San Francisco tries to end a 2-game run of futility at home when they host the Arizona Cardinals Sunday at Monster Park. The Cardinals play into revenge Sunday, after handing San Francisco a 31-14 defeat in the last meeting back on October 2, 2005. The Cardinals know San Francisco will be looking to prove oddsmakers, who made them 3-point home underdogs, made a mistake in this one. San Francisco is 5-6 ATS, while the Cardinals are 3-8 ATS. The total opened at 44. After losing last week, Dennis Green's team looks to bounce back with a solid showing on the road Sunday in San Francisco.

They lost as a 9-point underdog. The closing total of 43 played over. Perhaps home field advantage can do something about an ugly stat looming as an obstacle for the 49ers. They rank 32nd in the league against the pass, while Arizona will test them with their #2 passing offence.

Arizona is 2-9-0 SU in its last 11 games after scoring 10 to 20 points
