NN prediction contest and game picks for Week 9: Can the 49ers finally win at home?

Could we be looking at a Colt McCoy revenge game? You know Kyler Murray is going to do everything in his power to play. The question becomes how effective he’ll be on a sprained ankle. A significant part of the Cardinals' offense relies on Murray’s mobility. So, even if he’s active, there’s no guarantee Murray will look like himself.

The 49ers are now 2-point favorites over the Cardinals over at DraftKings SportsBook, which is an even stronger indication that Murray isn’t playing. The total on the game has also dropped from 47 to 45.

All times listed below are Pacific:

Falcons @ Saints - Sunday, November 7, 10:00 a.m.

Raiders @ Giants - Sunday, November 7, 10:00 a.m.

Using the Cardinals @ 49ers Week 9 game as an example. If you think San Francisco will win 24-20, the required format is:

Cardinals @ 49ers 20-24.

If you think Arizona will win 24-20, the required format is:

Cardinals @ 49ers 24-20

If provided, a bold highlight of the winning team will override a conflicting score format. A bold highlight of the intended winning team is not necessary but helps clarify the winning team in case of an error in the scoring format, for example:

Cardinals @ 49ers 24-20 would be scored as the 49ers winning 24-20 based on the bold highlight of the 49ers as the intended winning team. Likewise, Cardinals @ 49ers 24-20 would be scored as a 49ers win based on the bold highlight of the Niners.
