49ers at the Panthers (UPDATE: PANTHERS WIN 31-14)

The 49ers and the Cats are my two favorite teams in the NFL. There’s no question, though, as to which team I’m going to root for today. The question is who is going to win, because they both stink.

SF is sitting on a 3-8 record, while Carolina rests uncomfortably at 4-7 and is eager for a win. We are, BTW, winless at home this season but hopefully that will change today.

The 1pm game will be broadcast on Fox.

In other NFL news, all eyes will be on the Redskins today as they take the (home) field versus the Buffalo Bills. This will be the ‘skins first game since the murder of safety Sean Taylor last Monday.

Update: The Panthers finally win a game at home this year – 31-14. ST reader NC Cop, who was in attendance today, must have been our good luck charm
