Lorenzo Reyes: 49ers 28, Panthers 13

San Francisco can be a mercurial play with Jimmy Garoppolo under center, but the Panthers may be the worst team in the entire league. Baker Mayfield hasn’t gotten into a rhythm and constantly has his passes batted down. This Niners defense should feast. And Matt Rhule’s job security keeps becoming more perilous.

Safid Deen: 49ers 28, Panthers 17

Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers defense, fresh off their win over the defending champion Rams on Monday night, go on the road and handle the struggling Panthers.

Lance Pugmire: 49ers 17, Panthers 16

The week’s lowest under (39.5) reveals little faith in Jimmy Garoppolo and Baker Mayfield, and the 49ers more stout defense likely paces the road victory.

Jarrett Bell: 49ers 24, Panthers 17

Nate Davis: 49ers 30, Panthers 13

Tyler Dragon: 49ers 27, Panthers 13
