Underachieving Cardinals Host Toothless Niners in NFC West Clash
Winless straight up in their past two, the Arizona Cardinals will be looking to bolster their fading playoff hopes when they host the free-falling San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon in a Week 10 clash of NFC West rivals at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Cardinals entered a bye last week following a 30-20 loss in Carolina as 2.5-point underdogs that dropped them to 3-4-1 on the season. Arizona has been a dicey bet on home turf, going 3-9 ATS in its past 12 overall in the desert. The Cardinals are a solid 7-2 SU in their past nine as double-digit chalk, but have covered just once in their past six.
The 49ers are coming off their seventh straight SU and ATS loss, a 41-23 beating by the New Orleans Saints as 5-point home underdogs. San Francisco has surrendered 33 or more points in six of those seven losses, pushing the point total OVER on six occasions despite averaging fewer than 20 ppg during that stretch.
Arizona has dominated in recent matchups with their divisional rivals, going 4-1 SU and ATS in their past five, including a devastating 47-7 home victory last season as 7-point chalk, and has held the 49ers to 15 ppg during that span.
