49ers vs Arizona Cardinals Odds and Predictions

The 101^st season of the National Football League (NFL) is set to begin on September 10^th with Chiefs taking on Texans in the inaugural with numerous games lined up for the Sunday night. The regular season is expected to go on until the 3^rd of Jan 2021 with the Super Bowl played on February 7^th 2021.

But the game that has excited the fans is the one between 49ers and Cardinals on Sunday. The 49ers had an amazing 2019 season by clinching the NFC West in addition to the number one seed. They also advanced to the NFC Championship game and then to Super Bowl before throwing away a lead against the Chiefs.

Looking at the Cardinals last season, they had a dismal performance overall by finishing 4^th in NFC West and failed to qualify for the play-offs despite putting up a better performance than 2018. Even though the 49ers are heavily favored in this, Cardinals have little to lose.
