San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is enjoying a great season thus far<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Francisco heads out with a 6-1 straight-up record and 6-0-1 ATS mark, coming off a 20-10 win over the Cleveland Browns as nine-point favorites.\u00a0 The 49ers have won the statistical battle the past three weeks after failing to do so in the first four games of the 2011 campaign.\u00a0 The team will be aiming to win six games in a row for the first time since 1997.\u00a0 \u201cIf you\u2019re in that locker room after the game, you don\u2019t have to say anything.\u00a0 You can just feel it,\u201d commented 49ers quarterback Alex Smith.\u00a0 San Francisco is 9-8 ATS on the road the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The 49ers have flourished under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh, especially Smith and running back Frank Gore.\u00a0 The former Miami Hurricanes runner has gained 675 rushing yards and scored five touchdowns in seven games.\u00a0 He comes in averaging 4.8 yards per carry.\u00a0 On the defensive side of the ball, San Francisco leads the NFL in allowing just 15.3 points per game, while causing plenty of turnovers in being tied for third in that particular category.<\/p>\n

Washington is suffering through a three-game losing streak that includes a 23-0 shutout loss to the Buffalo Bills as four-point road underdogs last week, as the team has been out-gained by a triple-digit margin in two of those contests.\u00a0 Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is going to stick with quarterback John Beck, who is coming off throwing 208 yards with two interceptions, but was chased relentlessly in being sacked 10 times.\u00a0 Washington is 2-1 at FedExField this season, losing only to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.<\/p>\n

The Redskins and 49ers have met 24 times during the regular season, winning three of the last five games, but trailing 9-14-1 all-time.\u00a0 Washington must get its offense turned around, averaging just 11 points and 273 yards during its current losing streak, which is light years away from the 21 points and 356 yards it opened the season with during an upstart 3-1 start.\u00a0 The defense hasn\u2019t been any better recently, surrendering 463.3 yards and total and a total of seven touchdowns during the dry spell.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Redskins due to their 4-1 ATS mark as a underdog of 3.5 to 10 points, while the 49ers are 1-6-1 ATS as a road favorite within the same range.<\/p>\n
