Washington vs. 49ers: Game notes
- Last Monday, Washington pulled off one of the biggest shockers of the season by handing the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-1) their first loss in a 23-17 upset. Washington, which was a 6-point road underdog, has won three in a row.
- On a sour note for Washington, rookie RB Antonio Gibson injured his toe in the win and has been ruled out for Week 14. Gibson leads Washington with 659 rushing yards and 11 rushing TDs.
- In their first game played in Arizona since the move due to COVID-19 issues, the 49ers lost as 1.5-point favorites to the Buffalo Bills 34-24 in the Monday Night Football game last week. It was the 49ers’ fourth loss in their last five games.
- Washington and the New York Giants sit atop the woeful NFC East with identical 5-7 records, but the G-Men hold the tiebreaker thanks to a season sweep of Washington.
- The 49ers are last in the NFC West but just one game back of the NFC’s last playoff spot, which is held by the 6-6 Minnesota Vikings.
- The 49ers are 6-1 in their last seven vs. Washington, taking the most recent matchup 9-0 in Week 7 last season. The game was played in windy conditions in a steady rain as the visiting 49ers came up a point short of covering as 10-point favorites.
Betting stats:
- ATS: Washington 7-5 | 49ers 5-7
- O/U: Washington 5-7 | 49ers 6-6

Washington vs. 49ers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
49ers 24, Washington 17
Money line (?)
PASS. The 49ers (-155) catch a break with Washington (+130) having to play a second consecutive road game on a short week. However, the -155 juice isn’t worth betting.
Against the spread (?)
SAN FRANCISCO -3 (-105) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Washington has been on a roll, but it will come up short with Gibson out. Look for 49ers QB Nick Mullens (1,958 passing yards, 9 TDs, 9 INTs) to get the best of Washington QB Alex Smith (1,363 passing yards, 4 TDs, 5 INTs), who played his first 7 seasons with San Francisco.
Over/Under (?)
The UNDER 43.5 (-110) is the way to go. Washington’s offense will struggle without its leading rusher, but the key here is that both defenses are better than average.
Washington allows 21.7 points per game (ranking eighth) and 310.9 yards per game (fourth). San Francisco allows 24.0 PPG (13th) and 326.3 YPG (sixth).
