I don’t know how else to say it except that Carolina’s opponents this season have largely been limited to singing the aforementioned lyrics by the now legendary Fat Boys rap group. All jokes aside, you might as well be going to prison when the Panthers show up with their ‘lockdown’ defense! Carolina ranked sixth in total defense (322.9 ypg), 11th against the pass (234.5 ypg), fourth against the run (88.4 ypg) and sixth in points allowed (19.2 ppg), some interesting stats players should consider before betting on the Panthers vs Cardinals game this weekend. The Panthers had four defensive stars earn Pro Bowl berths. Here’s a brief look at them.LB Luke Kuechly
Kuechly missed three-and-a-half games after suffering a concussion in Carolina’s regular season opener, but still managed to lead the Panthers in tackles with 121 tackles. Kuechly has also improved in pass coverage and looks as fast as any linebacker in the league today if you ask me.DT Kawann Short
Short may be the least known of Carolina’s four Pro Bowl defenders, but the third-year star has been downright dominant in the middle of Carolina’s defense. Short’s nine regular season sacks rank third in the NFL among all defensive tackles, not to mention the fact that he’s also forced three fumbles while recovering two.CB Josh Norman
Josh Norman has made a habit out of shutting down opposing wide receivers all season long. Norman was one of just eight players with multiple defensive touchdowns this season and racked up three forced fumbles to tie for the most among defensive backs. Norman’s 19 interceptions/passes defended are tied for fourth-most in the NFL and opposing quarterbacks had a pitiful passer rating of just 54.0 when going up against Norman, which was the lowest among all cornerbacks Make no mistake about it NFL betting buffs…Josh Norman is as elite as any cornerback in the game today. <center
