A disappointing season for both of these NFC West teams are the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers yet again injury-riddled on the season and will fall short of the playoffs after making it to the Super Bowl last year. Meanwhile, the Cardinals got off to a great start to the season to only lose winnable games down the stretch. Below are the 49ers at Cardinals Preview and Predictions!
Plenty of injuries on the 49ers’ side in this game as they have ruled out starting quarterback Brock Purdy who is dealing with an elbow injury. Additionally, the 49ers will be without Deebo Samuel and are listing tight end George Kittle as questionable with an ankle and hamstring injury. Joshua Dobbs will be getting the start this week for the 49ers against his former team.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals will be without running James Conner who is dealing with a knee injury. Additionally, kicker Matt Prater is out, and wide receiver Michael Wilson is questionable with a hamstring injury.

Best Bets
Another meaningless game this week for both teams but there will be players on both sides who are playing for their future. I do expect points to be scored in this game with both teams being able to have explosive plays down the field. However, I do think that both running backs will have success on the ground in this game.
Since the 2020 season, the Cardinals in home division games are 9-4 to the Over (69.2%). Defense will be questionable in this game for both teams so I do expect to see some fireworks.
Best Bet: 49ers/Cardinals Over 42.5
Player Prop Best Bet
Kyler Murray Over 33.5 Rushing Yards
One of the incentives this week is Kyler Murray needs 50 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown to unlock $750,000. Murray has had plenty of success against the 49ers running the football. Murray has 34+ rushing yards in six of the seven games against the 49ers in his career. I love this Murray this week to exceed this projection.
