The Commanders are in the thick of the fight for the final wildcard spot in the NFC, and any setback could send them out of the postseason with the Seahawks and Lions trailing just by the midgame.
Of course, the clash against the 49ers will not be easy, but taking into account that in San Francisco they are already classified and with little chance of fighting for the best record in the NFC, things could be a little calmer for Washington. However, the Commanders’ attack is one of the worst in the league and proof of this is that their 265 points are the lowest in the league. They just averaged 5.0 yards per game and they are second to last in rushing touchdowns with seven.
Sure, their defense has to compete in the top ten on the circuit and that’s why they’re in this position. In the last ten games, Washington doesn’t know what it’s like to receive more than 21 points against, while the 246 first chances conceded to opponents are the second lowest in the league. Also, their secondary did a decent job and allowed only eight touchdowns on the ground, fourth fewest in the entire NFL.
episode of San Francisco 49ers
- Season record: 10-4.
- Propagation from BetMGM: -7.0.
- Money line from BetMGM: (-350).
- Above under from BetMGM: 37.5.
The 49ers have already taken their first step toward the Super Bowl, comfortably winning their division and ranking with three weeks left in the regular bracket. Something that will allow them to weigh the numbers for January’s battle.
However, that shouldn’t be a reason to let your guard down and lose your #1 defensive spot in the league. San Francisco leads in fewest points allowed (210), first downs conceded (230), average yards per bottom carry (3.4), and total yards (4,006). Additionally, they have the second fewest aerial touchdowns allowed (13), are fourth in fumble recoveries (22) and seventh in sacks (39).
All of this made injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo less costly, as well as being a boon for rookie Brock Purdy, who did a great job as the starting quarterback. The 49ers are sixth in yards per play with 5.8, are among the teams with fewest interceptions with seven and in the red zone they mark 54.3% of the times they visit it.
JefeBet prediction
The points line for this game looks very low, but both defenses are among the best in the league and there’s no reason to think that will change this Saturday.
The Commanders’ offense has many flaws, while the 49ers’ offense could be without Purdy and Christian McCaffrey, both of whom are physically affected and could take care of themselves for the postseason. Furthermore, in five of the last six games between the two, the Under has been given.
Prediction: Below (ERA 16 – SF 20).
