Arizona Cardinals - NFL Betting Analysis

Heading into week 17, the Arizona Cardinals are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Falcons by a score of 20-19, giving them a loss against an NFC opponent. Even though the Cardinals lost the game, they managed to cover the spread as 6.5-point underdogs. Together, the two teams combined score remained below the over-under betting line of 40. In the losing effort, the Cardinals blew a 2-point lead heading into the 4th quarter, as Atlanta outscored them by 3 in the final period. Through 16 games, the Cardinals have an ATS record of 8-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-7-1. This week's betting total of 40.0 is lower than the line in their previous games.

As the Cardinals prepare to take on San Francisco, they are ranked 21st in points per game at 20.4. This week, the team is matched up against the league's 2nd ranked defense. For the year, the 49ers are allowing an average of 16.5 points per game. This year, Arizona is ranked 6th in pass play percentage but are just 18th in pass yards per game. In the run game, the team is just the 20th-ranked unit in rush yards per game.

 

San Francisco 49ers - NFL Betting Analysis

The 49ers head into week 18, looking for another win, as they picked up 3 point victory over the Las Vegas Raiders (37-34). Going into the matchup, the 49ers were -9.5 point favorites and did not cover the spread. San Francisco pulled out a comeback victory over the Raiders, as they entered the 4th quarter trailing by a score of 24-21. Despite the win, San Francisco was not able to cover the spread. Through 16 games, the 49ers have an ATS record of 10-6. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-8. This week's betting total of 40.0 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.

As the 49ers prepare to take on Arizona, they have played well on offense, ranking 7th in points per game at 25.8. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Cardinals defense that is ranked 29th in points per game. Although the 49ers come into the game ranked just 13th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing an Arizona secondary that is vulnerable through the air. On the ground, the 49ers should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better-rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Cardinals vs. 49ers

Over the last 5 matchups between Arizona and San Francisco, the 49ers have won 3 of the last 5 games. The over-under record in these games sits at 2-3, with the average scoring total coming in at 39.8 points. In game 1 of this year's series between the two teams, the 49ers came away with a 10-38 win over the Cardinals. In addition to picking up the win, the 49ers covered the spread as -14.0 point favorites. Last season, the Cardinals and 49ers met up for 2 games, with Arizona winning both matchups by scores of 31-17 and 17-10.

The Arizona Cardinals have performed well vs the spread in recent games, going 2-2. On average, the Cardinals have averaged 18.8 points per game in the past 5 head-to-head matchups, compared to San Francisco at 21.0.

Across their previous 3 regular season games, the Cardinals have a straight-up record of just 0-3. In a similar fashion, the team's record vs the spread in these games was just 2-1. Their over-under record in this span was 1-2.

Through their last 3 games, the 49ers have a record of 3-0. In addition, their ATS record over this stretch is 2-1 while posting a 2-1 over-under mark.

In their last 3 home games, San Francisco has averaged 35.0 points per game while allowing 14.7. The team's record in this stretch was 3-0 while going 3-0.
