Washington Commanders vs. San Francisco 49ers Prediction
I’m on the 49ers in this one. I get the allure of backing an underdog in primetime as they’ve been absolute money this season. However, the 49ers are still the best team in the league right now as they’ve been rolling along despite dealing with a litany of injuries and I have to sit here and wonder what happens with Jayden Daniels and that elbow. Even if the Commanders want to prioritize running the ball,I don’t think they’ll have enough to get past and match the 49ers in this game so I’ll lay it with San Fran at home.
