Cardinals fans have been solid picking games straight-up, both predict

FanPulse: 49ers Brock Coyle Jersey , a win on Sunday The San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals square off in Week 5, occupying the bottom two spots in the NFC West. San Francisco has been inconsistent at best, while Arizona has been bad for the most part — although they had their chances to beat Seattle last week.Each week, we have been running our FanPulse surveys in which we ask about team confidence, how the team will perform in that week’s game, and a broader national game.

What’s most interesting for this matchup is that both the 49ers and Cardinals fans voting each week have been fairly accurate from a straight-up perspective. Fans vote on whether or not the team will lose, and by how much. Through four weeks, 49ers and Cardinals fans are both 3-1.49ers fansWeek 1: FanPulse predicts 49ers win by 1 (Vikings), 49ers lose by 8 (spread: 49ers +6.5)Week 2: FanPulse predicts 49ers win by 7 (Lions), 49ers win by 3 (spread: 49ers -6)Week 3: FanPulse predicts 49ers lose by 6 (Chiefs), 49ers lose by 11 (spread: 49ers +6)Week 4: FanPulse predicts 49ers lose by 7 (Chargers) Richard Sherman Jersey , 49ers lose by 2 (spread: 49ers +10)49ers FanPulse SU: 3-149ers FanPulse ATS: 1-3Cardinals fansWeek 1: FanPulse predicts Cardinals win by 7 (Washington), Cardinals lose by 18 (spread: Cardinals -2)Week 2: FanPulse predicts Cardinals lose by 10 (Rams), Cardinals lose by 34 (spread: Cardinals +12)Week 3: FanPulse predicts Cardinals lose by 9 (Bears), Cardinals lose by 2 (spread: Cardinals +5.5)Week 4: FanPulse predicts Cardinals lose by 6 (Seahawks), Cardinals lose by 3 (spread: Cardinals +3.5)Cardinals FanPulse SU: 3-1Cardinals FanPulse ATS: 0-4I included both straight up results and against the spread results. In straight pick ‘em pools, 49ers and Cardinals fans have been pretty money. If you were to use their picks as betting advice, you’d be better suited fading them.This week, 49ers fans are predicting a six-point victory, while Cardinals fans are predicting a three point victory. This marks the first time since Week 1 that Arizona fans have predicted a win. The spread is currently set at 49ers -4, although some sportsbooks have gone with 4.5 points.Both fanbases are feeling a little more confident this week, in spite of losses last week. The 49ers lost after blowing a big lead in C.J. Beathard’s first start of the year, while the Cardinals lost by a late field goal after blowing some opportunities of their own. The 49ers FanPulse confidence index rose from 44 percent confidence to 66 percent confidence. The Cardinals FanPulse confidence index rose from 5 percent confidence to 33 percent confidence. Getting Josh Rosen into the starting lineup and getting a solid outing from him in his debut probably helped that.What do you think comes of this on Sunday? The Cardinals have a reason for optimism in Josh Rosen, but they’re still a bad football team. I like the 49ers as four point favorites, although the Friday injury report will give me a better handle on it. I don’t know if it’s enough to justify a SuperContest pick this week Weston Richburg Jersey , but I’m leaning that way. The magic finally ended for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. The Eagles lost to the New Orleans Saints 20-14, with Foles throwing what proved to be a game-ending interception with two minutes remaining. I thought another Eagles miracle was going to happen, but it was not to be.NFL free agency doesn’t get going for two more months, but the Eagles have a decision to make with Foles. A year ago, Foles restructured his contract into a two-year deal. It netted him a $2 million signing bonus a $3 million roster bonus, and a $4 million base salary for 2018. The deal also included a $20 million base salary for 2019, but it is an option year. If the Eagles do not pick up the option, Foles becomes a free agent. If the Eagles do pick up the option, Foles can still become a free agent by paying back the $2 million signing bonus he received in 2018.Although Foles got the Eagles a Lombardi Trophy last year, and made some noise in this year’s playoffs, it’s a safe bet the Eagles will decline the option. Foles is not going to get a nine figure contract, but a team will give him a decent chunk of change either to come in and start outright, or compete for a starting opportunity.Teams that will potentially want some quarterback help this offseason include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Washington, and maybe Tennessee Titans depending on how they view Marcus Mariota. The Bucs and Giants have a starting option, but are considering their options as well. I suspect they will not be options for Foles as he likely wants a place where he will either be the starter or has a shot at it.I would kind of crack up at him potentially replacing Case Keenum in Denver. John Elway brought in Keenum after a strong showing in Minnesota in 2017. That did not turn out too well, and Keenum’s future seems shaky at best. I could see Elway hoping Foles could provide some competition for Keenum, and maybe even take his job. The Broncos need to find their quarterback of the future, but if they think they’re close enough now, they might be fine kicking the can down the road.Whatever the case, Foles’ situation will be something to watch over the next three months. I suspect teams that would look to trade with the Arizona Cardinals or San Francisco 49ers to land a quarterback won’t necessarily be impacted by the Foles market, but you never know. It could shake things up as the 49ers look to benefit from this quarterback market.
