Cappers Picks provides free *NFL*handicapping tips all season long.<\/p>\n The quest begins Sunday for the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys when two of the most polarizing teams in the NFL begin their 2014 campaign.<\/p>\n When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, September 7, 2014<\/strong> Click here to view… NFL ATS Stats<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0*NFL Gambling Insight!*<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n For the 49ers, they will be out to prove that they are deserved favorites to go deep into the playoffs again this year and the Cowboys look to just remain relevant in what should be a wide-open NFC East. Both teams have some question marks on defense \u2013 Will Tony Romo and Colin Kaepernick dominate the headlines?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s be honest \u2013 the San Francisco 49ers looked awful during the preseason both on defense and on offense. Let\u2019s start with the defense which looks to be in some trouble as we head into Week 1. Chargers QB Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning combined to go 21 of 24 for 187 yards and two touchdowns against San Francisco\u2019s first team defense in the preseason \u2013 not good!<\/p>\n Heck, Denver\u2019s backup went 10 of 13 for 105 yards and a TD against the Niners!<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n On paper San Francisco looks nothing like the defensive juggernaut that dominated the last couple of NFL seasons \u2013 outside linebacker Aldon Smith is gone for 11 games after his most recent suspension and inside linebacker NaVarro Bowman is still a couple of months away from return from an ugly injury sustained in last year\u2019s playoffs.<\/p>\n Antoine Bethea who was signed to help out the secondary is dealing with concussions and Donte Whittner and Carlos Rodgers left via free agency in the offseason. Shockingly San Francisco\u2019s defense looks like it is in a bit of trouble as we head into Week 1.<\/p>\n The Niners offense didn\u2019t exactly light the world on fire during the preseason either. Colin Kaepernick was just 12 for 22 in the preseason for 115 yards \u2013 zero TDs. His line failed to protect him and the team struggled mightily to get anything going offensively.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Thank goodness for the Dallas Cowboy defense!<\/p>\n Dallas was bad defensively last season (last in almost every statistical category) and they lost some of the best players this past offseason \u2013 DeMarcus Ware is in Denver, Jason Hatcher is in Washington and linebacker Sean Lee suffered a season ending knee injury. Adding to the misery Orlando Scandrick will be out the first four games thanks to a PED suspension.<\/p>\n Translation \u2013 the Cowboys have a terrible defense and are going to have to score a ton just to be competitive. As always the Cowboys fortunes depend solely on the health of\u2026.<\/p>\n Tony Romo returns from back surgery to lead an offense that is absolutely going to have to shine this upcoming season. Romo\u2019s effectiveness out of the gate is a huge question mark.<\/p>\n We know that Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and the Cowboys pass catchers will be busy but we just don\u2019t know how dependable they will be with an aging, banged up QB getting them the ball.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Romo will have the benefit of a healthy running game behind him \u2013 healthy for now! When DeMarco Murray is on point out of the backfield, the Cowboys are a different team but too frequently the Boys have either had to play without Murray because of injury of they have forgotten about him altogether.<\/p>\n Simply put, the Cowboys should be able to score a few points on a San Francisco defense that has a few question marks heading into Week 1 but will they be able to score enough?<\/p>\n \u2022 SF are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. The San Francisco 49ers have a major chip on their shoulders after being dismissed by their division rival last year and having been berated in the preseason because of their ineffectiveness. Expect the 49ers to come out firing on all cylinders and score at will on Dallas\u2019s awful defense.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not saying that Dallas won\u2019t score their share of point; just sayin\u2019 that they won\u2019t be able to score the 35 it\u2019s going to take to beat a motivated 49ers squad on Sunday.<\/p>\n San Francisco 49ers -4 1\/2<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63706&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NFL Football Odds \u2013 49ers vs Cowboys NFL Week 1 Regular Season action sees the San Francisco 49ers taking on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday September 7 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
