Just whether the Carolina Panthers can gain anything from their Week 15 clash at the Buffalo Bills is irrelevant. But it’s absolutely essential Matt Rhule’s men show some fight in the face of significant adversity.
Carolina is a team trending in the wrong direction. The Panthers have almost no hope of reaching the playoffs or even attaining a winning record in 2021 following a pathetic run of form that’s left more questions than answers about the current state of the organization.
The Bills might be 7-6, but they are still one of the league’s most feared teams. Led by former Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, Buffalo reached the AFC Championship game in 2020 and no team will be too keen on facing them early in the postseason.
Couple this with going to Buffalo and a really cold environment, it’s not hard to see why the odds are heavily stacked against Carolina in this one.
Panthers Injury Report at Bills Week 15
The Panthers will be without Derrick Brown and Matt Barkley – who are both on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Although this is a blow, Carolina has emerged relatively unscathed compared to other teams across the league and hopefully, this is a trend that continues until the campaign comes to a conclusion.
Veteran cornerback A.J. Bouye will miss the game with a foot problem. D.J. Moore is listed as questionable but is expected to play.
Here is Carolina’s full injury report for Week 15:
- CB A.J. Bouye – Out (foot)
- WR D.J. Moore – Questionable (hamstring)
- OG Michael Jordan – Questionable (hamstring)
- OG John Miller – Questionable (ankle)
Here is Buffalo’s injury report vs. the Panthers:
- RB Taiwan Jones – Questionable (knee)
- DT Star Lotulelei – Questionable (toe)
- WR Emmanuel Sanders – Doubtful (knee)
- DE A.J. Epenesa – Questionable (ankle)

WynnBET’s Week 15 NFL odds have Carolina as 12.5-point underdogs on the road. The money line odds are +500 for the Panthers (bet $100 to win $500), with the Bills currently sitting at -700 (bet $700 to win $100).

Honestly, tipping Carolina to cover the spread in this one would be the play if the team demonstrated any sort of reliability. But perhaps betting the over 45.0 points might be more beneficial at this juncture.
