Schule's NFL GRIDIRON GUILLOTINE ~ PERFECT 4-0 LSUNDAY
(NFL) Kansas City vs. Carolina, 11/13/2016 8:00 AM, Score: 20 - 17
Money Line: -160.00 Carolina (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Carolina Panthers.

The defending NFC South champs got off to an ugly start this season, but the Panthers come into this Sunday's home game against Kansas City off back to back wins. The Chiefs escaped with an ugly home win over Jacksonville last week, despite the Jags gaining over 200 more yards (449-231).

The Chiefs are hoping quarterback Alex Smith can return after missing last week's game due to a concussion. Backup quarterback Nick Foles is questionable after suffering an injury to his throwing arm. Whoever starts at quarterback will miss top target Jeremy Maclin who is sidelined by a groin injury. They are also banged up on defense, missing Justin Houston and Tama Hali.

Kansas City relies heavily on the run, and it could be tough sledding against a Carolina defense that ranked 2nd in the NFL in run defense. The Panthers weakness is in the passing game, but the Chiefs aren't in a good position to take advantage of that. The Panthers held Todd Gurley to just 48 yards on 12 carries last week, and they should make life difficult for Spencer Ware who returns from a concussion.

Take CAR.
