Cardinals at 49ers Odds Preview
The San Francisco 49ers’ fall from grace continued in Week 11 in the form of a 29-13 road loss to the arch rival Seattle Seahawks, and things won’t get any easier Sunday when Jim Tomsula’s crew face off against another NFC West divisional foe in the Arizona Cardinals. The Cards showed a lot of Sportsbook last week thanks to a big fourth quarter comeback en route to topping the Cincinnati Bengals 34-31 and improving to 8-2 SU on the season.
Sportsbooks have opened the Cards as hefty 10.5-point favorites for the matchup, which is especially noteworthy. Arizona has only been favored by more than a touchdown on the road four times since 1980.
Arizona has also been one of the hottest OVER teams in the NFL this season, evidenced by the OVER/UNDER going 8-2 in their Sportsbook 10 games.
