MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM: The trends favor the Cards
IF I HAD $100 FREE BETS: How to wager on USA-Wales
KEY FACTS: The line has surged from 8 and the Total has dipped as reports surfaced that Kyler Murray (hamstring) could miss his second straight game. Backup Colt McCoy is 3-1 as a starter since 2021, and he was solid (26-for-37, 238 yards) in Arizona’s 27-17 win over the Rams last week. WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is also questionable.
TRENDING: The Cardinals have owned the 49ers, going 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine meetings. The Over ↗️ has hit in four straight Arizona games.
EXPERT PICKS
PointsBet studio host Ryan Leaf and PointsBet Senior Editor Teddy Greenstein are fired up for MNF. Here's what they like.
THE BIG NAME
49ers-Cardinals Over 42.5 (-107)
"The Cardinals might be better off with Colt McCoy, and San Fran has improved its weapons."
Christian McCaffrey Anytime TD (-170)
"CMC has become a Jimmy G favorite. Expect a ton of targets in the red zone."
THE BETTOR
George Kittle Over 50.5 Receiving Yards (-105)
"The Cards' defense is soft in the middle, allowing 7.5 receptions per game to TEs."
49ers-49ers Halftime/Full time (-170)
"I like the Niners but am wary of laying 10. Here I just need 'em to lead at the half and win."

From noted capper Jon Eimer (@BucketJonBets on Twitter):
⚽ [$50] Wales Draw No Bet (+115): Neither side wants to concede first in this battle of youth versus experience. I’m expecting a cagey, tight match with Wales having a slightly better chance to break the stalemate.
⚽ [$25] Draw (+200): With a draw being a good result for both sides, we expect slow and careful play – unlike England vs. Iran.
⚽ [$25] Gareth Bale Anytime Goalscorer (+230): The greatest Welsh player in its nation’s history has a golden left foot.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey ⬆️ 35.5 Receiving Yards (-130): CMC has gone over this total in five of his last six games.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel ⬇️ 50.5 Receiving Yards (-115): There’s only one football. And with the Cards allowing a league-high 77.7 yards to TEs, we figure George Kittle will get more looks.
Cardinals RB James Conner ⬆️ 50.5 Rushing Yards (-105): Conner carried the rock 21 times last week. And given Murray’s hamstring issue, expect more of the same.
Bills (-9.5) @ Lions (12:30p E.T. Thursday): Can Detroit stuff Buffalo for its fourth straight win?
Giants (+8.5) @ Cowboys (4:30 p.m. ET): Can Micah Parsons gobble up Daniel Jones?
Patriots (+3) @ Vikings (8:20 p.m. ET): Will the Vikings kick their food coma?
Michigan (+7.5) @ Ohio State (12 p.m. ET Saturday): Ohio State got outgained (402-401) by Maryland. Michigan needed four Jake Moody field goals to rally past Illinois. The Wolverines need improvement from QB J.J. McCarthy and a healthy Blake Corum (18 TDs).
