Hot Betting Trends Wildcard Playoffs: San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys

Last year, San Francisco advanced in the playoffs by beating Dallas and hope to do so again this weekend.  That game was played in Dallas with a line of Cowboys -3/-3.5.  Sunday's line is around the same only this time favoring San Francisco.

What We Like

Our number on this game is San Francisco 3.63. And with the actual line floating between 3.5 and 4, this one is on the money.

In college football this season, our sampling of accurate lines that stay above the number 3 but touch on 3.5 had gone 2-6 Against The Spread for the favorite.  The outcome was 5-6 ATS in the NFL.  Combining the two, there is the slightest of edges for Dallas here.

That being said, the shifting between 3.5 and 4 without a set trend in either direction has tended to go more towards the favorite in the NFL and we've spotted one game in college football that provided the same outcome. 

These are comparables.

For example, earlier in the season we had New England +3/ +3.5/ +4 vs. Miami with the result being the home favorite Miami covered and won big.  What's most appealing here is that we had a number of Miami 3.83 that was also on the money, similar to this weekend's playoff game between the 49ers and Cowboys.

Another comparable: LA Rams -3.5 / -4 Arizona whereby the road favorite Rams covered and won by 8 points.  We had that number as Rams 2.93 and, once again, on the money but with a slight 1-point overlay when the line was hitting the number 4.

This makes us a little more excited over San Francisco's chances here at the lower 3.5 number, still available as of Saturday morning.

Let's see if the BetOnline All Access team agrees.  Well, we already know that at least one of the pair likes our pick as the two disagree on the outcome of this game.

BetOnline NFL experts Dre Butler and Jonathan Casillas dissagree on their predictions for the Cowboys vs 49ers Sunday's Divisional Round game.
