San Francisco’s offense is averaging around 30 points per game, one of the highest in the NFL. On the other side, their defense—anchored by Nick Bosa—has allowed the second-fewest yards per game in the league.

    Dallas CowboysDallas has been equally impressive this season, especially on the defensive side, led by Micah Parsons. The Cowboys’ defense leads the league in turnovers, and the offense has steadily improved, with Dak Prescott finding a rhythm with his receivers. Dallas’ well-rounded game will challenge the 49ers at every level, making this an all-out battle.
    • Record: 4-2
    • Offensive Rank: 10th in points per game (26.5)

    2. Key Players to WatchSan Francisco 49ers
    1. Brock Purdy (Quarterback): Purdy has managed games exceptionally well, with only a handful of interceptions all season. His ability to stay calm under pressure and make accurate throws, especially in the red zone, makes him a tough QB to face.
    2. Christian McCaffrey (Running Back): McCaffrey is on a record-setting pace this season, combining power and agility. Look for him to be a versatile threat, both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield.
    3. Nick Bosa (Defensive End): Bosa’s pass-rushing prowess is something Dallas will need to contain. With seven sacks so far, he’s a constant threat to disrupt the Cowboys’ backfield.
    Dallas Cowboys
    1. Dak Prescott (Quarterback): Prescott has a deep connection with receiver CeeDee Lamb and a good read on defenses. Against the 49ers’ formidable secondary, Dak’s performance could be the difference-maker.
    2. Micah Parsons (Linebacker): As one of the best defensive players in the league, Parsons can take over a game single-handedly. He has a knack for finding the quarterback and disrupting plays with tackles for loss.
    3. Tony Pollard (Running Back): Pollard has been a consistent offensive weapon for Dallas. His quickness and ability to break off big runs give Dallas a much-needed balance on offense, potentially keeping the 49ers' defense on its heels.
    3. Matchup to Watch: Cowboys' O-Line vs. 49ers’ Defensive FrontThis matchup may be won in the trenches. The Cowboys' offensive line will need to protect Prescott and open lanes for Pollard, which is no easy feat against Bosa and the rest of the 49ers’ defensive line. If Dallas can prevent Bosa and Co. from making consistent stops, they’ll have a chance to put up points.4. Game PredictionWith two talented defenses and potent offenses, this game could be a low-scoring battle with a few explosive plays. Many expect the game to be decided by which team wins the turnover battle. With both teams averaging fewer than 25 points allowed per game, a close finish with a final score in the range of 24-20 feels likely.How to WatchThe action kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. If you’re not near a TV, the game is also available to stream on Peacock and the NBC Sports app, so you won’t miss a second of this NFC showdown.This Sunday night promises a fantastic display of talent, grit, and strategic plays, as two of the NFL's powerhouses go head-to-head under the prime-time lights.
