Jeremy Cluff writes: “We expect a much better effort from the Cardinals at home after the team’s embarrassing performance in the loss to the Seahawks in Week 11. But, the 49ers are coming off a loss and haven’t lost back-to-back games all season.”

Bill Speros writes: “The San Francisco 49ers (6-4) Sunday received a reminder of just how far they’ve fallen in the NFC West. The Rams rolled into Santa Clara and dropped 42 points on their depleted defense in a 16-point victory. More impressively, LA held CMC to just 30 yards on 12 carries. SF QB Mac Jones threw for 319 yards and 3 TDs, but the bulk came in garbage time. The Cardinals (3-6), meanwhile, got doubled up at home by the Seattle Seahawks 44-22. They trailed 38-7 at the half. In this battle of stinkers, the 49ers bring the air freshener and re-establish their running game to grab the win and cover in our Week 11 NFL Best Bets.”

Matt Johnson writes: “The Arizona Cardinals lost in heartbreaking fashion to the San Francisco 49ers, 16-15, in their meeting back in September. Fast forward to Week 11, the 49ers’ defense has been destroyed by injuries, and Arizona is starting a quarterback who executes this offense more effectively. Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle will almost lead San Francisco to victory, but it will be the big plays from Marvin Harrison Jr and Trey McBride that win it for Arizona at home.”
