Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers – Free Predictions and Forecasts – NFL – 11/16/2025

Context of the Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers match National Football League - Wikipedia

San Francisco arrives in Arizona in an unstable context to challenge the Cardinals, still shaken by injuries and without a real offensive backbone. Brock Purdy returns, possibly with Ricky Pearsall, but the momentum isn’t there. The severe setback faced against the Rams mainly revealed the shortcomings of a team that often lives beyond its means this season. Meanwhile, the Cardinals remain modest in the standings but surprisingly solid in the air, led by a Jacoby Brissett who is doing more than just filling in.

The keys to the Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers duel Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers

What intrigues most here is the contrast between the image the Niners project and what they actually produce. Defensively, they generate almost no pass rush, and their coverage no longer inspires the same fear. As a result: Brissett should have more time than usual, especially after a game where he survived five sacks against a much more threatening defense.

The other central point: Arizona defends the pass remarkably well this season. Ninth in DVOA, eighth in yards per attempt allowed, despite a light roster. Even a poor game against Seattle doesn’t change the trend. San Francisco, on the other hand, advances without stability both at the quarterback position and in the rotation of its playmakers. This weighs heavily, especially against a disciplined defense.

Result: Arizona Cardinals +3.5

The Cardinals are far from perfect, but in this specific duel, the intensity, the matchup, and recent form favor them. Brissett has the means to keep pace against a 49ers defense that no longer intimidates, while Purdy returns in a messy environment.

First of all, a word about our predictions

  • What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport remains what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal out of nowhere… and the scenario changes completely.
  • Let’s be clear: there is no bet without risk. Even when it seems “obvious,” nothing is really so. And yes, it means you can lose. It is even inevitable at one point or another.
  • The best approach is to remain reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Never touch money you need to live. And above all: don’t chase your losses, it rarely ends well.
  • A bet should remain a game, not a job or a source of income. If you feel it’s taking too much space in your daily life, that it annoys you or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, talk to a specialized organization. That’s what they are for.
  • In the end, the responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and that it will never go away, even with the best analysis in the world.
  • Essential reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can quickly spiral out of control (loss of money, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK ? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/

No commitment on our part

Our predictions do not constitute a contract. They have no legal effect. In plain terms: you cannot rely on them to claim anything if a bet does not win.

Information that changes

A prediction is always based on what we know at the time of writing. But in the meantime, a team composition (like that of the Cardinals) changes, a player gets injured, the weather worsens… and the analysis can quickly become outdated. We cannot be held responsible for that.

Your role

Before betting, just check that betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.

Responsible gaming above all

We cannot emphasize this enough: play in moderation. If you have trouble keeping control, do not wait to seek help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
