PACE & SCRIPT

• SF: 18.6 points allowed per game to WSH's 29.8

  11.2 PPG

• WSH @ SF carries a 51.5 market total

  51.5

  A 51.5 is 6 points above the slate median, a mild lean toward points. The sheet offers no reason for the gap. It is close enough to a normal game that one or two drives ending in field goals instead of touchdowns would decide which side of it the game lands on.

• WSH: 64 offensive plays per game to SF's 56.8

  7.2 PLAYS

  WSH is at 64 offensive plays per game over 5 games; SF is at 56.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 18. Last season WSH was at 58.2 over 17 games and SF at 63.6 over 17 games.

• WSH: 31:14 time of possession per game to SF's 28:36

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• SF: 6.54 yards per play to WSH's 5.14

  1.4 Y/P

  WSH is at 5.14 yards per play over 5 games; SF is at 6.54 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 18. Last season WSH was at 5.53 over 17 games and SF at 5.49 over 17 games. WSH had 7 plays of 20+ yards in its last game, led by 38-yard run for a touchdown (Jayden Daniels 38 Yd Rush (Drew Stevens Kick)); 33-yard run for a touchdown (Jacory Croskey-Merritt 33 Yd Rush (Drew Stevens PAT Failed)); 26-yard run for a touchdown (Jayden Daniels 26 Yd Rush (Jayden Daniels Pass to Terry McLaurin for Two-Point Conversion)).

RED ZONE

• SF: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to WSH's 83.3%

  33.3 PP

  San Francisco allows a score on 50% of opponent red-zone trips over 5 games, and Washington allows 83.3%. Red-zone rates come from only a handful of trips per game, so five games is a thin sample and both numbers can swing quickly. Washington's rate looks bad enough that some of it is likely bad luck. For this game, it points to San Francisco's offense finishing drives more often than Washington's, with real room for the gap to shrink.

MISMATCH

• SF: 51.9% on third down to WSH's 31.9%

  51.9 VS 31.9

  The widest gap between these two is third down: WSH's offense converted 31.9% of its own third downs over 5 games; SF's offense converted 51.9% of its own third downs over 5 games this season. Last season WSH was at 37.6% over 17 games and SF at 49.8% over 17 games.

COVERAGE

• SF: 199.6 passing yards allowed per game to WSH's 255

  55.4 YPG

  San Francisco allows 199.6 passing yards a game over 5 games, and Washington allows 255. Passing yards depend on game script, since trailing teams throw more, and the sheet doesn't show who either team faced. Five games is a short run. In this game, San Francisco's passing offense gets the more forgiving matchup.

• SF: 4.7 yards per play allowed to WSH's 5.54

  0.84 Y/P

  WSH is at 5.54 yards per play allowed over 5 games; SF is at 4.7 over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 18.

• Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR) is out for SF

  OUT

  SF lists Deebo Samuel Sr. as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 19.

• Mike Evans (WR) is out for SF

  OUT

  Evans hurt his Achilles in Monday night's game against Washington and was ruled out for the rest of it. An Achilles injury is the kind that can mean a long absence, but nothing on the sheet confirms a timeline yet. For now, the OUT tag means San Francisco finished this game without him, and his status for future weeks waits on more news.

• Kurtis Rourke (QB) is out for SF

  OUT

  San Francisco has ruled Kurtis Rourke out against Washington, so he will not suit up. The Oct 19 report gives no injury detail and names no backup, so the quarterback room's depth is the open question to settle before you look at any San Francisco passing numbers.

• Marcus Mariota (QB) is out for WSH

  OUT

  Washington has ruled Marcus Mariota out for the trip to San Francisco, so he will not play in this game. The report from Oct 19 lists no injury detail and names no replacement, so wait for the confirmed starter before you judge how much the Washington offense changes.

• Terry McLaurin (WR) is out for WSH

  OUT

  McLaurin went down in the first quarter of Monday night's game at San Francisco with a left knee injury and did not return. The OUT tag here covers the rest of this game, so Washington played most of the night without its lead receiver. No timeline beyond that is on the sheet, so the next injury report is what tells you whether this carries into next week.

• Charles Omenihu (DE) is out for WSH

  OUT

  Charles Omenihu is out for Washington at San Francisco, which removes a defensive end from the rotation for this game. The Oct 19 report gives no injury detail. With two Washington corners also ruled out, consider the whole defense when you look at San Francisco's offense.

• Marques Sigle (S) is out for SF

  OUT

  SF lists Marques Sigle as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 19.

• Brett Toth (C) is questionable for SF

  QUESTIONABLE

  The 49ers released Toth (concussion) from their injured reserve list with an injury settlement Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Reported Oct 20.

• Christian Kirk (WR) is ir-r for SF

  IR-R

  The 49ers downgraded Kirk (calf) to out for Monday's game against the Commanders, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Reported Oct 19.

• Demarcus Robinson (WR) is on injured reserve for SF

  IR

  Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that Robinson (ankle) has an "outside chance" to return from injured reserve for the 49ers' Week 7 game versus the Falcons but is more likely to be activated following the team's Week 8 bye, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Reported Oct 15.

• Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB) is on injured reserve for WSH

  IR

  The Commanders placed Croskey-Merritt (groin) on injured reserve Monday. Reported Oct 19.

• Luke Gifford (LB) is questionable for SF

  QUESTIONABLE

• Dre Greenlaw (LB) is reserve-sus for SF

  RESERVE-SUS

  Greenlaw's appeal of a one-game suspension was denied by the NFL on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Reported Oct 14.

• Jaylin Lane (WR) is on injured reserve for WSH

  IR

  The Commanders placed Lane (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Oct 6.

• Javontae Jean-Baptiste (LB) is on injured reserve for WSH

SITUATIONAL

• WSH (1-3-1) at SF (5-0)

  +95 PT GAP

  WSH is 1-3-1, -34 points on the year this season. SF is 5-0, +61 points on the year, has won 5 straight this season. WSH is 0-2 on the road; SF is 3-0 at home.

• WSH: 1.4 fourth-down attempts per game to SF's 0.4

  1 ATT/G

  WSH is at 1.4 fourth-down attempts per game over 5 games; SF is at 0.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 18. Last season WSH was at 1.53 over 17 games and SF at 1.29 over 17 games.

STREAK

• SF has won 5 straight

  W5

  SF is 5-0 and has not dropped a game yet. With no opponent detail on the sheet, there is no telling how much of that came against weak teams. Five wins in five games is a real start, but streaks eventually end and the number gets priced in quickly. Against WSH at home, the betting angle is whether the line already reflects the streak, since a perfect record tends to push spreads past where they would otherwise sit.

AFTER GARY

• WSH +7.5 → +7.5

  GARY +0.41PP

  Gary's number was 7.5; the same book now shows 7.5.
