The best player prop bets as the Carolina Panthers get set for a tough challenge at Highmark Stadium against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.
There’s been a significant amount of money wagered on the Buffalo Bills this week, with the odds according to WynnBET now making the Carolina Panthers 12.5-point underdogs after opening +10.5. This is a testament to the significant challenge awaiting Matt Rhule’s men against a team that still has hope of going one better and reaching the Super Bowl despite some inconsistencies in 2021 so far.
Nobody is expecting much from the Panthers in one of the more difficult places to go at this time of year. But having little to no expectations has worked well for the team in the past and it could allow them to perform better than originally anticipated once again.
Of course, it could go the other way and see Carolina get a heavy beating in Buffalo. Something that would pile further pressure on Matt Rhule and his staff in the process.
Ahead of today’s contest, we picked out the three best player prop bets for anyone looking to make a wager on the game.
Prop Bet No. 1
Carolina Panthers hold Stefon Diggs under 73.5 receiving yards
One of the biggest factors to keep a close eye on is the projected battle between Carolina Panthers cornerback Stephon Gilmore and wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Both are elite at their respective jobs and it promises to be a mouth-watering clash whenever the two are lined up against each other.
Gilmore played every snap on defense for the Panthers last weekend and has an 88.1 grade from Pro Football Focus as a result of his outstanding level of production following the player’s trade from the New England Patriots.
The South Carolina product will have his hands full with Diggs, one of the league’s sharpest route runners who’s developed exceptional chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen.
That being said, Gilmore can still lock down almost anybody and we’re backing him to restrict Diggs to under 73.5 receiving yards at -115 (bet $115 to win $100).
