Cardinals vs 49ers coverage
Who Has The Edge?
Pos. | Cardinals | Analysis | 49ers |
QB |  | A two-time MVP that hasn't thrown a pick in 4 games vs a former 1st- overall pick that's just showcasing his talent. | |
RB | | A year ago I would've easily handed this to the 49ers, but this year the Cardinals are the better rushing team. | |
WR | | Crabtree and Morgan look promising, but Fitz, Q, and Breaston out-due any team. | |
TE | Vernon Davis is turning into one of the better tight ends in the league. No contest. |  | |
OL | | Going with the stats on this one - 49ers line has allowed 32 sacks, Cards have allowed 18. | |
DL | | This one's a split for the simple fact that the 49ers defensive line is very good when playing the Cardinals. | |
LB | Even if Takeo Spikes is out, Patrick Willis makes the 49er's defense one of the best against the run. | | |
CB | The 49ers defensive backs haven't given up as many big plays as the Cardinals DBs. They also seem to step it up against the Cardinals. | | |
S | | Adrian Wilson usually | |
ST | | Most ST stats were close till I saw one thing - 1 return TD for the Cards by LSH, 1 allowed by the 49ers to Percy Harvin. | |
COACH | | Ken Whisenhunt has his team set to win the NFC West for the 2nd year in a row. Easy pick. I do like Singletary though. | |
EDGE | 8-4 | In the end the Cardinals should hold the edge and should win tonight's game. They're the better team and are ready for the playoffs. The game will be closer then what this shows though. |
