NFL odds: How to bet 49ers vs. Cardinals, picks, point spread, more
In a quirk in the NFL schedule, the teams in the NFC West will play a division foe for the second consecutive week.
The San Francisco 49ers (2-2) travel to Arizona to take on the first-place Cardinals (4-0), who look to extend their division lead with a victory. The Cardinals are a 5.5 point favorite and the 49ers are 1-5-1 against the spread (ATS) in their past seven games against Arizona.
Being on the road might not be a bad thing for the 49ers as they are 2-0 this season away from San Francisco.
The 49ers hold a 32-27 edge in the all-time series, though the Cardinals have won nine of the past 12 meetings, including eight in a row from 2015-18. And Arizona is 5-1-1 in its past seven games against San Francisco.
The Cardinals are led by quarterback Kyler Murray, who is emerging as the favorite for the NFL MVP.
The No. 1 overall pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma via Texas A&M followed up winning the Heisman Trophy for the Sooners by claiming the NFL offensive rookie of the year award in 2019.
While Murray is having an MVP-caliber season, the 49ers could have an issue at quarterback.
Starter Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a right calf injury against Seattle on Sunday, and the 49ers haven't announced if he will play against the Cardinals though Garoppolo said he may be out for a bit.
"It feels like just the calf right now," Garoppolo said. "I'm hopeful it will just be a couple of weeks or something like that."
If so, rookie Trey Lance, the No. 3 overall pick out of North Dakota State, would make his first NFL start.
