NFL Week 17 Free Pick:
The Cardinals racked up the points last week but that was mostly thanks to two interceptions that returned for touchdowns. They have struggled scoring points on the road this year, averaging just 13.3 points per game away from their home digs. John Skelton has given their offense a shot in the arm but he struggled a couple of weeks ago in Carolina and has been more efficient at home than on the road. The Niners are just trying to get through today after firing Mike Singletary last week. Their offense has been putrid for most of the year, even though they have plenty of talent on that side of the ball. Alex Smith will once again draw another start after he was benched in favor of Troy Smith last week (only to come in for Smith in the fourth quarter anyway). The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams and 4-1 in the last five games played in San Francisco. Our pick is the under 39.5.
