After being billed as the underdogs heading into the divisional round, the Cowboys will enter Sunday’s road game against the 49ers looking to prove NFL fans and oddsmakers wrong in a big way.

As of Wednesday, the betting odds tabbed San Francisco, the NFC’s No. 2 seed, as a 3.5-point favorite, further stacking the deck against No. 5 Dallas going into a contest facing a team that’s won its last 11 games. But, despite what the numbers may be saying about the Cowboys ahead of the game, coach Mike McCarthy made it clear on Friday that his team is not worried about perceived as the underdog.
