San Francisco 49ers vs Washington Commanders Odds

• Opening point spread: 49ers -13.5
• Opening moneyline: 49ers TBA/Commanders TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:45 A.M. ET SUNDAY: After spending the week bouncing between -13/-13.5 (see below update), the Niners advanced to -14 Saturday at BetMGM. Ticket count is 3/1 and money beyond 6/1 on San Francisco.

The total is at 49.5, up from a 48.5 opener. But it's two-way play, with tickets almost dead even and 55% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: San Fran toggled between -13 and -13.5 a couple times this week in BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds market. The 49ers are currently -13.5, with spread ticket count 2/1 and spread money 2.5/1 on San Francisco.

On the moneyline, there are plenty of early flier bets on big underdog Washington. The Commanders are taking 62% of tickets/76% of money.

BetMGM opened the total at 48.5 and on Wednesday went to 49/49.5/49. It returned to 49.5 today, with 61% of tickets/79% of cash on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: San Francisco (11-3 SU/8-6 ATS) is riding a six-game win streak (4-2 ATS). But the Niners aren't yet out of Week 16, facing a huge Monday night home game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington (4-11 SU/6-8-1 ATS) saw a huge road comeback fall short against the New York Jets. The Commanders trailed 27-7 at halftime and 27-14 through three quarters. Washington then got two fourth-quarter TDs to take a 28-27 lead with 4:52 remaining.

But the Commanders allowed a field goal in the waning seconds, losing 30-28 as 3-point pups.

Neither the 49ers-Commanders spread nor total moved tonight at The SuperBook.
