Check a couple of SportsCenter clips and you’d think the Carolina Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals. But they lost the game and pro bowl linebacker Jon Beason for the season to a torn Achilles.

Kansas City gave itself the “Tomahawk Chop” versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. And things got even worse as its best defender, strong safety Eric Berry, is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Betting Analysis for Panthers: We hope Cam Newton has couple more 400-plus performances in him.

Beason has been the “Ray Lewis” of the Panthers defense for years. Without their field general to make adjustments the Panthers D can crumble under another loss or bad performance.

Guess what, the Green Bay Packers are next; they took the “S” away from the Saints in the NFL’s Thursday Night debut. Oddsmakers recognize, opening Carolina as 10.5-point underdogs at home.

Betting Analysis for Chiefs: It couldn’t get any worse than how the Chiefs got gunned 41-7 to the Bills in Week 1. Oh wait, it can.

Berry, Kansas City’s best playmaker on defense is gone till next September. Even with him Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was a couple of dimples shy of looking like Tom Brady versus the Chiefs secondary, finishing with 208 passing yards and four touchdowns.

The offense won't give them much help if Week 1 is any indication. The loss of offensive coordinator Charlie Weis covered up starting quarterback Matt Cassel’s mediocre skill-set.

The Chiefs face the Detroit Lions next week at home and are 9-point underdogs. Lions QB Matthew Stafford had 300-plus in Week 1. Stafford might get those dimples.
