San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Commanders Analysis
It was not a pretty game last week at home against the Ravens, but the San Francisco 49ers’ odds to win the NFC or even the Super Bowl did not change. In fact, the Super Bowl odds still show the 49ers as the favorite heading into Week 17.
Brock Purdy threw four interceptions. His odds to win the MVP have changed, but he still putting together a great season. Purdy has over 4,000 passing yards with 29 touchdowns. His four interceptions now put him at 11 on the season.
Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown, which is nearly an every-week occasion. McCaffrey has 21 touchdowns on the season. 14 of them are on the ground, where he is nearly 1,400 yards. George Kittle had a big game for the 49ers, and is now 9 yards shy of 1,000 on the season. He will join Brandon AIyuk with over 1,000 on the season.
The 49ers will host the Rams in NFL Week 18.
There is a strong chance the Washington Commanders roster will get a big-time makeover before next season. Head coach Ron Rivera is not likely to be back to lead the charge as well. The Commanders are 4-11 and have dropped six straight games.
The quarterback position has been a struggle for Washington all season. Between Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett, they have thrown 22 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. Howell has been sacked a league-high 60 times this season. Terry McLaurin leads the receiving core for Washington. If he can garner 115 yards over the last two weeks of the season he will reach 1,000. Logan Thomas, Curtis Samuel, and Johan Dotson all have four touchdowns, while McLaurin has three.
Washington is at home next week to take on divisional rival Dallas. The Commanders will then get ready for the 2024 NFL Draft, where they are likely to have a Top 5 pick. Many are curious about what the franchise will do to improve.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Commanders Betting Picks & Prediction
It’s time for our 49ers vs. Commanders betting picks: The San Francisco 49ers are going to come into this game steaming mad from their loss last week at home.
