STEPHEN NOVER | NFL SIDE SUN, 10/07/18 - 4:25 PM
469 ARI 4.5 (-110) Greek vs 470 SFX
triple-dime bet
Analysis:
No, not without Jimmy Garoppolo can the 49ers lay this many points, especially given their battered condition.
San Francisco is 1-11 in their la‡st 12 games when Garoppolo hasn't been its starting quarterback. C.J. Beathard is back behind center with Garoppolo done for the season. The 49ers also are without tailback Jerick McKinnon and maybe their best offensive lineman as Joe Staley was injured this past Sunday.
The Cardinals are 0-4, the lone remaining winless team in the NFL. They are desperate for a victory. The 49ers haven't defeated the Cardinals since Jim Harbaugh was their coach.
Arizona has improved each week. The Cardinals lost at the gun, 20-17, to the Seahawks this past Sunday and were leading the Bears with under five minutes left two weeks ago before losing, 16-14.
The Cardinals are far more competive with rookie Josh Rosen at quarterback rather than timid Sam Bradford. Rosen played a good game against the Seahawks in his first NFL start. He was 15-of-27 for 180 yards with one touchdown pass and no interceptions. He had completions to seven different receivers. His statistics would have looked better if not for five dropped passes.
Rosen faces a 49ers defense that lacks edge pass rushers and has multiple injuries to their secondary.

GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER) 26-10 YTD
I'm playing on CHELSEA (3* GAME OF MONTH). Off back-to-back draws, Chelsea is going to be extremely motivated to pick up the maximum number of points here and I feel that the price could easily be higher. With this being the last match before the International Break and with the team being essentially at full health, there's no reason to hold back. These teams last met in the FA Cup semifinal last season. Chelsea won easily, 2-0. Expect Chelsea, one of three undefeated teams in the Premier League, to finish on top, once again.

Rotation #453-454
Jaguars +3 over Chiefs
Lost in the shuffle of how great Patrick Mahomes has been is the fact this Chiefs Defense has to be the worst in the NFL. Mahomes in my opinion is going to be a great QB. This guy is great at eluding the pass rush and turning water into wine. Some players have the ability to turn nothing into something. I do however dislike the hype for the young guy. He has faced bad defenses so far and last week the Broncos really shut him out until the 4th quarter where the flukiest of plays kept drives going and the play clock hitting zero without a penalty happened. I take nothing away from Mahomes, but you are not going to get that luck every week. The Jaguars are a more complete football team and their defense is the best in the league. Can this young QB for the Chiefs beat back to back championship level defenses in two weeks and on a short week? Jacksonville should be able to run on the Chiefs just like every other team has done this year. The Jaguars have already gotten over the hump on becoming an elite team. The Chiefs are almost there and of course have to win playoff games. I think the hype is a little too much. Take the Jaguars.
