The San Francisco 49ers are a 5.5-point underdog against the Carolina Panthers, but one former Panther is going with the upset! NFL Network analyst Steve Smith offered up his prediction Sunday morning, and he thinks the 49ers can spring the upset. You can watch the video above.
Smith opened by saying he grew up a 49ers fan in California, and he feels some freedom now that he’s retired. However, he also mentioned that Kyle Shanahan has done well early in previous stops, and thinks he can do so again in this game.
