49ers at Redskins 8:40 P.M. ESPN
Synopsis:
At the start of this season I thought this game would seem
much more interesting heading into the week of football, but that does not seem
to be the case.
The 49ers had a great first game in which Colin Kaepernick
threw for 400 yards and three touchdowns, but since has only gone over 200
passing yards in a game once and he has only completed 56.2% of his
passes. While the absence of Michael
Crabtree and Mario Manningham have hindered the passing game this still comes
as a shock. This game is a must win for
the 49ers whose division is a tough one and is heating up now with the Arizona
Cardinals in with a record of 7-4 who just blew out the Colts. The 49ers will hold the same record as the
Cardinals if they win this game but would be second place because they beat
Arizona in their first meeting of the season.
The Redskins are a mess, players are seemingly calling out
Robert Griffin III who has shown some shaky playing and has already doubled his
interceptions from last season as well as his fumbles lost. He also has not been able to score a rushing
touchdown as opposed to last season when he had 7. This is not the RGIII that we have seen in
the past, but his injury not allowing him to play in the preseason which I
think has hurt his ability at the season’s start.
The bright spots for these teams is that both rank in the
top 5 in rushing yards, the Redskins are ranked 1st and the 49ers
rank 5th.
Prediction:
49ers win 31-17, the Redskins defense hasn’t been able to do
much in 2013 and this could be a great game for the 49ers to get back on track
following back to back losses.
