Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers Prediction
The San Francisco 49ers are slowly getting players back from injury, and we know what they're capable of when they're firing on all cylinders. The Arizona Cardinals haven't looked great on either side of the ball these last two weeks, and the offense has been one-dimensional with a limited passing game. A talented and physical 49rs defense should have its way with this Cardinals offense. Also, the Cardinals have allowed 30-plus points in two of their first four games and can't stop the run. The 49ers have won 4 straight games against the Cardinals and have covered double-digit chalk in all of those games. The number isn't as large this time, but I still expect a double-digit win from the 49ers.
