Jimmy Garoppolo has led the San Francisco 49ers to a 5-0 record. Heading into Week 7, he is now going to be pitted against the Washington Redskins. Garoppolo is finally healthy, is having a big year, with expectations suggesting he can lead his squad against the Washington Redskins.

So will he continue his strong play? Or will he struggle and let the Redskins pick up their second win of the season? Let's breakdown 3 bold predictions for Sunday's game.

3. Jimmy Garoppolo throws for under 250 yards

Even though Garoppolo has had a nice start to the season, his stats don't really jump off the page. He has thrown for 1,163 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions. In three of the five games he has thrown under 250 yards.

The 49ers have had a lot of success on the ground this year, and that will continue in this game. Two games ago against the Browns, Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman combined to run for over 200 yards.

The passing defense hasn't been good for the Redskins, but the running defense has been even worse, and the 49ers will try to attack that. Garoppolo is going to have a good game, but he will still finish with under 250 yards passing.

2. Garoppolo throws one interception

As good as the season has been for Garoppolo and the 49ers, he's having an interception problem at times and in this game he is going to throw at least one of them.

As bad as the Redskins have been on defense, they have had seven interceptions this year led by Quinton Dunbar, who has picked off three.

There has only been one game where Garoppolo hasn't thrown an interception. This will be another game with one, as the numbers suggest. It won't have a huge effect on the game, but he will give one away to the Redskins.

1. Garoppolo doesn't have a passing attempt in the 4th quarter

There is a chance  Garoppolo plays in the 4th quarter, but don't expect him having any pass attempts. Before their last game against the Dolphins, the Redskins scored 10 points total in the previous two games.

This feels like a 28-6 type of scoreline which means it's all going to be about running out the clock in the 4th quarter. If he does play in the 4th quarter he won't be making any pass attempts.
