49ers Open as 7.5-Point Favorites Over Commanders in Week 6 Monday Night Game

3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Oct 19

Summary

  • San Francisco enters Monday night at 5-0 and can become the NFL’s first 6-0 team, while Washington arrives at 1-3-1 after last week’s overtime clock blunder against the Giants.
  • A 7.5-point spread frames the betting angle: the preview leans to Washington to cover, citing Jayden Daniels’ prime-time upside and urgency around Dan Quinn’s increasingly hot seat.
  • Brock Purdy, described as playing at an MVP level, anchors the 49ers case, with his over 4.5 carries listed as a featured prop alongside George Kittle anytime touchdown at +115.
  • Washington props focus on rookie Antonio Williams over 23.5 receiving yards and Stefon Diggs anytime touchdown at +245, reflecting expectations the Commanders may need to chase points.
