No. 3: The defense will have two interceptions

In the first matchup against San Francisco, quarterback Kyler Murray had a turnover-free day against the vaunted 49ers defense.

This was something even Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was unable to do.

But that was at Arizona, and the atmosphere in California will be much different.

Against the Seahawks last week, the defense was almost able to win the game by itself. This unit didn’t concede any touchdowns not as the result of a turnover by the offense.

Against the Cardinals, they should remain on top of their game.

I expect the defense to overwhelm the Cardinals, and force Murray into some errant passes to be picked off.

If the 49ers defense can do that, the game could end up not being nearly as close this time around.
