Panthers vs. 49ers Prediction & Opening Odds for Monday Night Football: NFL Week 12
My best Panthers vs. 49ers prediction based on the opening odds for Monday Night Football focuses on the Panthers’ rushing attack and ability to drain the clock. My early picks anticipate a defensive battle between two teams ranked in the top half of the league in scoring defense when the action gets underway from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN).
The 49ers are trading as a 6.5- or 7-point betting favorite, but we're looking to the total as we make our NFL Week 12 predictions.

⬇️ Under 47.5 (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Panthers have the second-most rushing attempts in the league, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that three of their last five games have featured fewer than 30 points. Because of how much they run, they rank in the top 10 in the league in time of possession. However, they don’t do much with their long drives, ranking fifth-worst in points per game (18.8).
The 49ers rank 12th in rush defense and fifth-worst in pass defense. But the Panthers are a non-factor when it comes to throwing the ball, as they’re averaging just 187.2 yards per game. The 49ers have the second-ranked passing attack, but even if they score 30 for the third time in four games, the Panthers won’t score enough to push this Over.
DraftKings’ price of -108 implies a 51.92% chance that this Under hits. A $10 bet would profit $9.26.

↔️ Panthers vs. 49ers line movement
The overwhelming majority of bettors (75%) are backing the 49ers initially. With the 49ers’ last three wins coming by at least 10 points, and the Panthers scoring 16 or fewer in four of five, I expect bettors to continue to support the 49ers and this number to land at 7.5 or 8.
As for the total, three consecutive 49ers’ games have featured at least 58 points. With the Over hitting in more than half of each team’s games, I anticipate the Over getting some love, even if it’s not much. This will stay between 47 and 48 all week.
