San Francisco 49ers vs Washington Redskins 10/20/19 NFL Betting Odds and Pick

The San Francisco 49ers take their unbeaten record to the FedEx Field for a Sunday showdown with the Washington Redskins on 10/20/19.

49ers Remain Unbeaten

The San Francisco 49ers remained unbeaten on the season after they delivered a masterful defensive effort during a 20-7 win over the struggling Los Angeles Rams. The Rams ran on their first seven possessions and ended up with a rushing touchdown. But that was all the 49ers would yield all game long as they limited the once explosive Rams offense to 157 total yards all game long.

Jimmy Garropolo threw for 243 yards and has one rushing touchdown. George Kittle had eight catches for 103 receiving yards while Tevin Coleman rushed for 45 yards with one rushing touchdown. But it was the San Francisco defense which held the Rams to 0-9 on third downs and 0-4 on fourth downs. They held Jared Goff to a career-low 78 passing yards.

San Francisco ranks first with 200 rushing yards per game. The 49ers are averaging 227.3 passing yards and are second in the NFL in scoring at 31.8 points per game scored. San Francisco is allowing their opponents to score only 14.3 points per game this season.

Redskins Finally Get on Board

The Washington Redskins finally got on board with their first win of the season. The Redskins defeated the Miami Dolphins 17-16 on Sunday in a battle of winless teams. The Dolphins could have won the game in the end but running back Kenyan Drake could not handle Ryan Fitzpatrick’s quick throw on the flat during a two-point conversion attempt with six ticks left in the game.

The Redskins were comfortably ahead 17-3 when Fitzpatrick took over from Josh Rosen in the fourth period. Fitzpatrick led two touchdown drives but could not complete the come from behind win. Case Keenum threw only 166 yards for Washington but had two touchdowns and no interception. Adrian Peterson rushed for 118 yards on 23 carries while Terry McLaurin caught 100 yards with two TD receptions.

Washington is averaging 212.8 passing yards per game and their 68.8 rushing yards per contest is ranked only 27th in the NFL. The Redskins are scoring a paltry 14.6 points per game, 30th overall in the league. They are allowing their opponents to score 30.2 points per game this season.

Who Wins?

San Francisco is 5-0 SU in five games played this season. The 49ers are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games played on the road and are 3-9 SU in their last 12 games against the NFC Conference. Washington is 1-5 SU in their last six games played. The Redskins are 0-3 SU in three home games played this season and 0-8 SU in their last 8 games against the NFC conference. Head to head, the 49ers are 6-4 SU in their last 10 meetings. They enter this game as a -9.5 point NFL betting favorites to beat the Redskins.

The 49ers continued to prove themselves as contenders this season after a 20-7 win over the fancied Los Angeles Rams. San Francisco delivered a dominant performance on defense, holding the once-powerful Rams offense to just 157 yards while giving up only one rushing touchdown which happened in the opening quarter. The Redskins are also coming off a win, but they barely won against the woeful Miami Dolphins. Washington’s offense has struggled to score in their last three games and that’s not going to work against this prolific San Francisco defense. I’m picking the 49ers to beat the Washington Redskins on 10/20/19. Prediction: San Francisco 49ers

I think San Francisco continues to roll here against a Washington team that won’t be able to stop their offense. Prediction: 49ers -9.5

Place Your Bet Here

The total has gone under in four out of the last five games played by San Francisco. The under is 4-1 in their last five October games. The total has gone under in the Redskins’ last three games played. The under is 5-0 in Washington’s last five October games and 9-4 in their last 13 games against an opponent from the NFC West.

These teams have combined to score 43.6 points per game in their last 10 meetings but only 37.67 points per game in their previous three games. San Francisco went over the 42.5 total in their first three games but have tightened up on defense and have not gone over the 42.5 point total in their last two outings. Washington also went over a total of 42.5 points in their first three games but has not scored more than 17 points per game in their last four games. San Francisco has the 2nd best scoring defense in the league and with Washington’s scoring woes, I think these teams played under the total here. Prediction: Under 42.5
