Week 5 vs. Arizona Cardinals – LOSS

The 49ers were unfortunate not to claim a shock home win over the Cardinals in 2015, a series of questionable decisions going against them in a 19-13 defeat.

However, this is a Cardinals team that has improved again, with a defense that has little regard for the 49ers offense, bolstered by the additions of Chandler Jones and Robert Nkemdiche.

This game comes on another short week for the 49ers, and the defense figures to be especially tired having been tested by a talented Cowboys team.

Expect the Cardinals to take advantage and record a Thursday night victory.
