The reigning Super Bowl champions may have a 9-1 record, but they have also won several close games - a couple of which ended withgoing in KC's favor. The Panthers might also have momentum on their side, as they carried a two-game win streak going into their bye week, whereas the Chiefs are coming off their first loss of the season.Trust me, I know this sounds like the dumbest pick in the world — but +11 points at home is a frankly stupid spread...
Meanwhle, Carolina's pass rush got a huge boost from the addition of outside linebacker DJ Wonnum to the lineup two weeks ago.
