Here are the betting odds and trends for the game between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers on Thursday.

The Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers are trying to turn their seasons around. While people expected the 49ers to struggle, no one saw the struggles of the Arizona Cardinals coming. The team is 1-3 through four games and they don’t like a playoff contender let alone a Super Bowl contender.

The Cardinals could be without Carson Palmer on Thursday night and that’s swaying the betting lines. Currently, the Cardinals are four-point road favorites over San Francisco, according to OddsShark. Should Palmer be healthy, that line might move even more.

The Cardinals are 1-6 in their last seven games against the spread. Simply put, the team has been one of the worst bets in football. They have been a tough team to gamble on. Making things worse for people gambling this week is the fact the 49ers have been just as bad.

Something will have to give on Thursday Night Football. If Palmer is indeed able to play, their chances of success should improve greatly. If Drew Stanton plays, then the Cardinals’ chances on the road do not look as good. This is a game to stay away from.
