Arizona Cardinals over San Francisco 49er’s: Ariz is expected to play at a fast pace with unique and mobile Murray at QB. That is tough to dealwith at anytime but especially week 1 with no pre-season. RB Drake will have the full practice sessions after being traded here last year. The big acquisition is obviously Hopkins at WR. However if Ariz is to take another step forward the defense will need to improve. They have made some strides on paper we will se how that translates to the field. SF will be very good again this year. However they are not as healthy as Ariz. WR Samuel is out which should make it easier to contain Kittle. Rookie WR Aiyuk has a bad hamstring but is expected to go. CB Verett is out for a 2ndary that is just OK.
