San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers
Sunday, October 24, 2010  at 1:00 PM EST on FOX

The Niners have been awful this season but did get a gift as they picked up their first win over the Raiders in Week 6. It was an ugly win, led by beleaguered quarterback Alex Smith, but a win nonetheless. Meanwhile, the Panthers are a train wreck.  It appears that they are switching back to Matt Moore at quarterback. Horrific idea. Not only does that set back Jimmy Clausen’s progress, but it also creates chemistry problems with the WR’s. How do they ever expect Steve Smith to produce? Well it doesn’t matter as whoever is in the pivot spot will likely be spending most of his time running away from Niner’s linebacker Patrick Willis who recorded six tackles (three solo) when the 49ers beat the Raiders on Sunday. He is yet to really get on track with just one sack this season, but look for opportunities to improve those stats against Carolina. The Panthers’ running game is yet to utilize power running back DeAngelo Williams who has just one TD and 317 yards. Look for a 49ers win in a very low-scoring affair.
