These are the No. 1 and No. 2 scoring teams in the NFL. The offenses are healthy, but the defenses aren't.

Carson Palmer and Cam Newton each had career-best regular seasons. Palmer has a healthy trio of wide receivers that rank among the best in football as a unit. He's going against a Panthers secondary down two of their three best cornerbacks. They also aren't likely to have pass rusher Jared Allen. Arizona has scored 26 or more points in 70 percent of their games.

Newton accounted for 45 touchdowns with his passing and running. He has a healthy Jonathan Stewart in the backfield and faces an Arizona defense that is weakened by the loss of safety Tyrann Mathieu and linebacker Alex Okafor. Newton has three receiving targets who averaged more than 14 yards per catch, including Greg Olsen, maybe the second-best tight end in football. Only once in their last 15 games have the Panthers failed to score at least 27 points.
