The San Francisco 49ers (0-8) will host their NFC West rivals when the Arizona Cardinals (3-4) come to town for a divisional clash between two outfits fighting to stay out of the basement. The contest will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The two teams enter in this affair on eerily similar notions, as both were whacked in their most previous outings. The Niners come in off a yet another rout sustained at the hands of the NFL’s best team according to the power ratings, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cards come in off a bye but previous to this they were shutout by the Los Angeles Rams in a 33-0 pummeling in the City of Angels. Between both parties, the Cardinals have won the last five meetings overall. The story behind this game is the Gold Rush’s recent acquisition of Patriots reserve quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who many are optimistic could finally catalyze this anemic offense. The scheduled kick off time is 4:05 PM ET and will be televised for regional demographics on FOX.
