Week 5 NFL picks for 49ers vs. Panthers
Before tuning into Sunday’s showdown, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 140-105 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Panthers vs. 49ers, the model is backing the Under. San Francisco’s games are averaging just 29.3 total points, and the 49ers are the first team in 13 years to have each of their first four games finish with fewer than 35 total points.
The 49ers’ conservative style of offense and suffocating defense are big reasons why their games are so low-scoring. And Carolina isn’t the type of team to suddenly buck that trend as Mayfield ranks second-worst in completion percentage and third-worst in passer rating.
The model projects more turnovers than touchdowns for Mayfield, with Christian McCaffrey being the only Panther with more than 53 total yards. San Francisco is averaging just 10 points per game in road contests and, coming off a short week, the model has the Niners coming away with only two touchdowns. The Under (40) is projected to hit with room to spare, as Panthers vs. 49ers goes Under in well over 50% of simulations. You may be able to stream the game here.
