The game on Sunday at Candlestick Park will be about the run game. The Cardinals sit in the bottom five in the league in rushing yards allowed per outing, and that should be concerning considering the 49ers are fourth in the NFL in rushing yards per game.
San Francisco has gone 13-3 straight up in the last 16 home games against the Cardinals, and Arizona is only 1-10 straight up and 3-7-1 against the spread in its last 11 games.
The total opened at 38.5 points. Arizona’s total has gone over in the past four games as it has allowed games to get out of hand, while San Francisco has seen the total go over in six of its last seven.
