Game Note
Next on the NFL scheduling menu is Arizona vs. SF. The 49ers once again hobble into this Sunday’s contest as big favorites against the last place divisional opponent Cardinals. There is not enough space in this writeup to list all the injuries SF is currently nursing, but the amount of talent sitting on the sideline had a significant impact on the 49ers home loss to the Seahawks last Monday night. With a prime time matchup vs the NFC North leading Packers on next week’s schedule today’s contest vs. an Arizona team the 49ers defeated just two weeks ago is another example of an NFL scheduling sandwich game for SF. While the Cards aren’t winning many games for fans to cheer Arizona is a sports bettor’s dream team as they are 7-3 ATS this season including 4-1 on the road. The home crowd can’t possibly match last week’s fervor in the stands nor will the home team match last week’s emotional intensity on the field, so expect a 49er team trying to simply survive today while looking towards next week’s showdown against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Arizona +10 is the play.
