We are nearing the halfway point of the season as the Carolina Panthers square off against the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams have their playoff hopes sky-high. If the season ended today the 49ers would be the No. 1 seed and the Panthers would squeak into the postseason with the No. 6 wildcard spot.
The Panthers are coming off of their bye week winners of four straight games since backup quarterback Kyle Allen took over as the starter. They sit at 4-2 behind the 6-1 New Orleans Saints in the NFC South.
The 49ers have started off the 2019 season with a perfect 6-0 record.
