San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals
Play: Arizona Cardinals
Lately with Thursday Night & Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football and Jon Gruden have lost that big game feel. Except if Your Arizona, make no mistake about it, Playing on Monday Night Football National TV is a big deal for small town market, No respect AZ Cardinals. Throw in these teams are NFC West Conference rivals. Plus AZ's defense is underrated and pretty good. Niners Coach Harbaugh showed us last week that he's just concerned with winning the game and doesn't care about covering big spreads as a favorite. Old school handicapping applies Tonight, Take the Home Dog ! Might want to wait until around game time to bet as the Niners are becoming a public Team and this line might go higher ?
SPORTS WAGERS
ARIZONA +7 -110 over San Francisco
Anyone in the football business will tell you that divisional games are the most intense and focused upon. That makes it difficult to be spotting such heavy road points in a prime time game such as this one, even though we consider the Niners to be the superior club. Last year, when Arizona was worse and San Fran might’ve been better, the 49ers came in here and lost 21-19.
Nothing in their recent play suggests that the Cardinals were anything more than a flash in the pan when they leaped out to a 3-0 record. But their good fortune seems to have caught up to them. Offensively, this team is weak. They have virtually no rushing game, a passing scheme that features one capable player (Larry Fitzgerald) and a defense that is adequate but not quite good enough to keep piling up wins.
Still, prefer the strength of this situation. History is lined with divisional road faves that were supposed to win easy on Monday Night but failed to cover or win on the square. These aren’t small points either. A low percentage play does not draw our interest, as Arizona has quietly won eight of past nine at home. No units risked.
