In this article we will formulate a Carolina Panthers vs Buffalo Bills prediction for this NFL Preseason game on Saturday, August 24th at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this preseason battle in week three. 

Carolina Panthers Betting Preview

The Carolina Panthers are 0-2 this preseason after they lost to the Jets by a score of 15-12 in their last game. Carolina was held out of the end zone for most of the game, but they did score their lone touchdown with no time left on the clock. Carolina was out gained by a total of 202-156 and went just 3-11 on third down in the game. Jack Plummer threw for 42 yards on 18 attempts, while Jake Luton threw for 19 yards. Dillon Johnson rushed for 83 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries. Carolina lost to New England by a score of 17-3 in their first game. 

Carolina went 0-3 in the 2023 preseason, which started with a 27-0 loss against the Jets. The Panthers lost their second game by a score of 21-19 against the Giants, before losing 26-17 against the Lions in their third game. We have yet to see Bryce Young or Andy Dalton this preseason, but Jake Luton is injured, so we should see plenty of Jack Plummer. 

Buffalo Bills Betting Preview

The Buffalo Bills are 1-1 this preseason after they defeated Pittsburgh by a score of 9-3 in their last game. Buffalo was tied at three at the half, but they scored the only points in the second half for the win. The Bills out gained the Steelers by a total of 245-219 and had one turnover in the game. Mitch Trubisky went 9-13 for 86 yards and an interception, while Ben DiNucci went 3-5 for 20 yards. Ray Davis rushed for 58 yards on eight carries to lead the backfield. Buffalo lost to Chicago by a score of 33-6 in their first preseason game. 

Buffalo went 2-1 in the 2023 preseason, which began with a 23-19 win over the Colts. The Bills lost to Pittsburgh by a score of 27-15 in the second game and beat Chicago by a score of 24-21 in the finale. Josh Allen is expected to sit out of this game and Mitch Trubisky is injured, so we should see Ben DiNucci and Anthony Brown Jr. under center. 

Carolina Panthers vs Buffalo Bills Prediction 

Carolina comes into this matchup after really struggling to score points in their first two preseason games and I don’t think it will be much better in this game. The Panthers scored their first preseason touchdown of the season with no time left in the game against the Jets and I don’t think Jack Plummer will find much success here. On the other side, the Buffalo quarterback room sounds like it will be led by Ben DiNucci for this game. Neither team has a quarterback advantage in this game, but I am going to fade this Panthers offense. My Carolina Panthers vs Buffalo Bills prediction is for the Bills to cover at home.
