NFL Betting Odds - 49ers Vs Arizona Cardinals
NFL betting odds would not figure to contain a pair of 3-7 squads as playoff contenders but that’s going to be the situation in Monday’s matchup with football wagering probabilities. Football gambling prospects oddsmakers will have their choice of the 49ers and Arizona Cardinals as both squads have the great fortune of competing in the National Football Conference West which will keep their playoff hopes alive with the NFL gambling lines.
The Arizona Cardinals will host the San Francisco 49ers on ESPN Monday Night Football with kickoff slated for 8:40 PM ET. The online sportsbook started out with San Francisco as a 1 point fave with an over/under of 39.5.
The Cardinals sponsor the 49ers in Monday Night Football Week 12 of the 2010 NFL year. The 49ers are 3rd in the National Football Conference West with a 3-7-0 record. The Arizona Cardinals have the same record, which lands them in 4th for the NFC West. The champion of this matchup will continue to be in the NFC West race while the loser will likely be out of the money for the rest of the way.
The 49ers have a record of 3-7 both straight up along with the NFL gambling prospects. The san francisco 49ers were touted as the fave to win the NFC West but fumbled from the gate with a 0-5 start. Troy Smith took control for Alex Smith in the middle of the losing streak and has performed well with a 90.8 Qb rating. The san francisco 49ers were locked out 21-0 at home by the Bucs Sunday, possibly reinvigorating debate at the qb position for the Red and Gold. Tampa hadn’t won in California in a long time, and it had been even longer since the 49ers were locked out at Candlestick Park.
Frank Gore stabilizes the attack with 801 yards rushing. The 49ers entered the season noted for a strong defense and they rate 13th in total in pro football. San Francisco was locked out at home last week by Tampa Bay 21-0.
The Cardinals have a record of 3-7 each straight up and with the football betting odds as seven of their competitions have gone over the total. Arizona failed to find a replacement at quarterback for retired future Hall of Famer Kurt Warner because Derek Anderson is back in the slot following briefly losing the position to Max Hall.
Anderson has a pathetic 70.3 Quarterback rating and 7/8 touchdown/interception percentage. Timothy Hightower has been the leading offensive performer with 438 yards plus a 4.8 yards per carry average. The Arizona Cardinals are slid significantly on both sides of the line seeing that they rank 31st for offense and 29th for defense.
San Francisco has paid out in 12 of their past seventeen decisions with pro football wagering prospects after a straight up loss. San Francisco has paid out in 4 straight trips to Arizona and the road team is 8-1 vs the spread in this series with 5 of the last 6 meetings in Arizona beating the total.
