The Cardinals secured an impressive 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams last week and will try to take a stranglehold of the NFC West with a win over San Francisco on Sunday. Arizona has dominated its rivalry with the 49ers in recent years, winning nine of its last 12 meetings against San Francisco. Plus, the Cardinals are 5-1 against the spread in its last six games played in October.
The model is predicting that Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray throws for 240 yards and two touchdowns against the 49ers, which helps Arizona cover the spread in well over 50 percent of simulations. The under (53) also has value in this NFC West clash since it hits nearly 60 percent of the time.
