Arizona Under (45) for 1.5 Units
The Cardinals are thought of as this explosive spread offensive team but their defense is highly underrated as well. They have play-makers at every level of defense and should give the 49ers' offense trouble. In recent weeks, SF virtually abandoned their run game for a spread offense. QB Alex Smith has some quality targets, including Pro Bowl TE in Davis however, we like the Cardinals defense to put its camps down on the 49ers' offense that is in a transition phase. SF's defense, on the other hand, can do some pretty good things remember, they frustrated Warner earlier in the year and held Peton Manning's Colts to under 20 points at Indianapolis. We realize CB Clements is out but SF's defensive scheme is well coached and they're capable of limiting big plays because of their ability to rush the passer. Technically, AZ is 0-4 O/U as a road favorite and 1-6 O/U after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. SF is 2-7 O/U off a SU loss and 0-5 O/U vs the NFC West. "Under" the call.

3* CARDINALS / 49ERS OVER
We'll follow along with the OU pattern of this NFC WEST Division series... which has seen the SECOND meeting each season go 6-1 O/U in the last 7 years. Average combined points in this second meeting is 52.8... about a full touchdown MORE than tonight's OU Line.
Speaking of NFC WEST division battles, let's hit the Playbook NFL database to see if we can come up with something else to back us up. 7-0 O/U since 2000!
All NFC WEST division games in the month of DECEMBER... when the host is off a SU loss (like the NINERS)... and the visitor is off a SU win (like the CARDS).
It's always important to take a look at current YTD Systems and Scenarios. Some players don't want to look back TOO far in the past. All they care about is what's been happening in this CURRENT season. These queries are for them. One of em is a situation that we have been following actively for the last month. It pertains to teams (like the Niners) who lost a game the previous week that they SHOULD have won.
20-7 O/U this season: All NFL Underdogs playing off a SU favorite loss (NINERS). If these dogs are playing a DIVISION opponent, the results shoot up to 9-2 O/U. And 'short' division dogs of 4 < points (again, like the NINERS) have gone a PERFECT 5-0 O/U.
5-1 O/U in 2009: All division dogs off a loss (SF) vs any division opponent off a SU win (ARZ).
Let's take a look at the MONDAY NIGHT divisional aspect to this game.
5-0 O/U last 3 seasons: All MONDAY night divisional HOME Underdogs (SF)... If these teams are playing off a SU loss, the numbers are a PERFECT 6-0 O/U going all the way back to the last 6 seasons.
21-6 O/U since 2004: All GAME 12 > home dogs of < 10 points with a current W/L percentage of .450 or less (NINERS)... vs any opponent with a current W/L percentage of .666 > (CARDS). If our less than < .500 host is off a loss (SF), the results improve to 17-4 O/U... and 11-1 O/U in the last 4 seasons.
The Cardinals play off a home DOG win last Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings.. .and a close road loss to the Tennessee Titans in the week before that.
6-0 O/U Since 2003: All NFL road teams playing off a SU home DOG win... and a SU road loss BUT an ATS win (CARDS).

Cardinals vs. 49'ers
The Red Birds are (0-4) ATS as Monday Night Football road favorites and the 49'ers are (5-0) ATS off a loss against .500 or better opposition under HC Mike Singletary. Singletary has cashed winning tickets at a (8-1-1) ATS rate when installed as an underdog and SF has been a thorn in the side of Arizona with ATS wins in 3 of the past 4 contests in this series. Home Dog barks loudest in this game. 5* Pot of Gold San Francisco 49'ers

3* Monday Night NFL Bookie Buster (4-1 MNF Run)
3* Take the Arizona Cardinals ATS
This pick falls into one of my top NFL systems and the Cardinals are the overall superior team here while playing great football the last couple of weeks. The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and they are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against a team that has a losing record. The Cardinals are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games played on a grass field and they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Road team is a perfect 8-0 ATS in the last 8 games between these two teams and the Cardinals are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 trips to San Francisco. Take Arizona as my Monday Night Football Bookie Buster.
