The Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers meet Sunday in week 18 NFL action at Levi's Stadium. The Arizona Cardinals have lost 6 straight games. The San Francisco 49ers have won 9 straight games.

The Arizona Cardinals have lost 4 of their last 6 road games. Colt McCoy is completing 68.2 percent of his passes for 780 yards, 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions. DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown have combined for 1,419 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, while Greg Dortch has 48 receptions. The Arizona Cardinals ground game is averaging 113.3 yards per contest, and James Conner leads the way with 782 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle have combined for 1,692 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns, while Deebo Samuel has 54 receptions.

The Cardinals are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in January. The 49ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The over is 7-3 in Cardinals last 10 games overall. The over is 4-1 in 49ers last 5 games overall. The Cardinals are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in San Francisco and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings. The underdog is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings. The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

This is a massive line, and I'm not excited about laying two touchdowns, but the Arizona Cardinals are a complete mess right now, and they have nothing to play for at this point. The San Francisco 49ers have been covering machines dating back to last season, and they're head and shoulders the better team on both sides of the ball. Again, the line is thick, but it would shock nobody to see the 49ers run away with this one. It's laying the points or pass for me.
