Cardinals at Niners
T
his is a much bigger Monday Night Football betting game than many people are aware of. In fact, this may be the more important games of the week in terms of deciding a division title. The Cardinals (8-4) are currently in first place in the NFC West with a healthy three-game lead over the Niners (5-7). But a San Fran win here put a whole complexion on this division race.
True, three games is a stout lead, especially with less than a month of football left to play and the odds of the Niners winning are not the healthiest. But if the home team can win this Monday Night football betting matchup things would get very interesting in the NFC West.
If the Niners triumph in the Monday Night football odds they will be two games out of the division lead with three games left to play. And, more than that, they would own any tie-breaker against the Cards by virtue of teams’ head-to-head record (2-0 in favor of San Fran).
That’s a huge ‘if’, no doubt about it, but that’s why they play the game and that’s what makes these Monday Night football betting contests so interesting.
The Niners are coming off a ridiculous loss to Seattle and desperately need a win. The Cards on the other hand are playing some of the best football in franchise history and after knocking off a very good Minnesota squad are now serious playoff contenders.
The Red Birds are favored by a very slim three points but were spanked by the Niners in their first meeting. However, that was a very different team than the week 14 version and the Cards will this game and the division with relative ease.
