Carolina Panthers at Colts: Betting preview and how to watch on Sunday

Excitement is building for the Carolina Panthers as they gear up for a stern test at the Indianapolis Colts in preseason Week 1.

The Carolina Panthers take on the Indianapolis Colts in their first preseason game ahead of the 2021 season this weekend. Head coach Matt Rhule will be looking for a strong start from his young roster, with two joint practices also held with Frank Reich’s team at Grand Park before the clash.

This is the first time the Panthers have seen any meaningful action since their Week 17 loss against the New Orleans Saints. Teddy Bridgewater’s final game in Carolina before he was traded to the Denver Broncos for a sixth-round pick.

Sam Darnold is the new man under center. But just how he’s going to perform will have huge ramifications both for the Panthers and the player’s ambitions of becoming a productive starter.

The Colts earned a playoff spot in 2020 and boasts high hopes of similar fortunes this time around. Carson Wentz could be ready for the season opener along with All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson, with Indy’s defense also set to make some significant strides if everything clicks into place.

It will be a good measuring stick for Carolina’s new-look outfit. One that will tell Rhule and his staff plenty about what more might be needed to become playoff challengers themselves.
