Cardinals vs 49ers Predictions, Odds, Lines, Spread, Picks, and Preview - Week 18 | January 8 | 2022 NFL Football Season

Two NFC West rivals with completely different outlooks are ready to conclude their regular season.

The Arizona Cardinals are taking their annual trip to San Francisco amid a six-game losing streak. This offseason seems like it's going to bring major changes, but for now, the focus will be on taking down the Niners. However, they'll have to compete without Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and James Conner.

San Francisco has clinched the NFC West already, but the top seed in the NFC is still in play, so they're going to be playing for that opportunity today. They'll also be seeking a tenth straight win before the playoffs begin.

The 49ers have something to play for, and the Cardinals can spoil their divisional foe's dreams. Let's see which team will close out their season the right way.

Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Prediction

San Francisco should thoroughly dominate the Cardinals again. They are playing their starters, and along with obviously wanting to win, they'll probably try to build a large enough lead to rest in the second half.

The Cardinals' offense should struggle again, and their defense still won't be able to stop San Francisco's offense. The spread is large, but it shouldn't be a problem for the Niners today.

Prediction: San Francisco 49ers -14.5 (-105)
