A bye followed by a metting with Carolina would have looked like bliss to Buffalo at the start of the month, but the teams' fortunes have flipped in the intervening period. Back-to-back defeats mean the Bills are yet to win in October, while the Panthers have racked up three victories in a row for the first time in more than four years.

The caveat, of course, is that those wins came against the hapless Dolphins, Cowboys and Jets, and two of them were one-score results. Regardless, the Panthers haven't had a winning record this far into a campaign since 2021, so Dave Canales' men will be feeling pretty good about themselves right now. Their biggest concern right now is Bryce Young's ankle.
Nobody really expects the Panthers to take down the Bills — and yet. One of Carolina's key strengths corresponds directly with Buffalo's most glaring weakness. The Panthers' physical offense ranks amongst the top three in the NFL for rushing yards per game, and Rico Dowdle is lining up against the league's second-worst rushing defense.
Incidentally, the Bills' ground offense is the best in the league thanks to Josh Allen and James Cook III. It's their passing game that hasn't clicked. Dalton Kincaid has chipped in with three scores and Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman with two apiece, but they've been struggling to gain territory through the air.
