Unsportsmanlike Conduct - Week Twelve

By Sports Magician

Don't expect a Monday Night Football classic tonight as two teams from the worst division in the National Football League go head to head in what is comically a "big" game. The Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers are both 3-7 this season and yet the victor on Monday night will find themselves just one game out of the division lead! The NFC West division winner will host a game in the playoffs and I’m already licking my lips at the prospect of being able to back whoever the visitor may be in January. There is barely a team in the Wild Card race that I don’t think would go on the road to the division winner of the NFC West and win, but that’s something to look at more closely come the playoffs.

The over/under line for Monday night is at 40.5. The 49ers will rely on their running game to chew up the clock and shorten the game while Derek Anderson has been unable to get much of anything going through the air for the Cardinals; a low scoring affair is on the cards. The 49ers should sneak a win, but betting on either side to win is best avoided as neither side can be trusted to put four quarters together.

WEEK TWELVE SELECTION:

PICK: 2*ARIZONA CARDINALS / SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS TOTAL MATCH POINTS UNDER 40.5 @ 1.91 (BET365)
