49ers game today vs. Cardinals: Injury report, spread, over/under, schedule, stream, TV channel

The 49ers host the Cardinals for Round 2 of this season’s NFC West series, and we’ve got your latest injury news, betting info and how you can watch.

The San Francisco 49ers nearly pulled off an upset over the Arizona Cardinals back in Week 5 when these two teams met last, ultimately falling 17-10 in a game where the Niners defense managed to hold quarterback Kyler Murray and Co. in check for the bulk of the game.

Now at 3-4, San Francisco will hope to generate even more of that same defensive success, especially considering Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins could both miss Sunday’s bout with injuries.

Meaning fans will be treated to a very different quarterbacking battle than the one they witnessed in Week 5 between Murray and 49ers rookie Trey Lance. This time around, it’ll likely be the Niners’ Jimmy Garoppolo against the Cards’ Colt McCoy.

Advantage: San Francisco?

49ers injury report vs. Cardinals Week 9

The Niners are actually hoping to receive some key reinforcements for Week 9 at home versus 7-1 Arizona, potentially getting tight end George Kittle off injured reserve after he aggravated a calf injury suffered in Week 4.

Yet the following players still showed up on San Francisco’s Week 9 injury report:

• DL Maurice Hurst (calf): OUT
• RB Elijah Mitchell (ribs): Questionable
• WR Deebo Samuel (calf): Questionable
• DB Jimmie Ward (quad): OUT
• EDGE Dee Ford (back): Questionable

Signs are pointing to both Mitchell and Samuel being active for game day, fortunately, which bodes well for the Niners, who’ll look to exploit the fact the Cardinals are allowing an average of 4.9 rush yards per carry against, second worst in the NFL entering Week 9.

49ers vs. Cardinals odds, spread, over/under & betting pick Week 9

Before news of Murray’s potential absence, the oddsmakers over at WynnBET actually listed the Cardinals as 2.5-point favorites.

Now, the line has shifted considerably with San Francisco currently listed as the 2.5-point home favorite.

The Niners’ moneyline for this contest is -105, whereas Arizona’s is -120. The over/under for the game is currently set at 45.0.

If McCoy is forced to start, it’s certainly understandable why the line has moved in head coach Kyle Shanahan’s favor, meaning a prediction for a 24-13 San Francisco victory would give the Niners not only the much-needed victory but also the pride in covering the spread.
