New England Patriots QB Tom Brady Out for Season: In the first quarter of the week 1 game between the Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots , reigning NFL MVP Tom Brady went down in tremendous pain after stepping up into the pocket, and throwing a pass downfield to Randy Moss. BodogLife.com has the best Betting Odds for Week 2 of the 2008-2009 NFL regular season. According to various reports around the league, Tom Brady’s injury might be severe enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the entire NFL regular season, which could be devastating to any postseason and Super Bowl hopes.  It has been reported that Tom Brady suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in his left knee, and the team has scheduled an MRI for Monday. Brady, who was trying to avoid a heavy pass-rush, immediately fell down and reached for his left knee. The Pats QB did not come back on the field, as the feeling in Gillett Stadium wasn’t good. The Patriots went on to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by a final score of 17-10. However, all the attention now shifts to Brady’s status, as loosing him would be the absolute worse case scenario for New England. In his postgame press conference, head coach Bill Belichick , said that there were no updates to report at that time. But according to team sources, they've said that Brady’s injury “it’s bad”, and that they "are going to have to play without him”. New England’s 4th year QB Matt Cassel is presently Brady’s backup, as he came in and finished the game. But clearly, Cassel is not nearly good enough to fill Brady’s shoes. Cassel went 13-for-18 en route to 152 passing yards, and a touchdown. The Pats will likely make an official announcement after Monday's MRI.
