So we waiting all season for this to finally hit, after he dominated the targets and paced the passing game all season. And now the pressure if off Kyler Murray and I suspect he feeds his favorite target and we get better value here than in most markets before McBride finally caught a TD. Things don't seem rosy between Murray and Marvin Harrison JR. 49ers short on LBs and McBride saw 9 targets in last meeting when a reserve TE caught a TD pass. McBride has 104 receptions and no one else on the team has 58. Overdue for more TDs and facing wounded opponent.

James Connor, Trey Benson and Emari Demercado are out, meaning it will be the Michael Carter show for Arizona. He looked good last week against the Rams, rushing 13 times for 70 yards. The 2021 fourth-round pick will face a 49ers team that ranks 28th in rushing efficiency defense.

Kyler Murray needs 50+ rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to hit a contract incentive that would pay $750,000. Murray can call his own number and not have to rely on others to achieve this bonus. Murray had 83 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown the first time these teams met earlier in the season. I like Murray to find the endzone in the season finale to get his bonus.

The 49ers have lost six of their last seven games and are mailing the season in as their quarterback will be Joshua Dobbs and backups for starters Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Nick Bosa are expected. The Cardinals beat the 49ers earlier in the year and they'll be without RB James Conner but Kyler Murray will start. The Cardinals went 10-6 against the spread and Murray needs to earn the city back after not making the playoffs. Murray gets the win with compliments of Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr.

The 49ers have endured an epidemic of injuries, capped by QB Brock Purdy's bum elbow suffered on Monday night that ends his season. The defense was lacerated by Detroit, and the offense is missing a roll call of contributors. San Fran is staggering to the finish line in a short week. The Cardinals have been up-and-down -- mostly down in recent weeks -- but should be motivated to complete a season sweep of a division foe that historically dominates them. 'Zona scored a one-point win in the Bay Area in Week Six.

This feels like the classic case of a coach trying to build something -- Arizona's Jonathan Gannon -- who will play all his healthy starters against one who may not -- SF's Kyle Shanahan after so many extra playoff games the past few years. Short week for the Niners, anyways, and Brock Purdy probably is out for legit reasons after hurting his elbow on Monday night. I rather doubt most key 49ers play in this meaningless one.
