WATCH: 49ers react to Cardinals game-winning TD over Eagles

This is a really cool video of the 49ers reacting to the Cardinals late, game-winning TD vs. the Eagles.

The 49ers wrapped up their win over the Commanders and then had other business to attend to. They needed to cheer on their NFC West rivals against the Eagles since an Eagles loss would clinch the No. 1 seed for San Francisco.

A group of players stood around a phone outside the locker room and watched as Arizona took a 34-31 lead late on a James Conner TD.

Former 49ers team reporter Keiana Martin was in the building and had video of Taybor Pepper, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk reacting to the late score.

Arizona would hang on for the win when they intercepted Jalen Hurts’ Hail Mary at the end of the game.

The 49ers can rest in Week 18 now, and they won’t play until the divisional playoffs thanks to the first-round bye.

Three bets and one parlay to make in the Eagles-Cardinals game

The Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) look to take care of business against the Arizona Cardinals (3-12) at home on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) look to take care of business against the Arizona Cardinals (3-12) at home on Sunday. To make matters more interesting, former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is also the head coach of the Cardinals. The Eagles are looking to continue being on the right track for playoffs, but the Cardinals still have an opportunity to tarnish the Eagles’ high-seed chances.

The Eagles are (-750) and the Cardinals are (+525) on BetMGM. Check out more bets I have lined up for Sunday’s New Year’s Eve matchup.

AJ Brown Anytime Touchdown

I think the Eagles offense has another good day ahead of them. The offensive weapons should expect to eat today especially since the Cardinals’ defense is below average this season. AJ Brown usually feels like a safety net bet for anytime touchdown, so I’m rocking with him today.

First Quarter O 9.5 Points

I think the Eagles get off to a fast start today. The team is home on New Year’s Eve against their former defensive coordinator’s team, so there will be rowdiness inside the stadium. I think the Eagles strike first with a touchdown and again with a field goal just in the first quarter.

J. Hurts O 251.5 Passing Yards

Part of the offense having a good day comes down to Hurts being able to execute offensively. The team is also fighting tooth and nail to try to keep their first-seed hopes alive (as long as the 49ers drop one more and the Eagles win out. I think Hurts has another great day at home and hits his over on the passing yards prop.

Jenn’s Philly-Philly Parlay (+310, BetMGM)

Money line – Eagles

J. Hurts Anytime TD

J. Hurts 2+ Passing TDs

J. Hurts O 199.5 Passing Yards

Total Points O 48.5

9 quick takeaways from 49ers’ 45-29 win over Cardinals

Some takeaways from the #49ers’ romp in the desert:

The 49ers didn’t play a perfect game Sunday in Arizona, but they did plenty to walk out of the desert with a 45-29 win and an NFC West crown in hand.

For San Francisco though the playoff race has mostly been a formality and the division was only a question of how long one of Seattle or LA could hang in the hunt.

Now the 49ers have all eyes on the No. 1 seed in the NFC. To get there they needed to take care of business against the three-win Arizona Cardinals. They did just that, and we had some takeaways from their Week 15 victory:

Notes and observations from 49ers blowout win over Cardinals

Notes and observations from the #49ers’ blowout win over the Cardinals:

The 49ers did what they had to do in Arizona and dropped the Cardinals 45-29 to earn their 11th win of the year and clinch a second consecutive NFC West title.

It wasn’t a perfect showing and San Francisco’s injury problems on defense were apparent, but their offense is humming at such a high level that it didn’t ultimately matter.

Here’s what we saw from each quarter:

Behind Enemy Lines: 49ers on upset watch vs. Cardinals?

Get to know the Arizona Cardinals, which look different than the last time the 49ers saw them:

The 49ers and Cardinals on Sunday will meet for the second and final time of the 2023 season. San Francisco took home a 35-16 victory at Levi’s Stadium. That was a more maximized version of the 49ers than the one we’re likely to see Sunday, and a worse version of the Cardinals which now has quarterback Kyler Murray instead of QB Josh Dobbs who started in Week 4.

To get a gauge on the new-look Cardinals we touched base with our buddy Jess Root, the Cards Wire managing editor and asked him a few questions.

Here’s what’s happening in the desert:

What 49ers need to clinch NFC West, top 3 seed in Week 15

Here’s how the #49ers can clinch the NFC West and a top 3 seed in the playoffs:

The 49ers in Week 14 locked up a playoff spot when the Giants upset the Packers on Monday Night Football. In Week 15 they have a chance to lock up a top four seed by clinching the NFC West for the second consecutive year.

It’s an easy road to the division crown for San Francisco. Here’s their two clinching scenarios:

49ers win
OR
Rams lose

Typically winning a division only guarantees a top four spot and a home playoff game. However, for the 49ers because the NFC South has been so aggressively mediocre, they’d clinch a top three seed with a victory to notch their 11th win. The NFC South winner will have a maximum of 10 wins.

The 49ers and Rams are both slated for 1:05pm Pacific Time kickoffs. San Francisco will be in Arizona to face the Cardinals, while the Rams will be at home hosting the Commanders.
