49ers vs Cardinals Prediction 

Arizona comes into this matchup trying to bounce back from their blowout loss last week against Seattle and they will be at home here. The Cardinals have lost six of their last seven games, they are starting Brissett at quarterback, and will be without Marvin Harrison Jr in this one. San Francisco has alternated wins and losses over their last eight games, which means they are due for a win if that trend continues. The 49ers might have Purdy back for this game, but their defense is getting shredded right now, so I will take the over here.
