Carolina at Buffalo

August 15, 2026
img1:00 PM Eastern

Bryce Young gets his first preseason snaps of the year Saturday afternoon, with Dave Canales committing him to 10-20 reps after Carolina held him out of the Hall of Fame Game entirely. That's a real look at Carolina's actual starting quarterback. Buffalo counters with a coaching staff that's only confirmed one thing: defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard expects his starters to play. New head coach Joe Brady hasn't said the same for Josh Allen, and the growing expectation in Buffalo is that Allen sits this one out, handing the offense to Kyle Allen or Shane Buechele, who are still sorting out the backup job themselves. A game priced around this matchup's regular-season gap doesn't account for one team's true starting quarterback taking the field while the other's stays in sweats. Carolina is getting the better half of that trade, and the price hasn't caught up. Take the Panthers on the moneyline Saturday afternoon.
