San Francisco 49ers

In the past few years the Cardinals may not have much to look forward to but they always had the 49ers twice on the schedule to look forward to.  The Cardinals have pretty much had their way with them in recent times.

However after a come from behind 24-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, they may be on the rise with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and their tough defense, now at 3-0.  The 49ers have also defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now, we’ll see more of who the 49ers really are when they play stronger competition.  That stronger competition right now does not look to be the Cardinals.  Their streak of losing to them may be coming to an end this season.

There is still a lot of football left, so we’ll see.  The Cardinals play two out of three games against them starting on Thursday night October 31st in Glendale.  Then after a game against the Bucs, they have a return matchup back at Levi’s Stadium.
