Expect the 2026 Hall of Fame Game odds to fluctuate through the week. The Carolina Panthers were as much as a 76% favorite to win the game when the market opened on June 29 at Kalshi. That win probability dropped the next day, and the two sides have flipped back and forth since.
The Panthers announced on Monday that veteran Kenny Pickett would draw the start over Bryce Young. Don't expect many Week 1 starters or top rookies to take the field. Player availability and any announced roster decisions will continue to impact the odds. QB Kedon Slovis can be expected to get the bulk of playing time under center for the Arizona Cardinals.

2026 Hall of Fame Game odds: Player props
The player prop markets for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game will continue to be released and take shape throughout the week. As of Monday, we have touchdown, rushing yards, and passing yards markets. These markets are less mature than the game lines above.
Check out our NFL prop projections for help with your Hall of Fame Game picks.
Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: To score a touchdown
| Market | |
|---|---|
| Jeremiyah Love 1+ | 57% |
| Trevor Etienne 1+ | 59% |
| Jeremiyah Love 2+ | 20% |
Jeremiyah Love—the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and one of the top fantasy football picks—is the main attraction of the 2026 Hall of Fame Game, if he takes the field. Love playing meaningful minutes in something less than a preseason game seems unlikely to me.
I'd be much more inclined to trade on "No", but that costs 98 cents as of Monday.
Panthers running back Trevor Etienne actually has the higher probability of reaching the end zone at least once, but 2+ touchdowns isn't listed as an option at the time of publishing.
Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: Rushing yards
| Market | |
|---|---|
| Jeremiyah Love 25+ | 90% |
| Jeremiyah Love 40+ | 88% |
| Jeremiyah Love 50+ | 60% |
| Jeremiyah Love 75+ | 50% |
| Jeremiyah Love 100+ | 39% |
Jeremiyah Love is once again the main (and only) attraction in Kalshi's rushing yards markets. I expect Love to see a couple early touches before giving way to undrafted free agents and other players on the roster bubble heading into the NFL preseason.
I'll be looking to trade on the No side of these markets once they've matured and drawn more volume closer to Thursday.
Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: Passing yards
| Market | |
|---|---|
| Carson Beck 75+ | 92% |
Even with the Panthers announcing Kenny Pickett as their starter for the Hall of Fame Game on Monday, Cardinals rookie Carson Beck is the only quarterback listed from either team in the passing yards player prop.
It's unknown if he'll even take the field, so I'll be waiting to know more about Thursday's depth charts.
Odds are correct at the time of publishing and are subject to change.
