The 49ers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Panthers are 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 home games and 3-15 ATS in their last 18 games overall. The under is 10-1 in 49ers last 11 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Panthers last 7 games overall. The 49ers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Carolina and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
There’s some value with the Carolina Panthers as home dogs, given the 49ers are on a short week. However, the Panthers haven’t done much well on either side of the ball, they struggle big time offensively and playing at home hasn’t helped much dating back to last season. The San Francisco 49ers are one of the best defensive teams in the league, and they pressure the quarterback. Baker Mayfield, who has had issues with turnovers, is sure to make a mistake or two here. I’ll take the 49ers by a touchdown.
