Sunday’s showdown with the Redskins is fast approaching and the 49ers continue to be heavy favorites. According to VegasInsider.com the Niners are 9.5 point favorites at most sportsbooks and for good reason: they are better than the Redskins in almost every facet of the game. Offense, defense. Coaching. You name it. And that alone should be more than enough to ensure an easy win for the 49ers come Sunday.
But it’s starting to look like there will be another outside factor that could play a role in the game: The weather.
The current forecast for Sunday - which had originally called for clear skies and sunshine earlier in the week - is now calling for rain.
