This season the Cardinals are 1-0 at home and the 49ers are 0-1 on the road.
In their last games the Cardinals beat the New York Giants 25-14 and the 49ers lost to the Chicago Bears 28-20.
Wait a minute the Cardinals are at 2-0 and all alone in first place in the NFC West? The 49ers are coming off a home loss to the Chicago Bears? Well, those are the facts and despite that the 49ers are the road betting favourite in this division encounter.

This game may show if the Cardinals are for real or not. In their last game they beat a struggling Giants team, but in their first game they beat a Chargers’ team that is coming off a win over the Seahawks.
The 49ers looked like they were cruising to a win over the Bears before they gave up 21 points in the 4th quarter to lose. While they held Jay Cutler to only 176 yards passing he had 4 TD and 0 INT. Arizona QB Carson Palmer is a question mark for this game with a shoulder injury and if he cannot go Drew Stanton will get the start.
Andre Ellington is averaging over 5 yards per carry on the season and rushed for 91 yards in the win over New York. While the 49ers allowed DeMarco Murray to rush for 118 yards in the opening win over the Cowboys they held the Bears to a grand total of 46 rushing yards. Ellington will have to play a big role in this game, especially if Palmer cannot go.
The main reason the Cardinals beat the Giants was that they forced 4 turnovers. On the flip side the 49ers lost because they committed 4 turnovers against the Bears.
While Colin Kaepernick has a legit WR corps and TE Vernon Davis and passed for nearly 250 yards in the Chicago game he was picked off 3 times and sacked 4 times. Arizona only ranks 22nd in the league in pass D and it is key that their pass rush not let Kaepernick get out side and pass and pick up rushing yards.
The big match up in this game may be Kaepernick and Frank Gore facing a Arizona run defense that ranks 3rd in the league and stuffed the run against the Giants.

Gore had a good game against Chicago and look for the 49ers to feed him more, as he is averaging 4.4 yards per carry on the season.
