The 49ers earned a spot in the playoffs last week, and now they can secure a second straight berth NFC West title this week.
The 49ers (10-3) control their own destiny on Sunday, with a win or draw against the Arizona Cardinals making San Francisco the division champion. However, if the 49ers lose, they can still win the West if the Los Angeles Rams (6-7) lose to or tie the Washington Commanders.
The 49ers are a very exciting team, with five straight double-digit wins since the bye week. They have also won 10 straight games against NFC West opponents, the third-longest streak in division history.
San Francisco throttled Arizona 35-16 behind a brutal four-touchdown performance from Christian McCaffrey when these teams met at Levi’s Stadium in Week 4. However, the Cardinals were without center Kyler Murray, who has since returned from an ACL injury that sidelined him. Of Arizona’s first nine games this season.
The Cardinals have won two of their last four games since Murray’s return, so they present a more challenging test for the 49ers than the Arizona team San Francisco faced in September.
