Arizona at San Francisco Game Preview
Why Arizona Will Win
The running game has the pieces to rise up.
Kyler Murray might be hurting, and the defense isn’t enough of a rock to pick up the slack against a team as solid as the 49ers, but the Cardinals have a 1-2 rushing tandem of James Conner and Chase Edmonds to carry the team.

The pass defense is among the best in the NFL, the D is great at getting off the field, and it was able to hold Arizona to 17 points in the first game – and that was when Murray was healthy.

The 49ers haven’t been all that sharp offensively and the defense hasn’t been as good as it needs to be against the run, and that’s about to be a problem in this, too.
They held Arizona to under 100 yards on the ground in the first meeting, but they’re about to get hit hard by Conner and Edmonds with a different sort of performance by the Cardinals.
