San Francisco looks to put together a rare winning streak

The San Francisco 49ers are 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games coming off a win. After earning a victory last Sunday, the 49ers will look to put together their first winning streak since 2014 with a win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

SHARK BITES
  • The 49ers are 23-8 SU in their last 31 games in Week 14.
  • The total has gone UNDER in four of the 49ers’ last five games.
  • The total has gone UNDER in four of the Texans’ last five games in December.

It wasn’t the flashiest of debuts without registering a single touchdown pass, but Jimmy Garoppolo got the job done under center for the 49ers in a 15-14 road win over the Chicago Bears. Garoppolo passed for 293 yards to help set up five field-goal attempts. Former Chicago Bear Robbie Gould hit all five, including the game-Sportsbook in the closing moments.

While the 49ers have been bad in recent years at going on winning streaks, the Texans have been good at ending losing streaks. Houston is 7-2 SU and ATS in its last nine games coming off consecutive losses and will have another chance to end a losing streak after dropping last Sunday’s road game to the Tennessee Titans 24-13. The Texans are 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS since losing Deshaun Watson with a torn ACL.
