  • A windy forecast is creating betting value for Sunday's San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Redskins matchup.

As if the Washington Redskins' offense wasn't ugly enough, the weather for today's game against the San Francisco 49ers isn't going to make moving the ball any easier.

According to Sports Insights' NFL weather data, steady 10-12 mph crosswinds are expected at FedExField, which isn't ideal for the passing game. In addition, the National Weather Service calls for a 100% chance of rain, with accumulations of up to three-quarters of an inch possible.

49ers vs. Redskins Weather, Betting Analysis

According to Bet Labs, 56% of NFL games played in double-digit winds have gone under the total since 2003, so conditions like this often result in a lower-scoring game than the market expects.

Bettors seem to have already taken note, moving this total down to 40 at PointsBet, and even lower at many other sportsbooks.

There is also some value in Case Keenum's passing touchdown over/under prop for today.

Fantasy Labs' Player Props tool projects the Redskins quarterback to throw one touchdown pass today, a 13% edge when compared to the 1.2 touchdowns the current line of 1.5 (-250u) implies.
