. Not many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesportsbetting.org\/\">sports picks<\/a> will side with the Raiders in this game because they don\u2019t have the offensive weapons to keep up in a high-scoring affair.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nflbet.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">NFL picks<\/a>: Saints and Cowboys<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s take a quick look at two preseason picks and NFLX Predictions for the Bay Area NFL teams on Saturday.  2009 NFL preseason and week three top games&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[16769,16772,16773,15077,886,15079,16770,16771],"class_list":["post-12684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nfl","tag-49ers-cowboys-picks","tag-49ers-vs-cowboys-odds","tag-nfl-pre-season-projections","tag-nfl-preseason-picks","tag-nflx","tag-nflx-predictions","tag-saints-raiders-picks","tag-saints-vs-raiders-odds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12684"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109148,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12684\/revisions\/109148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
