The Panthers boast a winning record after seven games but will be without starting quarterback Bryce Young when they host the Bills.

The Panthers look a great bet here with more than a touchdown start against the shaky Buffalo Bills.

The Bills have lost two games in a row but have failed to cover in their last four. The Bills major problems are their inability to generate explosive plays through the passing game, and their poor run defence.

The run defence is giving up 5.8 yards per carry, the worst mark in the entire league. That’s a concern against a Panthers rushing attack that has put up 110 yards or more in six of their seven games.

The loss of Bryce Young (to be replaced by Andy Dalton) will hurt, but if Dalton can manage the game, and not turn the ball over, which typically he is able to do, this game should go down to the fourth quarter.

Given that home teams that are 7 point underdogs or more are 40-11-2 in the first nine weeks oft the regular season, the 7.5 here is simply too big a line.

Rico Dowdle leads the NFL in rushing yards per attempt with 5.6. This feels like a good bet against the league’s worst rushing defence.

Suspect the Panthers will stick to a run heavy game plan – and if Dalton has to end up throwing it 34 or more times the result will be a big Bills win anyway.

It’s the backs doing the damage against the Bills, who have allowed nine rushing scores on six games this season. The in-form ball carrier is big odds for the first score here.
