The Washington Redskins were embarrassed last week, losing 27-7 to one of the worst teams in the league at home versus Tampa Bay. Now they have to go out on the road and play the San Francisco 49ers, a team that has won back-to-back games on the road against New Orleans and New York. The Skins are getting quite a few points, and I do think they can keep this game close.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Colin Kaepernick - He's having a pretty quite season overall, and he's completed just 29-of-61 passes over the last two weeks, with two TDs. He doesn't inspire a lot of confidence as a double-digit favorite needing to score points to cover a big spread.

2. Alfred Morris - The 24 year old RB has run for 188 yards and a pair of TDs, averaging 4.8 yards per carry in his last two games.

3. X-Factor - The Redskins ran for 114 yards on 26 carries in a loss to San Francisco last year.

Selection: This is a play on the Washington Redskins (8*)
