Panthers anytime touchdown pick

Haynes King to score a touchdown (29%)

Kenny Pickett will be starting this game, but it'll be Haynes King's offense for the better part of three quarters following his departure.

Out of Georgia Tech, Haynes was the 2025 ACC Offensive Player of the Year and will get a ton of run on Thursday night. This is a guy who's fantastic in open space, rushing for 953 yards on 185 attempts in his breakout, 2025 season as a senior.

Expect Dave Canales to call his number and see what he has in King, who's trading at 28 cents to score a touchdown. Fire him up as part of our Hall of Game expert picks.

Bam Knight to score a touchdown (22%)

Bam Knight will be your volume-based running back for the Cardinals, and he is one of the few players who actually has something to play for.

By now, we all know that Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier will work as a two-headed monster in the backfield this year, but they won't see the field on Thursday night.

James Conner may slot into that No. 3 spot as more of a change-of-pace, short-yardage back. However, he's still nursing a foot injury.

That leaves a battle between Trey Benson and Knight, and with the latter expected to get the majority of the carries, I'll press the button on him at 21 cents to find the end zone.
