'Monday Night Football' prediction, odds, time: 49ers vs. Commanders picks by expert who's on 19-5 roll

After bungling the last 50-plus seconds in Sunday's overtime tie with the Giants, the Washington Commanders will look to turn their fortunes around when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in a key NFC matchup on 'Monday Night Football.' Washington was driving for the winning score in the extra session when it inexplicably ran one running play deep into New York territory and then never got another play off in the 27-27 tie. The Commanders are 0-2 on the road this season and 1-2-1 in the conference. The 49ers, meanwhile, are one of three unbeaten teams at 5-0, including a 3-0 mark against NFC foes.
