49ers vs. Cardinals Free Pick
In a game only a bettor could love, the Arizona Cardinals will host the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football tonight. Can the 49ers claim their first road win of the year or will their struggles continue?
According to Week 13 NFL odds and oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, the 49ers are currently 1.5-point favorites over the Cardinals on Monday Night. The over/under total for this game is 41.5 points.
The 49ers enter tonight’s game with a 3-7 record and have failed to cover in seven of their first 10 games. They’re also winless on the road this year and have only covered once away from Candlestick Park.
The Cardinals haven’t been much better, in fact, they carry the exact same records as San Fran. They’re 3-7 overall this year and 3-7 against the spread according to latest NFL trends. They’ve split in their four home games this year but have failed to cover in three of those four.
Week 12 Free Pick:
Ugh. If the 49ers bother to show up prepared, they’re definitely the better team. They have more talent on the offensive side of the ball and their defense has played well at times this year. That said, Mike Singletary is often the least prepared coach in the league and unless his coordinators put together a sound game plan, don’t count on him to make any in-game adjustments. He just doesn’t have it as a game-planner or a schemer. That said, Derek Anderson is brutal and the Cardinals haven’t gotten quality production out of their quarterback position all season. Why that would change tonight is beyond me. Troy Smith didn’t play well last week against the Bucs, but Arizona’s defense is a mess and the former Heisman winner had been playing well up until that point. If the Niners don’t forget about Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis, they have more than enough weapons to pick up their first road win. The Niners are also 4-0 against the number in the last four meetings between these two teams in Arizona and the road team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Our pick is the 49ers -1.5.
