Welcome to Flyertalk afmdnf!

To pile on, don't try this connection. I fly to/through DEN a lot, including SFO-DEN-FRA. There are times that I would have made such a short connection, but plenty of times I would have missed it, despite being a very fast walker.

Also, in terms of the overall itinerary....

Do you absolutely need to fly this 2-stop route? I can imagine reasons one might do it, e.g. wanting to hit a EQM threshold by the end of the year, something to do with the return routing, or maybe you really need to find the cheapest flight possible.

But barring such considerations, SFO-DXB with 0 connections on EK is vastly less risky/painful. And there are lots of 1-stop routings such as SFO-FRA-DXB.
