Monday Night Late Game

Best trend of the season: The Cardinals organization has an 87 season streak of almost all bad football. Talent is improved a little this year, but with a new coach and new system to grow accustomed to, it will be a process, not an event. On the other side, the 49ers are a once proud franchise that had to go back to the drawing board recently. On offense, there are several playmakers, on defense, some solid veterans have been added. This line speaks to a perception that the Cards are the team on the rise, but the 49ers are the real riser and should be a 3-5 point neutral field favorite, not a PICK. 49ers(-3) 27 AZ 16 [1$].
