This is a division matchup between 2 disappointing teams to begin the season. Carson Palmer looks his age and certainly is playing like it. With all the quality on offense, the Cardinals should have a much better record. The 49ers, I believe will need time to learn the sophisticated offensive schemes of Brian Kelly and his staff. They have a long way to go and have very limited offensive talent o perform at the high level that this system requires. We'll see if Gabbert is the answer, only time will tell, but from what I've seen offensively everybody could use a tune-up. The defense is a bright spot for the 49ers, but again needs a strong and decisive hand to guide it and there really hasn't been any player that has stepped up to the plate and assumed the role of team leader. Best guess on this game for me is low scoring and a great UNDER play. GL Y'all

Bowman was the leader of the Niners defence. With Palmer out I agree the under is the best play . However , I think I will stay away from this game. Much better games to choose from this weekend .

A pair of NFC West teams with vastly different expectations coming into the season square off on Thursday Night. The Cardinals were a Super Bowl favorite headed into the year, however they are now 1-3 and down their starting QB. The defense has been solid all year, allowing an opponent 38% offensive success rate and 4.8 YPP. Despite these gaudy defensive numbers, opposing teams have been able to still average 20 Points per Game (ppg). Offensively while they have not had the success with the deep ball as previous years, but Stanton in place of Palmer will be a dropoff. The Niners have faced a difficult schedule, facing three 3-1 teams and the defending NFC super bowl representative. It will be a tough test on a short week against a stout Cardinals defense. Defensively the Niners have been average, giving up a 47% success rate, although as with the Cardinals, they are giving up more points than expected, allowing 27 points per game, which is partly due to the average 31.6 Starting field position the opposing offenses have enjoyed. Carson Palmer to Drew Stanton is a 3.8 point dropoff. The spread has moved accordingly. However, totals wise these are two offensively challenged teams with two defenses that have outperformed the scores allowed. Value on the Under, so UNDER (43). No opinion on the side.

49ers+low today. Expect to see at least one pick in the end zone thrown by Stanton. He is just awful. he was 4 of 11 with just 47 yards and 2 picks versus the Rams 23rd ranked pass defense.
Don't look too far into this one. 49ers+low for the win.
