The San Francisco 49ers will be aiming for their first SU win at home since Week 1 of 2016 when they host the Carolina Panthers in a season-Sportsbook matchup at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers have covered just once during their current 0-7 SU run on home turf, but host a Panthers squad that tallied just two SU road wins last season.
- The total has gone OVER in 13 of the Panthers’ last 17 games against the 49ers.
- The 49ers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games when hosting an East Coast team.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of the 49ers’ last 11 games as home underdogs.
The Panthers struggled to generate offense on the road last season, averaging just 16 points per game over their final five dates away from Bank of America Stadium. Carolina also surrendered a whopping 37.5 points per game over its past two visits to the West Coast, falling to defeat against Oakland and Seattle in the second half of the 2016 campaign.
Following a brutal 2-14 SU campaign in 2016, the 49ers have nowhere to go but up. San Francisco has lost by an average margin of 10.7 points during its current slide at home, but closed that gap in the final two home dates, including a narrow 25-23 loss to Seattle in Week 17.
However, Carolina has emerged as a reliable bet in recent meetings with the 49ers, going 13-2 ATS over their past 15 matchups.
