Mike Spector's pick: Commanders +5.5 first half spread
San Francisco has the third-largest point differential in the second half this season (plus-31), while Washington has been outscored 95-to-61 after halftime (the league’s second-worst margin). The Commanders defense has also been a sieve in the fourth quarter, allowing an NFL-worst 55 points.

LJ Blut's pick: Rachaad White to score anytime touchdown
With the Commanders expected to be without starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, White could see an opportunity to make an impact and capitalize on scoring chances.

Brenden Schaeffer's pick: George Kittle Over 64.5 receiving yards
Kittle has reached 70 or more receiving yards in three of his five games this season and faces a favorable matchup for more damage in this one. Entering Week 6, the Commanders have allowed the fifth-most yards per game to the tight end position.
