02 / THE GAME STORY

Dallas must replace key support around Prescott

Ferguson’s expected multiweek absence removes an established option from Prescott’s passing game, and Locke has already been ruled out. San Francisco has its own uncertainty: Samuel and C.J. West are expected back at practice, while Evans is not expected to be ready this week. The difference between returning to practice and being ready for a full role matters to both teams.

The market is asking for a high-scoring game, while the model leans lower. That Under direction remains analysis only, and the spread produces no formal selection. San Francisco’s latest 38-point performance and Dallas’ capacity to score at home are reasons to demand a clear price advantage before endorsing an aggressive low-total view.
