The Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers will finish their respective preseason campaigns at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Bills are 2-0 going into their preseason finale. It's uncertain if quarterback Josh Allen will play, but if he does don't expect him to be out there for more than two series. Carolina (1-1) will probably let their starters and top reserves play a little longer in front of the home crowd.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday and the game will air on WIVB in Buffalo and WJZY in Charlotte. The Panthers are a six-point favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen did his thing for one series, throwing for 45 yards and a touchdown, but the story of Buffalo's 42- 15 win over the Denver Broncos was Case Keenum solidifying the QB2 spot with 192 yards and a touchdown. Keenum went 16-for-18 in the game. Bills quarterbacks combined to go 26-for-29 for 302 yards and two touchdowns. Tip of the cap to Duke Johnson (nine carries, 55 yards, two touchdowns) and rookie Raheem Blackshear (five carries, 58 yards) in their battle for carries behind Devin Singletary and James Cook.
Bills have decided to rest QB Josh Allen during their Friday night preseason finale vs. the Panthers.
