NFL

Week 12

49ers (6-4) @ Redskins (3-7)—You get idea RGIII annoyed some teammates last week with comments that inferred Redskin coaches were getting outprepared by opponents; team that is falling out of contention at this time of year is a bad investment, and if they start sniping at each other, its lot worse. Redskins are 3-2 when they score 24+ points, 0-5 when they don’t; they’ve lost three of last four games, with only win in OT over Chargers, and are 2-2 at home. Niners lost last two games; they’ve been held to single digits in three of four losses; Redskins allowed 24+ points in their last six games. SF ran ball for 149+ yards in its last five wins, 115 or less in all four of its losses. Washington allowed 7+ yards/pass attempt in each of last five games, which is poor, but can Kaepernick (5.9/3.4 last two weeks) exploit that weakness? 49ers are 10-3 in last 13 series games, winning four of last five played here. NFC West non-divisional favorites are 11-5-1 vs spread, 5-1 on road; NFC East underdogs are 5-6, 1-1 at home. Four of last five Washington games went over the total.

Monday Night Football betting: 49ers at Redskins

San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins (+4.5, 47)

A pair of teams led by underachieving quarterbacks look to avoid a third consecutive loss when the Washington Redskins host the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Washington's Robert Griffin III and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick burst onto the NFL scene a year ago and gave defenses fits but haven't enjoyed the same success this season. The 49ers are on the fringes of the NFC playoff picture, and the Redskins are in last place in the NFC East.

Kaepernick turned in another mediocre outing, statistically-speaking, in a 23-20 loss at New Orleans last week, but 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't understand the criticism of his quarterback. "I think he's doing a heck of a job," Harbaugh told reporters. "I guess I'd be puzzled to why people would think that. What's most important is what we see." Griffin's numbers also have dropped off as he returns from offseason knee surgery, and he came under fire this week for comments following last week's 24-16 loss at Philadelphia that seemed to deflect blame toward offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and the team's receivers.

TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE: The line opened +4.5 was bet to +6 before being bet back down to +4.5. The Total opened at 49 and has been bet down to 47.

WEATHER: Temperature will be in the mid 30s with a 6 mph wind blowing across the field.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: San Francisco (-5.5) - Washington (+4.0) + home field (-3.0) = San Francisco -6.5

ABOUT THE 49ERS (6-4, 7-3 ATS): San Francisco isn't in panic mode yet, as its consecutive losses have come by a combined four points, unlike its clunkers in Weeks 2 and 3. The defense is still one of the best units in the league and has forced two or more turnovers in seven of 10 games. The lack of offensive production is cause for concern, though, with the 49ers averaging 173.5 total yards over the past two games.

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (3-7, 3-7 ATS): Griffin's sophomore slump has been somewhat overstated considering Washington leads the league in rushing (155.2 yards per game) and ranks sixth in total offense (412.1). The bigger issue is on defense, as the Redskins rank 28th in total defense (389.9) and 30th in scoring (31.1). Washington has allowed 400 or more yards in six of 10 games including three of the last four.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-0-2 ATS in the last six meetings.
* 49ers are 6-1 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Redskins are 1-7 ATS in their last eight versus the NFC.
* Over is 4-1 in the Redskins in last five games overall.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. San Francisco has an 8-0 record when Kaepernick starts and has a rating of 100 or better, a mark he has achieved only three times this season.

2. Washington TE Jordan Reed, who leads NFL rookies with 45 catches, is listed as questionable after leaving last week's game with a concussion.

3. Griffin does not have a rushing touchdown and is averaging 5.2 yards per carry after rushing for seven scores and 6.8 yards per attempt last season.

Bank shots: NBA's weekly betting news and notes

Each week, we look back on the NBA betting scene and give you the best - and worst - basketball bets, as well as some spots to keep an eye on with the upcoming schedule.

For the week of Nov. 18-24

Hottest ATS - Portland Trailblazers (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS)

The Blazers continued to take the league by storm this week, extending their winning streak to 10-straight games, which included 4-0 on a four game East coast road trip. The Blazers are not only the hottest team against the spread this week, but they now have the second-best record ATS in the NBA at 10-4. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard have been unstoppable for the Blazers during this run, Aldridge is scoring 22.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game while Lillard is scoring 19.9 ppg to go along with 6.1 assists. The Blazers take on the slumping New York Knicks at home, before a short two-game road trip at Phoenix and the L.A. Lakers.

Coldest ATS - Brooklyn Nets (0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS)

The Nets have now lost five games in a row dating back to Nov. 16. and now sit 3-10 SU for the season. This is not the season the Nets envisioned after acquiring Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics in the offseason. The Nets rank 22nd in the league in scoring at 95.4 points per game and are 24th in points against at 103.0 ppg. This week, with both Brook Lopez and Deron Williams nursing ankle injuries, the Nets take on the surprisingly Atlantic division leading Toronto Raptors, the L.A. Lakers, Houston and Memphis.

Best Over play - San Antonio Spurs (3-0 SU, 3-0 O/U)

Last week's best Under play, pulled the old switch-a-roo on us and became this weeks best over play. The Spurs extended their own winning streak to 10 games, not just by playing their usual style of tenacious defense and efficient offense, they are also scoring at a very high clip. During their current streak the Spurs have scored more than 100 points six times and are shooting a ridiculous 49.3 percent from the field in that span. The Spurs take on New Orleans at before a big matchup against Western Conference contenders Oklahoma City. They close out the week at Orlando and at home versus Houston.

Best Under play - Washington Wizards (3-1 SU, 0-4 O/U)

After starting the season with two wins in their first nine games the Wizards have turned things around of late, thanks in large part to point guard John Wall turning up his game. In the past four-game stretch, Wall has averaged 24.3 points and 8.5 assists per game, but more importantly the Wizards playing much better defense. They are only giving up 94 points points per game in their past four compared to 104.6 in their previous nine. The week the Wizards take on the Lakers at home before a quick two-game Midwest road trip in Milwaukee and Indiana before ending the week back at home versus Atlanta.

Surveying the schedule:

The Chicago Bulls will have to soldier on through the remainder of the infamous Circus trip without the aid of former MVP Derrick Rose. Rose is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his right knee which he suffered Friday night at Portland. The Bulls started the extended road trip last Monday at Denver and still have visits at the L.A. Clippers, Utah, Detroit and Cleveland before returning home on Dec. 2.

Pucking the trends: This week's best NHL bets

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in the National Hockey League.

For the week of Nov. 18 - Nov. 24.

Hot team

Montreal Canadiens (3-0 SU)

Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins capped off a great week for the Canadiens. The Habs beat three strong teams this past week, including a 6-2 demolition of the Minnesota Wild. Goalie Carey Price has been excellent all season, posting a 2.05 GAA and .935 save percentage. If Montreal can find its goalscoring touch, which it may have done this week, teams atop the East better watch out. Road games in Buffalo and Washington start the week, before a Hockey Night in Canada showdown at home versus the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Cold team

Tampa Bay Lightning (0-3 SU)

The Lightning won their first two games without Steven Stamkos, but have dropped four-straight games since. Predictably, the team has struggled to light the lamp without their sniper. They managed just three goals in their three losses this week so an exceptional start to the campaign feels like a distant memory. It should be a tough week as the Lightning have games against a pair of hot teams (New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers) before a date with Sidney Crosby and Penguins Friday.

Best Over play

New York Islanders (3-0 O/U)

It hasn't been a particularly good stretch for Isles goalie Kevin Poulin. New York has dropped five of seven with Poulin between the pipes and gave up 14 goals in three games this past week. With an offense that boasts the severely-underrated John Tavares and sniper Thomas Vanek, scoring isn't a problem. But if they can't find consistency in net, Isles games will be in the cross hairs for Over bettors. Home games against the slumping Winnipeg Jets and Detroit Red Wings could see the trend continue this week.

Best Under play

New York Rangers (0-2-1 O/U)

It doesn't matter who is in net for the Broadway Blueshirts, Cam Talbot and Henrik Lundqvist are putting up sensational numbers. The team is 0-4-2 O/U in their last six games and Talbot has posted a pair of shutouts in that stretch. The Rangers are still struggling to score goals, ranking 28th in the league with 2.1 per game, so low-scoring lines are expected. The Rangers have a busy week with three games on the road (at Tampa Bay, at the Florida Panthers and at the Boston Bruins) before a home game against John Tortorella and the Vancouver Canucks Saturday.

Surveying the schedule

All of a sudden, the young Edmonton Oilers are hot and scoring goals for the fun of it. The Oilers hung a seven-spot on the dismal Columbus Blue Jackets and four apiece against the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers this past week. They've won three-straight games and could be the source of value this week with a home game against the Chicago Blackhawks and a date in Nashville against the Predators before a rematch against the Jackets Friday.

College football odds: Week 14 opening line report

Thanksgiving weekend and football make a great American tradition. On the college gridiron, it’s a time when the turkeys are on the table, not on your television screen, with myriad big matchups, including many rivalries.

Perhaps the most noteworthy contest is Saturday’s Iron Bowl, with high stakes in both the Southeastern Conference and the Bowl Championship Series standings.

Top-ranked Alabama (11-0 SU, 6-4-1 ATS) makes the short road trip to face archrival and sixth-ranked Auburn (10-1 SU), which is tied for third nationally at the betting window with a stout 9-2 ATS record.

The Tigers have won six in a row SU and seven in a row ATS, and they’re coming off a bye following the absolutely stunning late touchdown that secured a 43-38 home win over Georgia as a 3-point favorite Nov. 16. The Crimson Tide also ostensibly had a bye this weekend, taking on FCS outfit Chattanooga on Saturday and rolling 49-0, though that only earned them a push, as they were laying 49.

Speaking of 49-0, that’s the exact score by which ‘Bama basted Auburn last year. With that in mind, Peter Korner – founder of Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club -- said while this year’s matchup looks great based on ranking and such a strong rivalry, it didn’t pencil out that way with his oddsmakers.

“It’s not a particularly good game. We all had Alabama between a 12 to 14-point favorite,” Korner said. “After seeing Oregon and Baylor fall this past week, we're pretty sure Alabama will be focused. We sent out Alabama -13. Offshores were at -10.5, but we had it higher before we saw their number and like it even better now. There is no way ‘Bama gets caught off guard.”

Texas Tech Red Raiders at Texas Longhorns (-6)

It’s not exactly Texas-Texas A&M, a rivalry that went bye-bye when the Aggies bolted for the Southeastern Conference after the 2011 season. But if you’ve had your fill of the NFL on Thanksgiving day and want to skip the Steelers-Ravens that evening, this could be an entertaining contest.

Texas Tech (7-4, 5-6 ATS) is coming off a bye and has the nation’s No. 1 passing attack at 400.2 ypg, helping the Aggies to an average of 37.5 ppg (21st). But the Red Raiders have had the bottom fall out since winning their first seven games, going 0-4 SU and ATS while allowing 50.5 ppg.

Texas (7-3, 5-5 ATS) also is coming off a bye, after its six-game win streak – which probably saved coach Mack Brown’s job – was snapped in a 38-13 blowout home loss to Oklahoma State.

“We had an odd range of numbers – as low as Texas -2 up to Texas -8, which I had personally,” Korner said. “I sent out Texas -6. This game has meaning only to Texas, and I didn't see how Tech was going to be motivated in this spot. The Longhorns need the win. I'm glad to see our opener is a lot higher than the offshores, but I did notice early money on Tech. That seems like a really strange move. I only see this line coming back up.”

Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan (+13.5)

Even if nothing is on the line, this game is always huge. In this case, the ramifications for Ohio State are huge.

The Buckeyes (11-0, 6-4-1 ATS) have a shot at squeezing into the BCS Championship Game if they can remain unbeaten. Michigan (7-4 SU, 6-5 ATS) has no shot at reaching the Big Ten title game, but the Wolverines’ season would be deemed a full success if they beat the archrival Buckeyes.

Michigan is 1-8 SU and ATS in its last nine against Ohio State, winning 40-34 two years ago at the Big House but failing to cash as an 8.5-point chalk.

“Another double-digit favorite in which this plays into the favorite all the way,” Korner said. “Ohio State needs the game, while Michigan is playing for some obscure bowl game being played on a Tuesday night sometime in the future. There is no way Ohio State is distracted."

“Our range went from Ohio State -10.5 to -14.5, and we sent out -13.5. It looks like there was some early money on Michigan, but we're not going for that. Anyone hanging this line on the light side will pay for it come game time.”

UCLA Bruins at Southern California Trojans (-6)

Prior to this weekend, both these teams had a shot to reach the Pac-12 title game. But Arizona State’s victory over UCLA on Saturday knocked both the Bruins and USC out of contention, so they’ll play this one for pride.

Southern Cal (9-3, 6-6 ATS) has stunningly regained its form since firing Lane Kiffin, going on a 6-1 SU run (5-2 ATS), including a 47-29 victory at Colorado on Saturday as a 21-point favorite. UCLA (8-3 SU, 7-4 ATS) had won three in a row SU before the 38-33 loss to ASU as a 3-point home underdog.

“This is a good game, which we wouldn't have expected four weeks ago,” Korner said. “Four of my oddsmakers had this in the range of USC -3 to -5.5. I personally had -9. USC has been the nuts since their shakeup. I tempered my bad line to send out USC -6, while I stared at a -3.5 on the offshores. Both teams are having good seasons, but USC is winning games by an average of almost 17 points the past five contests. The only big game UCLA has had in the past five weeks was at home against Colorado. No big feat. I think this number climbs come game time.”

West Brom v Aston Villa: What bettors need to know

Round 12 of the Premier League fixture list comes to a close with West Brom hosting Aston Villa Monday. The fixture could prove to be an exciting one as both clubs will fight to get into the top half of the table.

West Brom v Aston Villa (+120, +240, +260)

Why bet West Brom: The Baggies have four points in their last two games, including a 2-2 draw against Chelsea, prior to the international break. They could receive a big offensive boost with the potential return of Nicolas Anelka and Scott Sinclair, both of whom missed the aforementioned Chelsea match.

Key players out/doubtful: Zoltán Gera, Ben Foster, Billy Jones

Why bet Aston Villa: The Villains can sneak their way into the top 10 with a victory at the Hawthorns Monday, which would be quite a feat considering the Villains field one of the youngest XI's week in, week out. The club posted a big 2-0 win over Cardiff before the week off, but could be without influential midfielder Fabian Delph for this one. Villa has been surprisingly good away from home, collecting eight points in five away matches.

Key players out/doubtful: Jores Okore, Charles N'Zogbia, Fabian Delph, Gabriel Agbonlahor

2012-13 fixture result: West Brom 2, Aston Villa 2

Key betting note: Aston Villa has played under the 2.5 goal total in their last five Premier League matches.

49ers, Redskins look to end losing skids Monday night
by Zach Cohen

Kickoff: Monday, 8:40 p.m. ET
Line: San Francisco -5, Total: 47.0

The 49ers look to get back on track with a road win over the lowly Redskins on Monday night.

Both San Francisco and Washington have lost two straight games. The most recent defeat for the 49ers was against the Saints on the road where they fell 23-20, but covered as 3.5-point underdogs. Washington, on the other hand, has two straight SU and ATS losses, dropping road games to the Vikings and Eagles. The last time these two teams met was in November of 2011 when San Francisco prevailed 19-11 on the road as a 4.5-point favorite. Since 1992, the 49ers are 4-1 SU against the Redskins in Washington, but are just 3-2 ATS in those games. As the coach of San Francisco, Jim Harbaugh is 14-3 ATS versus poor defensive teams that allow more than 5.65 yards per play. However, teams such as Washington after a game where it forced no turnovers, against an opponent after a game where it forced 3+ turnovers, are 138-79 ATS (64%) over the past 10 seasons. Although Redskins starting WR Leonard Hankerson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury and starting TE Jordan Reed (concussion) is questionable, top WR Pierre Garcon (ankle) is listed as probable. The 49ers will likely be without CB Tarell Brown (ribs) and G Mike Iupati (knee), but there's a slight chance that they could be getting back top WR Michael Crabtree, who has missed the whole season recovering from a torn Achilles.

The 49ers have lost two straight games and their offense has really struggled in those defeats with a paltry 14.5 PPG and 173.5 total YPG. Against the Saints last week, the 49ers rushed for a season-low 81 yards on 22 carries (3.7 YPC). San Francisco ranks last in the NFL in passing offense with a paltry 168.0 YPG and QB Colin Kaepernick must play better if the 49ers are going to get back to the playoffs. After tallying a 98.3 passer rating in 2012, that number has dipped to 81.8 this season as he has completed just 56.7% of his passes for 1,802 yards (7.2 YPA), 11 TD and 7 INT. He has also lost four fumbles. Despite last week's struggles, the Niners are still a great running team with 141.0 rushing YPG (5th in NFL). RB Frank Gore has led the way this season, rushing for 748 yards with seven touchdowns, and before being held to 48 yards last week, he had compiled at least 70 rushing yards in each of his previous seven contests. Kaepernick has contributed a lot to the running game too with 335 yards (6.0 YPC) and three touchdowns on the ground. San Francisco’s offense is much better when TE Vernon Davis is healthy. Davis has been slowed by numerous injuries but still has 34 receptions for 553 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns this season. WR Anquan Boldin has been the top target with 630 receiving yards, but the possible return of Michael Crabtree (1,105 rec. yards, 9 TD last year) could really add another element to this offense. San Francisco’s defense has been solid this year allowing just 323.8 total YPG (7th in NFL). This includes 220.0 YPG through the air (10th in NFL) and 103.8 YPG on the ground (T-12th in NFL) The Niners rank fourth in the league in scoring defense (17.8 PPG allowed) and sixth in defending third downs (35.0%). This has also been a very opportunistic unit with multiple takeaways in six of their past seven games, forcing 18 turnovers during this stretch.

After surprising many with a playoff berth last season, Washington has had a very disappointing 2013 campaign. The Redskins offense has moved the ball very well this season with 412.1 total YPG (6th in NFL), which includes 256.9 YPG through the air (11th in league) and an NFL-best 155.2 YPG on the ground. The problem, however, is that the Redskins are getting these yards after falling behind early and that their defense can’t stop anybody. Washington’s defense is allowing 389.9 total YPG (28th in NFL), including 274.9 YPG through the air (26th in league) and 115.0 YPG on the ground (19th in NFL). The Redskins have also been terrible in the red zone (68% efficiency, 2nd-worst in NFL), which has led to 31.1 PPG allowed (3rd-worst in league). This is despite being on the field for just 28:36 (6th-fewest in NFL) because of how well the Washington ground game has been. RB Alfred Morris has been one of the few bright spots for Washington as he has rushed for 918 yards (5.1 YPC) and five touchdowns on the season. The Redskins offense would be better off giving him the ball more often than letting QB Robert Griffin III continue to turn the ball over. Griffin has really struggled this season as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, throwing for 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. That is twice as many picks as he threw in 15 games in his rookie year, when he finished with 20 TD and 5 INT. And after rushing for 815 yards (6.8 YPC) and 7 TD in 2012, Griffin has just 345 rushing yards (5.2 YPC) and zero touchdowns this season.

2 UNIT = San Francisco 49ers @ Washington Redskins - 49ERS -5 (-110) *Monday Night*
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.82 units)

This is a great San Francisco team, despite a 6-4 record and 3-2 road record. They've lost two in a row vs two probable playoff NFC teams in Carolina and New Orleans, and their other two losses came against two other probable playoff teams in Seattle and Indianapolis. If you look at their other games we have margins of victories of 32, 14, 12, 31, 24, and 8. Monday night they will face a struggling 3-7 Redskins team that has lost two straight and 3 of their last 4 games overall. Most of Washington's struggles have come from their defense that ranks 28th in the league and is giving up 31.1 papg. The 49ers rank 7th defensively and are giving up just 17.8 papg. The 49ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 21-5 ATS in their last 26 Monday Night games, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs NFC opponents, and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss. The Redskins are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Monday Night games, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs NFC opponents. This 49ers team should be able to control this game, and will again prove on National Television that they are a serious NFC threat. Take the 49ers laying the points.

Grizzlies' Gasol out indefinitely with MCL sprain

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol is sidelined indefinitely with an MCL sprain in his left knee and the All-star is worth a couple of points to the Grizzlies lines moving forward.

"He is worth maybe one-and-a-half to two points," Michael Stewart of Carbonsports.

Gasol injured his knee in the first quarter of Friday night's 102-86 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

It is uncertain when Gasol will return to the Grizzlies lineup, but he will be hard to replace in the meantime. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is averaging 16 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 blocks per game this season.

Road dogs, Unders have a hot week in the NBA

Here is a quick look at three trends that were slam dunks this week in the NBA. Road dogs and the Under were hot plays over the past seven days.

Teams on the road covered the spread 66 percent of the time this week, going 33-17 in that span.

What was even more impressive is that road dogs went 25-12 against the spread in the past 7 days, covering 68 percent of the time.

When it comes to totals, teams got defensive this week going 28-17 against the Under. That's a clip of 62 percent.

WINNING POINTS

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Ohio State* over Wyoming by 26
Get Wyoming away from their 7,000 foot trap, where they invite mice, put them in
the lair of a well-rounded, high class opponent, and watch them put their tails between their legs unless Thad Matta gets cute and wants to play like Tom Izzo of Michigan State did against Columbia.
OHIO STATE, 71-45.

Kentucky* over Cleveland State by 27

South Florida* over Oklahoma State by 1

**PREFERRED
Marquette over Arizona State* by 5
Smokin’ Herb and the host Sun Devils have skewered lesser, lighting it up on the
offensive end with 90- and 80-point games. Marquette couldn’t get out of the 30s vs.
Ohio State. Slam-dunk for Arizona State, right? Oh, come on. We’d rather be accused
of being too cute, than being too naïve.
MARQUETTE, 69-64.

GULF COAST SHOWCASE (Esterio, FL)
San Diego over Illinois-Chicago by 7

Southern Illinois over St. Bonaventure by 1

MAUI INVITATIONAL (Maui, HI)
California over Arkansas by 9
Cal is taking good care of the rock early on, and they show up on the Big Island with
bigger and better bigs than the Razorbacks.
CALIFORNIA, 79-70.

Syracuse over Minnesota by 2
Little Pitino vs. Boeheim! With Tubby’s players!
SYRACUSE, 69-67.

Gonzaga over Dayton by 15
Not sure how excited the ’Zags will be to face the Flyers, but Dayton is way, way out
of its comfort zone, as well as its time zone.

Dayton forced turnovers 25.6% of time in 4-0 start, winning by 10 at Ga Tech in only road game; Flyers made 40% from arc to starts its season. Gonzaga made 48.4% from arc, 60% inside arc in 4-0 start, but all four of those games were at home. Zags turned ball over only 14.6% of time; they've got good guards. A-13 road underdogs are 7-6 away from home.

Pitt won first four games by 19+ points, rebounding 50.4% of misses; Panthers made 38.8% from arc, but Fresno State (75-54) was only team they've played ranked above #187. Tubby Smith is coaching Texas Tech now; Red Raiders lost by 12 at Alabama, beat four stiffs at home. Big X underdogs are 6-3 vs spread. ACC road favorites are 6-2 vs spread.

Stanford is off to 4-1 start; they scored 103 points in only loss at home to BYU, and is making 41.2% from arc. Houston is 5-0 against a group of stiffs; #187 Lehigh was only one ranked above #270. Cougars lost its star Joseph Young to Oregon but still has three starters back from 20-13 team. Pac-12 favorites are 22-13, 2-0 on road. Big X underdogs: 6-2.

Texas is 4-0 despite making 58.6% from foul line, with only one win by more than 10 points; Longhorns are somehow shooting 41.3% behind arc- foul line must be too close. BYU lost last game 90-88 at home to Big X's Iowa State, which shot 63% inside arc. Cougars won at Stanford by 112-103 score- they're pretty good. WCC faves are 17-10, 1-3 on road.

Wichita State is 4-0 vs D-I teams, with all four wins by 14+; Shockers are forcing turnovers 22% of time, holding teams to 28% from the arc, but #167 Tulsa is best team they've played. #81 DePaul is 3-1, losing at home to Southern Miss after leading by 12 early; Demons are turning ball over 20.2% of time, but making 41.6% of their 3-point shots.

Timberwolves at Pacers: What bettors need to know

Minnesota Timberwolves at Indiana Pacers (-7, 193.5)

The Minnesota Timberwolves' ability to compete in the challenging Western Conference will hinge, at least in part, on their ability to win on the road. They'll face their stiffest test to date Monday night as they travel to Indianapolis for a date with the powerhouse Pacers. The Timberwolves are languishing near the .500 mark thanks to a pedestrian 2-5 mark away from Minnesota, and they'll be in a tough spot against an Indiana team that has opened with seven straight home wins.

The Pacers have responded well to their first loss of the season just over a week ago, earning road victories over the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics before returning home and eking out a win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Center Roy Hibbert was the star in that one, pouring in a season-high 27 points and hauling in 13 rebounds against the undermanned 76ers. Minnesota comes in fresh off a disappointing 112-101 loss to the Rockets in Houston.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), FSN Indiana

LINE: Indiana have held steady as 7-point home faves. The total opened at 194 and is down slightly to 193.5.

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (8-7, 9-6 ATS): After enduring a frustrating 2012-13 campaign that saw him appear in just 18 games, Minnesota power forward
Kevin Love is finally healthy and putting up MVP-caliber numbers through the first month of the season. The 25-year-old comes into Monday's game averaging 24.9 points and 13.6 rebounds - both ranked top-4 in the NBA - while adding 4.5 assists. Love is one of the few elite big men with a consistent 3-point shot but it has abandoned him of late; he has made just two of his last 11 attempts from beyond the arc.

ABOUT THE PACERS (12-1, 9-6 ATS): Indiana has its own MVP candidate in small forward Paul George, whose emergence as a superstar-in-the-making has
played a significant role in the Pacers' early-season success. The 23-year-old ranks just behind Love in scoring at 24.2 points while adding 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in nearly 37 minutes. George has also displayed his chops on defense, helping Indiana hold opposing teams to a league-low 87.6 points on just 39.7 percent from the field.

TRENDS:

* Favorites is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.
* Home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.
* Over is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings.
* Timberwolves are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Indiana.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Indiana has won three of the previous four meetings, including a 107-91 victory in their previous encounter on March 13.

2. Love averages 16.1 points and 13.9 rebounds in seven career games against the Pacers.

3. George averages 21.9 points at home compared to 26.8 points away from Indiana.

Monday afternoon NCAAB: What bettors need to know

Arkansas Razorbacks at California Golden Bears (-4.5, 143.5)

California will try to take advantage of its length in the post when the Golden Bears meet Arkansas in the opening game of the Maui Invitational on Monday. Richard Solomon and David Kravish are tall, rangy shotblockers who also rebound very well for the Golden Bears. Solomon has set career highs in rebounding in two of the last three games while Kravish recorded a school-record 63 blocks last season as he and Solomon combined for 100.

The Razorbacks are led by 6-6 wing Alandise Harris, who spent two seasons at Houston before transferring to Arkansas, a school he once committed to as a sophomore in high school. Harris is averaging 18.3 points in 21.3 minutes off the bench this season, helping the Razorbacks average 88 points through their first three games. Harris averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds as a sophomore at Houston before sitting out last season under NCAA transfer rules.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, ESPN2.

LINE: The Golden Bears opened as 4-point home faves and have been bet to -4.5. The total for this game is off the board.

ABOUT CALIFORNIA (4-0, 2-1 ATS): Justin Cobbs has played well after the departure of backcourt mate Allen Crabbe to the NBA. He has 25 assists through
the first four games to give him 352 for his career and keep him as the active assist leader in the Pac-12. He’s been joined in the backcourt this season by freshman Jabari Bird, who’s averaging a team-high 13.5 points.

ABOUT ARKANSAS (3-0, 3-0 ATS): The Razorbacks have been getting solid production from sophomore guards Michael Qualls and Anthlon Bell, who are
averaging 16.3 and 12.3 points, respectively. Qualls was relatively unknown last season while averaging just under five points and four rebounds, but has gained attention this season, mostly for highlight-reel plays. Bell and Qualls are shooting better than 50 percent from the floor this season while Bell is making 47.1 of his 3-point attempts.

TRENDS:

* Arkansas is 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall.
* California is 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall.
* Over is 4-1 in Arkansas' last five games overall.
* Under in 5-1 in California's last six non-conference games.

TIPS INS:

1. Bird’s 54 points through the first four games are the most by a Cal freshman since Ryan Anderson scored 85 in his first four contests in 2006.

2. Arkansas coach Mike Anderson coached Cal guard Ricky Kreklow when they were at Missouri during the 2010-11 season.

3. Cal went 2-1 at its lone appearance at Maui Invitational in 199

Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Syracuse Orange (-3, 136.5)

Played at neutral site in Lahaina, Hawaii.

No. 7 Syracuse and Minnesota will put their undefeated records on the line when they meet Monday on the opening day of the Maui Invitational. Both teams struggled against inferior opponents last week; the Orange trailed for most of the second half Monday against St. Francis (N.Y.) before pulling out a 56-50 victory and the Gophers sneaked by with a 10-point victory Tuesday against Coastal Carolina. Minnesota will face its first tough test of the season against Syracuse, which moved from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference this season.

The most talented player on the floor will be C.J. Fair of Syracuse, one of 50 players on the Naismith Men’s Player of the Year watch list. The 6-8 forward is coming off a miserable 2-for-13 shooting performance against St. Francis but can hurt teams in a variety of ways and from different spots on the floor. Minnesota has good protection around the rim with 6-11 center Elliott Eliason, who blocked a career-high seven shots in a 79-57 victory against Wofford on Thursday.

TV: 5:30 p.m. ET, ESNP2.

LINE: The line has been steady at -2 for the Orange. The total for this game is off the board.

ABOUT SYRACUSE (4-0, 0-2 ATS): Trevor Cooney was named ACC Player of the Week after scoring a career-high 27 points in his first collegiate start last week against Cornell. The 6-4 guard struggled from 3-point range last season, shooting 26.7 percent, but has converted 10-of-22 from beyond the arc this season. The Orange have another 6-8 forward in Jerami Grant, whose father, Harvey Grant, played 12 seasons in the NBA.

ABOUT MINNESOTA (5-0, 3-0 ATS): The Gophers returned their top two scorers from last season and Andre and Austin Hollins have picked up where they left off. Andre Hollins was limited to seven points against Wofford but scored at least 18 in the other four wins and is on pace to become the first Minnesota player to lead the Big Ten in scoring since Kris Humphries in 2003-04. Austin Hollins has reached double figures in scoring in every game this season and has contributed double-digit rebounds twice.

TRENDS:

* Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall.
* Syracuse is 2-5 ATS in its last seven versus teams from the Big Ten.
* Over is 4-1 in Minnesota's last five neutral site games.
* Under is 4-1 in Syracuse's last five neutral site games.

TIP INS:

1. Minnesota coach Richard Pitino is the son of Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who got his start as an assistant to Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim.

2. The Gophers have 36 steals this season, the most in the Big Ten through the first two weeks of the season.

3. Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis scored 42 points against China as a member of Team Canada’s under-19 team last summer at the FIBA World Championships.

Tale of the Tape: 49ers at Redskins

They were applauded for their performances as first-year starters in 2012 - but one year later, Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III find themselves struggling with the sophomore slump.

The two slumping signal-callers face off Monday night when Kaepernick leads his San Francisco 49ers into Maryland to face Griffin's Washington Redskins. San Francisco comes in having lost back-to-back games, while the Redskins are all but out of the playoff picture at 3-7.

Read the breakdown in our betting tale of the tape:

Offense

No team in the NFL has had more trouble moving the ball through the air than San Francisco, which is averaging an anemic 168 passing yards per game. Kaepernick has struggled mightily in the absence of star wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who won't be back against the Redskins but may make his season debut the following week. The 49ers' saving grace has been the run game, which is averaging a robust 141 yards per game and has racked up 15 touchdowns.

Griffin has regressed but is still orchestrating an above-average pass attack, averaging 257 yards per game with 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He'll be hard-pressed to match his season averages with the 49ers' staunch defense opposing him and standout tight end Jordan Reed sitting out the contest as he recovers from a concussion. Washington's run game has been elite, averaging a league-best 155.2 yards while scoring 12 touchdowns.

Edge: Washington

Defense

The 49ers continue to be one of the stingiest teams in the league when it comes to pass defense, limiting the opposition to 220 yards per contest with 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. One area that has given San Francisco trouble is the pass rush, where it has registered just 21 sacks totaling 150 yards. The 49ers have allowed just 103.8 rushing yards per game so far this season, with an average of 3.9 yards against per carry and nine scores surrendered.

The Redskins have been victimized all season long by opposing pass attacks, surrendering 275 yards per game through the air with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Washington has also struggled to generate much of a pass rush, coming into the Monday nighter with 25 sacks for 162 yards. Washington's run defense hasn't been much better, giving up 115 yards per game on 4.3 yards per attempt and allowing 15 touchdowns through the first 10 games.

Edge: San Francisco

Special Teams

San Francisco's return game has struggled for most of the year, averaging just 20.9 yards per kickoff return and seven yards per punt return. The 49ers are a minus in both categories, having surrendered an average of 22.5 yards per kickoff-return attempt ans 7.4 yards per punt-return chance. Veteran placekicker Phil Dawson has connected on 14-of-17 field-goal opportunities in 2013, and hit both attempts - including a 55-yarder - in last week's loss to New Orleans.

Washington hasn't done much in the return department, averaging 20.2 yards per kickoff return and just 5.8 yards on punt returns. It has been stingy with kick returns, allowing just 20.3 yards per attempt, but has been burned for a pair of punt-return touchdowns and is allowing 18 yards per attempt - the second-worst mark in the league. Kicker Kai Forbath has hit just 7-of-11 field-goal attempts this season, and didn't have a single opportunity last week versus Philadelphia.

Edge: San Francisco

Notable Quotable

"It would have been much better to have played these guys earlier in the season than now. This is game 11 and he's 11 weeks improved from where he was in their opener ... So he's getting more and more confident with his knee." - 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio on Griffin and his improving running ability

"I know his receiving corps has been banged up. He's had some guys injured. He hasn't had his number one receiver in Crabtree, Mario Manningham just came back, and so that hurts you, having lost them." - Redskins LB London Fletcher on Kaepernick's struggles

Where the action is: Public loving the 49ers

Monday Night Football features a pair of struggling NFC teams as the Washington Redskins host the San Francisco 49ers.

We talk to oddsmaker Michael Stewart of Carbonsports.ag about the action coming in on Monday Night Football and where the odds could move come kickoff.

San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins - Open: +5, Move: +6.5, Move: +6

The 49ers come into this week's Monday night affair losers of back-to-back games. They opened anywhere from 4.5 to 5-point road faves and saw a slew of early money.

Despite the poor play, the 49ers remain one of the better ATS bets in the league, with a record of 7-3 ATS.

If you glimpse at the other end of the spectrum, you'll find the Washington Redskins. The 'Skins own a 3-7 ATS mark and are also riding a two-game losing streak into the primetime matchup.

"We opened the 49ers -5 and all the early money was on the road favorite," Stewart tells Covers. "Very early in the week we went to -5.5 and on Wednesday with all the early money on the 49ers we went to -6."

Stewart notes that upon moving to +6.5, sharps moved in and backed the Redskins at that number.

"So far, 75 percent of the action is on the 49ers and no question, the public loves them in this game. We learned by going to 6.5 early that the wiseguys love the Redskins in this game," he says.

The total opened at 48 but moved off that number after seeing sharp action.

"We immediately saw sharp action bet us under that number and we moved a full point off that sharp action, going to 47," Stewart said. "But at 47, we saw nothing but over action and that pushed us to 47.5, a number we've been dealing all week."

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities
By JASON LOGAN

Spot bets are classic handicapping practices that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Letdown spot

Want to know how much air has been sucked out of the Baylor Bears after getting balled by Oklahoma State in Stillwater Saturday? The LVH Superbook in Las Vegas dropped BU from +350 to +5000 on its BCS Championship futures board following the loss and oddsmakers aren’t expecting much from the Bears versus TCU this weekend, setting them under two-TD road favorites in Forth Worth.

Baylor not only has to pick its tighty-whities off the turf after the pantsing by OSU but is dealing with a broken heart, with its national title hopes dashed. Football bettors have seen this same struggle with Oregon since losing all hope after the loss to Stanford. The cherry on top of this spot bet sundae is that BU has a showdown with Texas for a spot in the Big 12 title game in Week 14.

Lookahead spot

The Brooklyn Nets’ “Big Three” (or “Big Four” depending on how big a Brook Lopez fan you are) has been a big bust so far this season. Kevin Garnett looks 100 years old, Paul Pierce hasn’t shot this bad since his rookie season, and Deron Williams is once again limping up and down the court. The Nets are 3-10 (4-9 ATS) out of the gate and have lost five straight heading into Tuesday’s trip to Toronto and Wednesday’s home date with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Brooklyn needs some time away. Thankfully – pun intended – the Nets get that break with Thanksgiving Thursday and a western road trip to Houston and Memphis at the end of the week. With a chance to get away from the court and escape from the merciless New York media, the Nets could get caught looking ahead to a belly full of turkey and the solitude of a hotel room before handling business versus a Lakers team picking up steam off three straight wins and covers.

Schedule spot

When is a home game not a home game? When it’s played in another country. The Buffalo Bills come to the comfy confines of the Rogers Centre in Toronto to “host” the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Buffalo fans have long been miffed over this yearly game in Canada (you would be too if your team was 1-4 SU and 1-3-1 ATS north of the border), losing a great home-field edge in the November cold at Ralph Wilson and instead trading it in for the indoor track in T.O. – a venue that plays right into the Falcons’ hands.

While this week's outing in Toronto is slotted as a home game, the Bills’ schedule has them playing four of their final five games away from Buffalo. They hit the road for two straight weeks – in Tampa Bay and Jacksonville – then are back home against the Dolphins before trip to New England for the finale. Oh, BTW, weather in Buffalo Sunday: High 30s, chance of rain, winds 15 mph. Home sweet dome…

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Derrick Rose to miss the remainder of season

The Chicago Bulls have announced that point guard Derrick Rose will miss the remainder of the season after he had surgery on his right knee Monday.

Rose left Friday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers in the third quarter and did not return.

He missed the entire 2012-13 season as he recovered from an ACL tear in his left knee.

According to Peter Childs of Sportsbook.ag, he doesn't possess the same level of value he once did.

"His season averages were all very well below his previous years, which is to be expected. But his below average numbers reflect his diminished value to the pointspread. I would say he’s worth 2.5 to at most 3 points."

But other Eastern Conference clubs - namely the Indiana Pacers - will be keen to seize an opportunity.

"What this really does is set up the Pacers to win that division and to easily secure the 2nd seed in the East, maybe the No. 1 seed if the Heat stumble."

At one time this would have been an automatic play and win but how the times have changed, the dog at home on Monday night football. Most of these players may not even know its Monday, oh well. We will still play on the Skins and take the points at home against an overrated 49er team and the trends lead us in that direction as Washington has gone 5-1 ATS on Monday’s when coming off of back to back SU and ATS losses and Mike Shanahan owns a record of 16-2-23 ATS as a dog with a losing record in games off of two losses including going 11-0-1 when meeting a team coming off a loss.

CBB Game: Oklahoma State at S. Florida (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 149.5 (-110)
Oklahoma State has put together one of the best teams they have had in quite some time, and
they have earned a top 10 ranking. They like to push the ball, but playing a methodical South
Florida team, that defends well, and goes deep into the shot clock is going to make things tough
to push this total into the 150s. The Bulls went the entire season a year ago, with combined
points of under 150 except in one game vs. DePaul, and many of their games vs. top Big East
opponents were played in the 50s and 60s, so I don't see this one getting there. Oklahoma State
is 24-9-1 to the UNDER themselves in out of conference games in their last 34. Make the play on
the UNDER.

NHL betting: Away faves still sizzling

One of the best betting trends on the ice this season has been away favorites winning hockey games.

The away fave is currently sporting a record of 59-22-3-7, or cashing in at a rate of 64.84 percent.

With a decent-sized slate of games on the ice Monday night, there is a few opportunities to jump on this spot.

The New York Rangers are -113 faves at the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning.

The suddenly hot Philadelphia Flyers are -109 faves at the lowly Florida Panthers.

The Phoenix Coyotes are -113 faves at the Nashville Predators.

The Chicago Blackhawks are -143 faves at the Edmonton Oilers.

THE GOLD SHEET
PRO FOOTBALL
*San Francisco 30 - WASHINGTON 20—Last year, these respective
starting QBs were read-option sensations, burning defenses for big runs. Now,
RGIII is still striving to regain his old quickness and passing accuracy after LY’s
ACL, while Colin Kaepernick is seeking to learn the nuances of the NFL passing
game vs. defenses committed to keeping him in the pocket. The home dog on
Monday night angle becomes less attractive in this one considering that the
underachieving Redskins are 0-5 SU as a dog this season, with all their losses
by 7 points or more! That puts more of the focus on defensively-superior San
Francisco, which has definitely shown more grit this season than Washington,
whose stop unit has been terribly disappointing (31 ppg). The hard-nosed
Niners are made of sterner stuff than Washington TY. TV—ESPN

FOOTBALL PROPHECY
WASHINGTON 30 - San Francisco 27 - (8:40 - ESPN) -- What has happened to
these 2? Well, for the 'Skins, Griffin's health has been a continuous concern,
thus a 3-7 log, despite Washington ranking 5th in total "O", & 7th in scoring "O".
Check Redskins with 1,128 RYs in their last 6 games (2-4 SU, ATS). The 49ers
have little trouble, overland, but rank 32nd & last in aerial yardage, with seemingly
unstoppable Kaepernick at just 180 PYpg & 11/7 (335 RYs). Check SanFran
with a 637-347 yd deficit the past 2 weeks. The 'Skins are solid 12-2 ATS before
taking on the Giants, but Harbaugh is 8-0 ATS as a chalk of less than 5 pts May
be too late for Washington, but the 'Skins have 75-65 pt edge in their last 4 HGs.

WINNING POINTS
PRO FOOTBALL
San Francisco over *Washington by 7
All of a sudden the 49ers have a two-game losing streak. Playing Carolina and at
New Orleans in back-to-back weeks can cause that. San Francisco has a chance to
get well on the national stage against a Washington team allowing 31.1 points per
game. Frank Gore was stopped by the Saints, but had totaled 100 yards and/or
scored a touchdown in seven straight games prior to that. There's a chance of
Michael Crabtree making his season debut. Robert Griffin III is running more, but
has yet to regain his mojo. Thanks to Alfred Morris, the Redskins are the No. 1
rushing team in the league. The 49ers are holding opponents to less than 18 points
a game. SAN FRANCISCO 27-20.

SPORTS REPORTER
PRO FOOTBALL
SAN FRANCISCO over *WASHINGTON by 5
We like to seriously consider any home underdog that has the better defense. The
Redskins are allowing 31 ppg, so Jim Haslett’s Clown Show group obviously does
not have the better defense. Washington’s special teams are nothing special. The
49ers are facing three so-so units here coming off a pair of losses against one of
the best offenses in the NFL at New Orleans, and one of the best rushing offense/
defense combos when Carolina went to San Francisco and stole a game from
them. San Francisco is 6-4 SU. Arizona, their division rival, is also 6-4 SU. The
Seahawks are 10-1, so Wild Card is the thing for San Francisco now. In their four
losses to Seattle, Indianapolis, Carolina and New Orleans (combined records 31-9
SU), San Francisco has been owned in the fourth quarter by a cumulative score of
43-3. The Redskins (3-7 SU) have been a pretty good fourth quarter offense. RG2.0
always seems to be connecting for big plays and points in furious fourth quarter
rallies. But that’s because their defense can’t stop anybody and they’re always
behind! Those Redskins’ rallies? Mostly too little, too late, but for the Redskins’
sake, at least the 49ers bring a dismal passing attack to match up against the
NFL’s worst pass defense. SAN FRANCISCO, 26-21.

POWERSWEEP
PRO FOOTBALL
San Francisco at Washington (Monday) - The 49ers now sit at 6-4 after LW’s loss and after
not losing B2B games in the F2Y under Harbaugh they’ve done it twice this season. San Fran’s
streak continued as the SU winner in each game this year has also overed/pushed. The Skins meanwhile are off an upset at PHI and since game #3 they have rotated wins and losses both SU
& ATS. This is the 4th primetime game for Washington this season and they’ve disappointed so far
going 0-3 SU/ATS but did outgain DAL by 220 yds and MIN by 126 yards.

PLAYBOOK

San Francisco over WASHINGTON by 1
Okay, enough of the crying already. Jim Harbaugh’s whining (what else is
new) over a pivotal penalty from their heartbreaking loss last Sunday to
the Saints keeps resonating as he prepares his troops for a Monday night
visit to the nation’s capitol. [Editor’s Note: had the defending NFC champs’
offense mustered something more than the 196 yards they did against New
Orleans, or the 151 yards they compiled versus Carolina, they wouldn’t be
riding a two-game losing streak and trailing the Seahawks by 3.5 games
in the NFC West.] Truth be told, Colin Kaepernick is suffering from some
serious growing pains in his 2nd season as a starter in this league as he’s
passed for less than 200 yards in 8 of his 10 starts this campaign. And not
aiding their cause tonight is the fact that teams after knocking heads with
New Orleans are just 19-36 SU and 14-41 ATS since 2010, including 3-20
ATS of late versus foes off a loss. Yikes! That’s not to say the Hogs should
be rolling in the slop as they have troubles of their own at the moment,
residing in the cellar of the NFC East. The Skins’ 5-1 ATS mark on Mondays in
games off back-to-back SUATS losses, along with Mike Shanahan’s sterling
16-2-2 ATS career mark as a dog with a losing record in games off a pair of
losses – including 10-2 SU and 11-0-1 ATS versus a foe off a loss – cleans
things up a bit. Get the crying towels out and grab the points.

THE GREEN SHEET
PRO FOOTBALL
San Francisco (-4) WASHINGTON (47½) 7:30 PM
The 49ers have lost two in a row to raise some alarm but this happened to
San Francisco early in the season and the team rebounded. Those were
both blowout losses while the last two have come by slim margins. Washington continues to struggle, blown out early last week before a late
climb back into the game. The 49ers have the third best point differential in
the league and while the defense has eroded the offense should have an
opportunity to get back on track this week. There seems to be new issues
weekly for Washington, a team allowing 31 points per game. 49ERS BY 7

BOB BALFE

REDSKINS/49ERS UNDER

Neither team is in rhythm right now. RG3 and Kaepernick are making good decisions with the football. For the Redskins I think it has to do a lot with RG3 just not having his motor from last season’s injury. Colin Kaepernick just has nobody to throw the ball to as this set of receivers is brand new this year and they have yet to click. The 49ers have a very good defense and they play disciplined football. The Redskins Defense has struggled, but again I don’t see San Francisco coming down here on the road and putting up a ton of points in this weather. This comes down to two QB’s in which I am not confident in either of them sustaining long drives to put points on the board. Take the Under.

PLAY ON: SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS minus over Washington Redskins

Tonight we'll play on San Francisco minus the points over Washington. The Niners are still one of our top 5 teams in NFL in our power ranking index and we love to play on great teams off a straight up loss, especially when that game is against a bad defensive team like Washington. In fact, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has only lost 10 regular season games in his NFL coaching tenure and his opponents in the next game have scored 13 or more points just two times. Defensively there is no comparison between these two teams as the 49ers give up just 18PPG while the Redskins allow an average of 31PPG. San Francisco has the 10th best overall defense in the NFL while Washington is 29th. Now you can argue the 49ers offense has really struggled the past two weeks but remember that was against a Panther D which is 3rd overall in the NFL in total defense while the Saints are 5th. Prior to the previous two games the Niners had scored 31+ points in five straight games with an average margin of victory of 23PPG. A huge step down this week against a really bad Washington defense should be just what the 49ers offense needs to get their mojo back. The Skins haven't won a game this year as an underdog and have lost those games by an average of 7PPG. The Monday Night home underdog theory doesn't work anymore as teams in that situation are 12 games under .500 since 2001. Lay the points with San Francisco.

Best of luck...ASA

STATFOX FORECASTER

SAN FRANCISCO (233) AT WASHINGTON (234)
Latest Line: Washington +4.0; Total: 47.0

Two teams mired in two-game losing skids meet Monday night. San Francisco has generated just 173.5 total YPG in its past two losses while Washington has 430 total YPG in its past two defeats, which both came on the road. The 49ers could get top WR Michael Crabtree (Achilles) back for this game, while the Redskins could be missing two starters, WR Leonard Hankerson (knee) and TE Jordan Reed (concussion). This matchup pits two of the top five rushing offenses in the NFL with Washington (155 rushing YPG) piling up 188 rushing YPG since Oct. 1. San Francisco dominated the ground (138 to 52) when these teams last met in 2011 in the nation's capital, a 19-11 Niners win.
