These are two of the hottest teams in the NFL, so something's got to give on Sunday.

The 49ers enter this game as six point favorites, and will look to continue their strong run when they have extra time to prepare. The big storyline will be the Panthers front seven against the 49ers rushing attack. The Panthers have the talent to stick with just seven men on the line, whereas most teams facing the 49ers have brought an eighth, and occasionally ninth man to defend the run.
