12 scores Week 3: Cardinals Visit 49ers After a Week of Opposite Directions
Read the full recap →The Arizona Cardinals visit the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, September 27. Arizona is 1-1 after a 31-7 home loss to Seattle in which it gained 151 yards and Jacoby Brissett threw for 95, and cornerback Will Johnson could miss the season with a neck injury. San Francisco is 2-0 after a 35-13 win over Miami in which Brock Purdy went 20 of 22 for 287 yards; receiver De'Zhaun Stribling is out about 10 weeks and tight end Jake Tonges is done for the season. Wednesday update: San Francisco put C.J. West on injured reserve, DeMarcus Robinson is out three to six weeks, and Mike Evans is being managed through a sore hip.
Purdy's start
Twenty of 22 against Miami and three touchdowns against the Rams; the 49ers have scored 62 points.
Arizona's Week 1 was the outlier
The Cardinals beat the Chargers in Week 1's biggest upset, then managed 151 yards against Seattle.
San Francisco's receiver depth
Stribling and Pearsall are out, Christian Kirk cannot return until after Week 4; George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are the offense.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 13-27 (Cardinals vs 49ers), final was 30-36. Right winner, but this High-confidence pick was a 6-point game instead of a 14-point one. Brock Purdy threw four touchdown passes, including an 80-yard score on a lateral to Deebo Samuel. Jacoby Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes and Arizona held the ball for nearly 39 minutes. The 49ers lost Trent Williams, Dre Greenlaw and Mike Evans to injuries.
Cardinals 49ers San Francisco is the most efficient offense in the league through two weeks
Purdy has 12 incompletions in two games; Arizona just allowed 381 yards to Seattle.
Arizona's offense has one good game
Twenty-six points in Los Angeles, seven at home, and now a road trip to a defense that held Miami to six through three quarters.
The Cardinals' secondary lost Johnson
Starling Thomas steps in against Kittle and McCaffrey; the projection is two scores.
The second of the week's two widest leans. Arizona's win in Los Angeles keeps the model from going higher.
