It may be the preseason, but NFL player props are pouring out in midseason form ahead of tonight's NFL Hall of Fame Game between the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.
Carolina has a 52% win probability in the 2026 NFL Hall of Fame Game odds.
The Panthers vs. Cardinals odds and player props at Kalshi — one of our best prediction market apps — are wide open, with Kenny Pickett and Carson Beck starting under center. However, Pickett will be relieved by rookie Haynes King at some point, so we can expect a variety of weapons being deployed tonight.
Here's my full breakdown of the NFL odds for player props available at Kalshi to help get your NFL picks started right on Thursday, Aug. 6.
2026 Hall of Fame Game odds: Player props
Player props are one of the most fun ways to engage with professional sports on prediction markets. Instead of focusing only on who is going to win or lose, or how many points will be scored, you can survey the landscape and target the "how."
Quarterbacks Haynes King, Kenny Pickett, and Carson Beck are widely available, while running backs Bam Knight and Corey Kiner are among secondary options. For a complete look at who's in and who's out, Rob Paul has you covered with his NFL Hall of Fame Game lineup updates.
Kalshi is currently offering four player prop markets for tonight's Hall of Fame Game:
- Player to score a touchdown
- Rushing yards
- Passing yards
- Passing touchdowns
Kalshi is also the only place where you can target player props for this preseason clash.
All you need to do at Kalshi is pick the prop you like, choose the "yes" or "no" option associated with it, and your market will settle when the prop is achieved or after the game if it doesn't happen.

Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: To score a touchdown
| Market |  |
|---|---|
| Haynes King 1+ | 29% |
| Bam Knight 1+ | 22% |
| Trevor Etienne 1+ | 18% |
| Corey Kiner 1+ | 16% |
| Evan Hull 1+ | 16% |
| Ja'seem Reed 1+ | 14% |
With the Cardinals announcing Jeremiyah Love as inactive, backups — and fringe roster players — Bam Knight and Corey Kiner have become the favorites to score.
Quarterback Haynes King — who's expected to play significant minutes behind Kenny Pickett tonight — has the highest probability of every active player. In his final year with Georgia Tech, King rushed for 15 touchdowns in 12 games, so it makes sense that his probability has risen sharply in the last few days.
Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: Rushing yards
| Market | |
|---|---|
| Haynes King 25+ | 69% |
| Haynes King 50+ | 21% |
| Bam Knight 25+ | 65% |
| Bam Knight 50+ | 35% |
King and Knight (checkmate) are the only available options with Love removed from the market. King averaged 79.4 yards per game on the ground in 2025 while picking up 5.2 yards per carry. If he gets in early enough, we could see a big debut.
This market and the passing yards props listed below can be toggled, so you can take a conservative approach on King at 25+ yards rushing or go a little bolder for 50+. You are in control and can choose your preferred line, with probability changing as you do.
Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: Passing yards
| Market | |
|---|---|
| Carson Beck 75+ | 79% |
| Carson Beck 100+ | 49% |
| Carson Beck 150+ | 36% |
| Kenny Pickett 50+ | 47% |
| Kenny Pickett 100+ | 21% |
| Haynes King 50+ | 87% |
| Haynes King 100+ | 47% |
Pickett was added to the passing yards market on Tuesday, with his lowest line set at 50+ yards and trading at a 74% probability. That didn't last. He's not even a coin flip to eclipse 50 yards through the air on the afternoon before kickoff. With the expectation that King will carry the bulk of the load for Carolina, Pickett's odds have nosedived.
Beck doesn't have the same restrictions, though he also can't be expected to play a full game. Still, his odds to throw for 100+ yards are greater than Pickett's to hit 50.
Panthers vs. Cardinals player props: Passing touchdowns
| Market | |
|---|---|
| Carson Beck 1+ | 53% |
| Carson Beck 2+ | 26% |
| Kenny Pickett 1+ | 39% |
| Haynes King 1+ | 39% |
The market isn't bullish on a lot of scoring coming through the air, which I'm sure will make for a truly thrilling preseason game. Nevertheless, Beck is the most likely to hit the end zone with just over a 50% chance of finding one of his targets.
With Pickett and King splitting time, it's anyone's guess if either, both, or neither find paydirt. King scored more frequently with his feet than his arm at Georgia Tech, while Pickett has thrown 16 career touchdown passes in 36 regular-season games (27 starts).

The 2026 Hall of Fame Game odds have stayed relatively stable throughout the week, with only minor fluctuations briefly moving it to a pick 'em on Tuesday. 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 has dropped precipitously ever since.
The Panthers announced on Monday that veteran Kenny Pickett would draw the start over Bryce Young, who will be inactive. Don't expect many Week 1 starters or top rookies to take the field — that includes top Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love, who'll be getting the night off. Player availability and any announced roster decisions will continue to impact the odds.
This game has drawn increased action this week, with trading volume closing in on $600,000 as of this morning. Volume was below $50,000 on Monday.
