The Cardinals average 23.9 points per game while allowing 20 points on defense. The 49ers put up 25.5 points per game, but are giving up only 16.8 points to opposing teams. Arizona is 7-8 with the over/under, though just 3-4 at home. San Francisco is also 7-8 on the season with total points, but are 4-4 on the road. The Cardinals are 5-0-1 in the last six games against the spread, and are 10-4-1 on the season. The 49ers are 9-4-1 against the spread this season.
The Cardinals will need the Saints to lose to the Buccaneers at home in order to have a shot at the playoffs. Both games will be going on simultaneously, so it should not impact the score.
