NFL Week 14: Washington at San Francisco odds, picks and predictions
In theory, the San Francisco 49ers should be called the Arizona 49ers, as the team is not able to host their next two home games at Levi's Stadium due to Santa Clara County COVID-19 regulations. But the league was able to quickly find them a temporary home and coincidentally, it was their division rivals Arizona Cardinals who would be giving them their stadium for the next two weeks.
Nonetheless, the Washington Football Team will yet again travel to Arizona, as they had taken on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of this season. Washington looks to continue its winning streak and keep their playoff hopes alive against the 49ers.
They will also meet some familiar faces, as 49ers tight end Jordan Reed and tackle Trent Williams will be going against their old team for the first time since being released this past year.
Washington quarterback Alex Smith will also be facing the 49ers franchise that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft.
