The 49ers are 6-0 in their last six season openers and 8-2 in their last ten, so I can see why some would believe they’ll beat the Panthers. I think the Panthers will win this game because they are the better team, but anything can happen on any given Sunday. The game being in San Francisco could be an advantage for the 49ers, but I think the Panthers get the job done on the road.
Final Score Prediction
Panthers 27 - 49ers 10
