49ers @ Cardinals: San Fran Stay On Course With Purdy Return
Kyle Shanahan should be getting more attention in the coach of the year market, given what he’s achieved with San Francisco this season.
Once again, he is navigating an extraordinary injury list, and yet the Niners remain in contention.
Things are looking up too, with the return of quarterback Brock Purdy this Sunday and possibly wide receiver Ricky Pearsall to strengthen an offense that has been carried by the exceptional Christian McCaffrey.
49ers Form Guide:
Week | Opponent | Result |
3 | Cardinals | Won |
4 | Jaguars | Lost |
5 | Rams | Won |
6 | Buccaneers | Lost |
7 | Falcons | Won |
8 | Texans | Lost |
9 | Giants | Won |
10 | Rams | Lost |
Purdy’s back-up, former New England Patriots starter Mac Jones, deputised well, and there’s some frisky talk of a QB controversy brewing in Santa Clara, which is far-fetched.
There are similarities between the two, not least with the rhythm, fluency and composure needed in the next-gen West Coast offense Shanahan uses, but Purdy is a level (or two) up.
The Cardinals have been a disappointment this year – and their QB situation is far more uncertain going forward.
GAME NOTES
49ers defense - 1 INT in 10 games
Cardinals offense - 1 INT in last 5 games
Perhaps this is the beginning of the end for Kyler Murray, who has flashed top-tier talent at times, but has never consistently performed or been assured.
His long-term injury this season has given more reps to seasoned veteran Jacoby Brissett – the prototypical solid back-up quarterback.
However, his task has been made that bit harder this weekend with the absence of leading receiver Marvin Harrison Jr, in an already depleted Arizona offense. The Niners' play-off bid should roll on.

Commanders @ Dolphins (Madrid): Fins Can Finish Washington Off
The final International Series game of the season is a bit of a dead rubber, with neither Miami nor Washington posing any enduring play-off threat.
These are teams heading in different directions this season.
Miami roll into Madrid with their fins up after a comprehensive upset win over divisional rivals the Buffalo Bills last week (aided by key injuries in the Bills defense).
GAME NOTES
Dolphins - scored 1st in each of their last 3 games
Commanders - conceded 1st in each of their last 6 games
Nevertheless, it was an impressive performance, particularly for their own defense.
Washington have been one of the biggest disappointments of the season, but their deep play-off run last year was overperformance.
Of course, they’ve been amongst the teams most affected by injuries on both sides of the ball.
Check out the latest odds on the remaining Week 11 games here:
It’s their short-stacked offense in particular that concerns me in keeping this game competitive, plus their defense is missing Daron Payne (suspended), with a banged-up pass rush to boot.
Mike McDaniel will be driving past the Washington fan bars of Madrid, giving Commanders fans the bird on his way to the airport after Miami post back-to-back wins.

On his way home from blowing out the Bills, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel drove by Elbo Room, a bar where Bills fans congregate when Buffalo's in town, to troll their fans 💀 https://t.co/PtdHorCHtn pic.twitter.com/tX0M7FLO9W

Texans @ Titans: Houston To Win Slow Burner
The Houston Texans, much like the Baltimore Ravens, have clawed their way back into the reckoning and can improve to .500 here with a win against the struggling Tennessee Titans.
However, they’ll have to do so once again without quarterback CJ Stroud, who remains out due to his recent concussion.
Davis Mills showed some moxie in the comeback win against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, but it was the Jags who blew it, hustled by this impressive Houston defense, rather than Mills putting it on his back to win it.
CJ Stroud has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. Titans, per @AdamSchefter

Houston's head coach DeMeco Ryans will feel that once Stroud is back, they’ll be dangerous in the post-season, should they make it, given how impressive their defense has been, which will hold up against the very best in the NFL.
The Titans are most certainly not that. I like Houston to win, but even more appealing here is low-ball play on the total points on the best betting sites.
