49ers-Redskins Line Steady at -3.5 Favoring San Francisco (Video)
San Francisco only has a single loss and, as such, the 49ers-Redskins line has been set at -3.5 favoring the 49ers. 90 percent of those betting the spread were, in fact, backing San Francisco in this game despite the long East Coast journey. The line on this game opened at -4.5.
The 49ers have incredible value when it comes to winning 2011 Super Bowl at 9/1 or +900. A win in Washington will likely result in odds being slashed to 8/1 or lower so Gambling911.com advises locking this price in now for those of you who believe the 49ers can take the title.
As for this game, DonBest TV notes that this is the furthest East the 49ers have traveled thus far and, with the morning kickoff, there is definitely a “negative” for San Francisco. It also doesn’t help matters that the 49ers are just 2-9-1 Against The Spread in their last 12 games as a road favorite. A good portion of these trends take into account past season performance, however, and this is a whole new San Francisco team. Therefore, Gambling911.com would suggest not looking too deeply into this particular trend.
The good news is they will be playing a suspect Washington team.
Kenny White noted that “the biggest reason San Francisco is 6-1 is the turnovers (they create)”, not to mention the 49ers have been great at protecting the ball on their end.
The Redskins are 7-16-2 ATS in their last 25 home games and they are 5-15-6 ATS in their last 26 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.
The 49ers have been on fire of late, going 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
They are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC.
A good team shouldn’t let a long road trip affect them, but certainly something to keep at the back of one’s mind before betting on the 49ers-Redskins game. Let’s check out the video betting preview now.
