Two old rivals, the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, square off on Sunday night in a battle between two teams that so far have not lived up to expectations.
The Cowboys didn’t lose this past week because they were off, licking their wounds from the blowout loss to Detroit that dropped them to 3-3. The defending NFC champion 49ers lost a Super Bowl rematch to Kansas City that dropped it to 3-4.
The big question mark for the Cowboys right now is the status of cornerback Daron Bland, who is questionable. Defensive star Micah Parsons has been ruled out.
San Francisco is a 5 1/2-point home favorite, with an over-under for the game set at 47 1/2.
