San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick is 2-0 SU in his career in playoff road games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick has won both of his road games in the postseason during his brief career, including a 23-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers as 3.5-point road favorites last week.\u00a0 The 49ers have won their last seven games\u2014looking to gain revenge from a regular-season loss against the Panthers on Nov. 10.\u00a0 Kaepernick completed just 11 of 22 passes for a season-low 91 yards in that affair, which is hard to ignored when making your NFL betting picks.\u00a0 San Francisco is 5-1 SU and 3-2-1 ATS as road favorites of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The 49ers didn\u2019t have wide receiver Michael Crabtree available in the earlier meeting in this series, but he\u2019s coming off a great performance against the Packers, as he caught eight passes for 125 yards.\u00a0 He has 24 receptions for 583 yards with six touchdowns in six career playoff games, as the former Texas Tech star continues to get better each week after coming back from a serious Achilles injury.\u00a0 San Francisco needs to maintain balance on the offensive end by handing the ball off to Frank Gore, as he\u2019s hit pay dirt in four consecutive postseason affairs.<\/p>\n

Carolina hasn\u2019t played in this environment since 2008, as it earned the No. 2 seed by capturing the NFC South Division.\u00a0 The Panthers have posted a 200-84 scoring advantage in winning their last seven games at Bank of America Stadium, which is important to consider when looking over the NFL betting lines.\u00a0 Offensively, the team needs wide receiver Steve Smith back on the field, as he\u2019s been out with a knee injury.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that Smith hasn\u2019t caught more than six passes or recorded more than 69 receiving yards in a game this season.\u00a0 Carolina is 0-3 SUATS when coming off a week of rest the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Panthers finished No. 2 in the league in rush defense, as the unit prepares to face a physical 49ers ground attack.\u00a0 \u201cIt all starts with Gore,\u201d stated Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly.\u00a0 \u201cIf you can\u2019t stop him then you are in for a long day.\u201d\u00a0 On the other side of the ball, third-year signal-caller Cam Newton needs to avoid making costly mistakes, as he prepares to make his postseason debut.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the 49ers due to their 7-1 ATS mark in their last eight road games.<\/p>\n
