49ers vs. Washington: Betting odds, history

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 13 of the NFL season. The defeat dropped the Niners to 5-7, and they currently sit one game behind the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals in the race for the seventh and final NFC playoff spot.
