Brock Purdy has played all eight games, averaging 247.5 yards, 2.1 touchdowns and 0.6 interceptions per game, and 238.2 yards per game over his last five. Prescott throws for a bit more per game.

What Is the 49ers vs Cowboys Spread?
The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. Dallas at +186 (best at ReBet) means $100 profits $186. Remove the vig (the book's built-in fee) and the market reads roughly 66.1% San Francisco, 33.9% Dallas.
The spread handicaps the favorite. San Francisco -4 at -109 (Bally Bet) wins only by 5 or more. A 4-point win is a push (stake returned), and a 3-point win loses. Break-even is 52.2%. Dallas +4 at -105 (Hard Rock Bet) wins if Dallas wins or loses by 3 or fewer, with a 51.2% break-even. The consensus moved from +4 at the open to +4.5 after 17 moves, so shop. For an underdog, more points is always better.
Consensus has crept to 56. Dallas games went over 6 times in 9. San Francisco is 4-4 in 8.
Where the Value Is
Expected value is what a bet averages per $100 over many repeats, not what one ticket wins. At -190, the 49ers break even at 65.5%. Small, but positive. The public split puts 90% of moneyline tickets on San Francisco. That is not our reason. The price is, and only at -190. A worse number elsewhere erases it.
Who Is Out for the 49ers and Cowboys?
San Francisco will be without Mike Evans and Brandon Aiyuk, with C.J. West and Gracen Halton on injured reserve. Trent Williams, Renardo Green, Deommodore Lenoir and Dre Greenlaw are questionable, meaning uncertain until inactives Sunday. Dallas will be without Donovan Ezeiruaku, Jonathan Mingo and Juanyeh Thomas, with Devin Moore on injured reserve. Joey Porter Jr., DaRon Bland (CB) and Alijah Clark (S) are questionable.
