The San Francisco 49ers find themselves limping home after a two-game losing streak entering Week 4.

Awaiting them will be the Dallas Cowboys, who stand at 2-1 after upending the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football last week.

Cowboys and 49ers matchups revive the stories of this once-great rivalry. While seemingly nowhere near what it used to be in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, it’s safe to assume this contest carries a little more meaning than just any average midseason bout.

So that opens the door for some bold predictions, right? Of course it does.

We’ll take a look at five bold predictions for San Francisco as the Niners get ready to square off against Cowboys rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. Oh, and it’s a Dallas offense likely to be without Pro Bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant.

Stopping the Cowboys offense will be key. But getting the 49ers offense going is also an essential factor.

Will these two elements be a part of our predictions? You bet.
