USATSI

The San Francisco 49ers (4-0) have knocked the Dallas Cowboys (3-1) out of the postseason the past two years, giving the Cowboys some additional motivation heading into their matchup on Sunday Night Football. Quarterback Dak Prescott struggled in both of those contests, and San Francisco's defense is elite again this season. Prescott had 254 passing yards in the 2022 NFC Wild Card round before finishing with 206 passing yards in the 2023 NFC Divisional Round. Prescott's passing yards total has been set at 241.5 in the latest NFL prop odds from the SportsLine consensus.

Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has a rushing yards total of 55.5, which is a number he has surpassed in three of his first four games this season. He is facing one of the league's best defenses on Sunday night, so which side of Pollard's total should you be on with your SNF prop bets?

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each player prop.

Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see a 5-star rating on an over bet if a player is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

Top NFL player prop bets for Cowboys vs. 49ers

After analyzing 49ers vs. Cowboys and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, SportsLine AI says 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk goes over 56.5 receiving yards. Aiyuk's only setback this season has been a shoulder injury that held him out in Week 3. He bounced back with his best performance of the year, catching all six of his targets for 148 yards against Arizona last week.

Aiyuk has broken the century mark in receiving yards in two of his first three games after doing so just once last season. He is back to full strength heading into Sunday's game against Dallas, which is playing without top cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) for the rest of the year. San Francisco wide receivers Deebo Samuel (knee) and Jauan Jennings (shin) are both dealing with injuries, which could lead to an even heavier workload for Aiyuk.

The budding star has hauled in 17 of 20 targets for 320 yards and four touchdowns, putting him well ahead of Samuel (247 yards) as the team's top wideout. SportsLine AI has Aiyuk finishing with nearly 100 receiving yards on Sunday night, which is more than enough to get him over his prop total. See more NFL props here.
