NFC Divisional Round: #5 San Francisco 49ers @ #2 Carolina Panthers

[Jr.]

Panthers won in San Fran earlier this year 10-9. San Fran didn't have Crabtree in that game, Carolina will have a hobbled Steve Smith this game (most likely). Jonathan Stewart might be back for Carolina also.

I don't know what to expect. I have no idea how Cam is going to play in his first playoff game, but I do think the defense will be okay. I'm just not sure if Carolina can score enough.

Charlotte will be rockin for the first playoff game in 5 years at Bank of America Stadium.

On paper should be low scoring. Although everytime it looks that way it ends up being a shootout.

I like Carolina in this one, I think they are a little more dynamic on offense, and will score just enough to pull it out.

Carolina........49ers scare nobody.

I feel like Carolina will win this game. Their defense is pretty damn good and they have a familiarity with an athletic QB like Kap so they know what to look for.

I think the key will be how Cam starts. If he's slow out of the gate than the game is going to be real close and tough for them but if he's on all cylinders than it'll still be a tough game but the Panthers should be more equipped to win.

May be the minority here but I feel like a humbling game is coming for Carolina. Niners have been here before. Not sure if Cam will be able to make the throws when his back is against the wall. Just my personal hunch but I see a 27-9 type game.

I'll be travelling, so I won't be able to see the game, unfortunately. Despite the result earlier this season, I have a feeling San Francisco will win this. I hope I'm wrong.

The same was said last year for Kap before facing GB. I don't think "experience" will matter for Cam. I think it will be a good game though.

I have to work so I won't be able to watch either. I'll be recording it and probably tracking on my phone as I did with the Iron Bowl this year.
