Monday Night Football Betting Primer San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals (+10 | O/U: 43)
Matchup Preview
NFC West rivals meet in Mexico City, as the San Francisco 49ers look to continue their winning ways vs the Arizona Cardinals. Backup QB Colt McCoy will once again start for Arizona, but he has performed admirably in this spot, boasting a perfect 3-0 record as the Cards’ backup on the road. Further, despite his shortcomings HC Kliff Kingsbury has an exceptional 20-8-2 ATS record away from home in his Arizona tenure. Keen bettors are aware of the allure in backing Kingsbury in this spot, however doing so blindly against the 49ers would be unwise.
The 49ers boast elite talent at nearly every position, and will hold matchup advantages across the board in tonight’s game. San Francisco has rightfully emerged as a popular pick to win the NFC, and can claim the NFC West lead with a victory tonight. There are few who would pick against the 49ers to win this game outright, but San Fran and QB Jimmy Garoppolo have historically struggled under the weight of expectations, and in any game against the Cardinals.
San Francisco was favored by 8 points over the weekend, and such line movement their way should signal them to be the side to back tonight-- but is there still value in the number?. Further, it has historically been a layup to back the favorite in international games, but should we expect this to be the case tonight?
