Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3
This matchup also has an interesting history when it comes to totals. Six of the last seven meetings between these teams have gone over the posted number, suggesting a track record of high-scoring divisional clashes. Arizona’s defensive issues in stopping the pass, combined with San Francisco’s inconsistency in slowing down the run, point toward another game where points could come in bunches. Bettors will need to decide whether Arizona’s momentum and ATS strength outweigh San Francisco’s offensive firepower and desperation for a statement win at home.

Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3: Arizona
Now in this Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3, we have the Arizona betting preview.
Arizona has been a strong team against the spread over the last year, going 9-4 in their past 13 games, and even pulled off a stunning 47-24 upset over San Francisco in January. The Cardinals have leaned on a balanced offense that mixes a solid run game with opportunistic passing, though they still rank just 27th in passing yards. Their ability to avoid costly mistakes, especially turnovers, has made them competitive in nearly every game, and their track record at Levi’s Stadium—seven wins in their last ten trips—suggests they can once again push the 49ers.

Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3: San Francisco
Now in this Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3, we have the San Francisco betting preview.
San Francisco, on the other hand, has been unreliable at the betting window. The 49ers are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 and have struggled against NFC West opponents with a 2-6 record over their past eight divisional games. However, their offense has shown flashes, ranking sixth in the league in passing yards per game at 266, and they have one of the NFL’s best time-of-possession advantages. Their home-field record against Arizona, however, has been a point of concern, especially with five of the last seven games at Levi’s going over the total. That combination makes totals betting just as intriguing as picking a side.
Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3: San Francisco Trends
Next in this Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions NFL Week 3, we have the San Francisco trends:
- Over the course of their most recent eleven games, San Francisco has achieved a win-loss record of 3 to 8 against the spread.

- The San Francisco team has a record of 3 wins and 7 losses over its most recent ten games.
