Randy’s Pick

On paper, the San Francisco 49ers should have their way in this spot, and a blowout win wouldn’t be surprising. When the Giants were down big last week to the Cardinals, I tweeted they’re the worst team in the league, and it’s not close. The Giants came back, but they don’t look good. And it’s the Cardinals. With all that said, this is double-digit chalk on a short week. I’m not laying this many points with only a couple of days to prepare. Also, the Giants have covered 12 of their last 16 games as a double-digit underdog. Give me the points on a short week.
