49ers-Cowboys predictions: Can SF keep slim playoff hopes alive?

The Dallas Cowboys will host the 49ers for the first time since 2014 on Sunday in the Week 15 matchup.

Both teams have been hit hard by injuries this season and each will start their backup quarterbacks Sunday with Dak Prescott and Jimmy Garoppolo out. Nick Mullens and Andy Dalton will go head to head at AT&T Stadium in a game that could be relatively even.

The 49ers are coming off a tough 23-15 loss to the Washington Football Team last week. But rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was sensational in the loss, putting up a career-high 10 receptions and 119 yards.

The 49ers will be banking on a strong defensive outing to keep the Cowboys in check and leave Dallas with a win.
