The Cardinals and 49ers meet Sunday in an NFC West battle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The NFC West appears to be wide open with the favored Seattle Seahawks struggling with a tough schedule early. The Los Angeles Rams lead the division with a 2-1 record. The Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals are next at 1-2 while the 0-3 San Francisco 49ers are in last place. Arizona hosts San Francisco Sunday.<\/p>\n

San Francisco leads the series 29-22 against Arizona. The Cardinals have won four straight games in the series including both match-ups last year. The Cardinals won in Santa Clara 33-21 and at home 23-20. The teams will meet again in the Bay Area November 5. This rivalry dates back to 1951, but they have only been division rivals since 2002.<\/p>\n

San Francisco is coached by Kyle Shanahan in his first year. The 49ers have home losses to the Carolina Panthers 23-3 and last Thursday to the Los Angeles Rams 41-39, plus a road loss to the Seattle Seahawks 12-9. After scoring only four field goals in the first two games, the San Francisco offense exploded for 39 points against the Rams. A missed extra point led to a missed two point conversion for the 49ers which was the difference in a game that was more entertaining than most thought it would be. San Francisco was a three point underdog against Los Angeles and the total was 40.5. The 49ers are 2-1 ATS and the total is 1-2 this season.<\/p>\n

Arizona is coached by Bruce Arians. The Cardinals have a road loss at the Detroit Lions 35-23 and a home loss to the Dallas Cowboys 28-17 Monday night. Arizona has a road win over the Indianapolis Colts 16-13 in overtime. Against Dallas, Arizona dominated early but a missed field goal in the second quarter proved to be the turning point in the game. The Cowboys would outscore them 28-10 from that point on. The Cardinals were three point underdogs against the Cowboys and the total was 46.5. Arizona is 0-3 ATS and the total is 1-2 this season.<\/p>\n

Arizona is 4-1 ATS after a double digit home loss, 3-7 after passing for 250 yards or more, 2-5 after a straight up loss, against teams with losing road records, and in October, 3-8 against NFC teams, 2-6 on grass, and 3-10 overall, 2-8 after failing to cover, 1-4 at home and against teams with losing records, 1-6 in week four, and 1-10 after rushing for less than 90 yards.<\/p>\n

Arizona is 1-2 but their win is over the equally woeful Indianapolis Colts. San Francisco could easily be 2-1 as they had chances to win late against both the Seahawks and Rams. I think the 49ers offensive performance last week was an exception and I think this will be a low scoring game. I like the Cardinals to win at home.<\/p>\n
