WHY 49ERS COULD WIN: This could be the week the 49ers’ offense comes up big. Arizona may have standouts in cornerback Patrick Peterson and outside linebacker Chandler Jones, but it still has allowed 407 yards and 27.9 points per game, both second-worst in the NFL. … Arizona’s running game will likely be missing standout David Johnson, who is questionable with an ankle injury. … The 49ers’ defense hasn’t allowed more than 100 yards passing in any of its last four games.

WHY ARIZONA COULD WIN: Kyler Murray is as dangerous as he is elusive, and the 5-foot-10 quarterback has the kind of escapability to prolong plays. Two weeks ago, Murray threw for 340 yards and three TDs in a 34-33 win over the Giants, so San Francisco will need to respect the pass. … Offensively, Arizona has done a solid job of protecting the ball with just four turnovers in eight games. … The Cardinals have a pretty decent pass rush, led by Jones, and have the ability to make things rough for Jimmy Garoppolo.
