Sunday's Week 8 NFL slate concludes with a primetime showdown between two NFC teams looking for a clean sweep. The Dallas Cowboys (3-3) have had a tumultuous start to the season and are currently third in the NFC East. After a stunning loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 6 comes a bye week.

The Cowboys head to Levi's Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers (3-4), who also underperformed after starting the season with high expectations. One team is hoping to emerge victorious on Sunday night, and while the Cowboys and 49ers are near the bottom of their respective divisions, the matchup could feature two potent offenses led by Dak Prescott and Brock Purdy.

The line for this game started at 49ers -5.5 and dropped half a point to 49ers -5 after kickoff. The total remained the same at 47.5 points.

Here's everything you need to know to bet on the Cowboys-49ers, and Anita Marks names her favorite bet for the game.

Anita Marks' favorite selection

49ers (-4.5) vs. Cowboys

There's no doubt that the 49ers are plagued by injuries, but they don't face a formidable defense. San Francisco should be able to run the ball as Jordan Mason and Brock Purdy will see plenty of playing time. The Cowboys can't run the ball and Dak Prescott is prone to throwing interceptions. The 49ers' defense held Patrick Mahomes to just 157 passing yards and two interceptions, for a total of 13 takeaways on the season. The 49ers have the coaching and home advantage on Sunday night.
