Steelers 27 - Bengals 9
San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys (+2.5)
Why SF Wins: Dallas is really bad. The 49ers have a more talented roster, and the talent flat out wins out. Robert Saleh's defense shuts down a bad Cowboys offense and the 49ers limit turnovers. This is how the 49ers can win this one.
Why SF Loses: Nick Mullens is still starting for the 49ers. The WRs of Dallas can be tough matchups and the 49ers are coming off of a game that felt like the final straw to a lost season. Dallas takes advantage of a sloppy 49ers team and comes away with the W.
Prediction: The 49ers continue to play with no real sense of urgency and the gameplan stays the same as it has been all year long. A stagnant 49ers team goes through the motions and comes away with another loss in a game they should have won.
Cowboys 31 - 49ers 22

Eric Kendricks explains decision to ditch 49ers for Cowboys
In March, the San Francisco 49ers were thrilled to agree to terms on a one-year deal with free agent linebacker Eric Kendricks, providing insurance in case Dre Greenlaw missed significant time due to the torn Achilles suffered in the Super Bowl. However, Kendricks unexpectedly backed out of the agreement, opting to sign with the Dallas Cowboys instead.
For the Cowboys, it marked a rare victory over the 49ers and left the Bay Area team scrambling for an alternative solution.

Paths to the Roster for All 8 Picks of the 49ers Draft Class
There was some conventional wisdom heading into the NFL Draft that the 49ers would potentially package some of their ten picks to move up at various times, given that lots of positions on the roster seem relatively set, and that the team is unlikely to rely on rookies while continuing to work through their championship window. In the end, though, this didn't prove to be the case, as the 49ers ended up selecting eight rookies across the seven rounds of the draft. Where might they fit on a crowded roster, and what are their best paths to playing time? Let's take a look.
WR Ricky Pearsall (Round 1, Pick 32)
This is an easy one, because barring an absolute catastrophe or an injury, Ricky Pearsall is going to be on the roster. Heck, even AJ Jenkins made the roster
Ian Rapoport sends clear message regarding 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel
One thing is clear: Ian Rapoport expects Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel to be on the San Francisco 49ers roster when the team takes the field in Week 1 of the 2024 season. At this point, most probably feel that way. The fact that both stayed with the team throughout the draft clearly signals that general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan intend to retain their two talented receivers—at least for one more season.
"Week 1 of 2024, it looks like they both will be [on the roster]," Rapoport told guest host Tom Pelissero on "The Rich Eisen Show."
However, nothing in the NFL is ever certain.
"Now, look, crazy things can happen," Rapoport continued. "Someone loses a star receiver, they decide to give the 49ers something of value for this
