Here’s a complete preview and prediction for the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The Arizona Cardinals have to get the ball rolling if they want to make a run at the NFC West. While they will be down some key players, the Cardinals are coming off of a needed bye week and will be back at home against the San Francisco 49ers.

For those that want to watch the Cardinals and 49ers, the game can be seen on TV on FOX. It can also be watched online via a live stream via the NFL Sunday Ticket. The app requires a DirecTV subscription for use. Here’s everything you need to know about watching the game online, including TV info, live stream info and more. Details for Sunday are below.

Date: Sunday, November 13, 2016
Start Time: 4:25 p.m. ET
Location: Glendale, AZ
Venue: University of Phoenix Stadium
TV Info: FOX
Live Stream: NFL Sunday Ticket

Keys to Victory

The Cardinals have to protect Carson Palmer. They really let him get beat up against Carolina and will be without Jared Veldheer the rest of the way. John Wetzel will be stepping in at left tackle for the Arizona.

San Francisco has allowed running backs to scorch them all season. They struggled against David Johnson the last time the two teams played and if they don’t slow him down on Sunday, it could be a long day on the road.

The last time Colin Kaepernick started in Arizona, the Cardinals won 47-7. He has to be careful with his passes and make the start decisions. Allowing Arizona to get turnovers would set his team behind early.

Prediction

The 49ers are not in a good spot right now. They can’t stop any team’s offense and they face a good one this week. The Cardinals are not happy with their play thus far and will be playing with a ton of determination. This isn’t a good spot on the road for the 49ers and they will continue their march toward a great draft pick.

Pick: Arizona 34, San Francisco 10
