[Reality Check]

Rooting for Atlanta. Knowing that it's likely New England in the end.

This.

Every damn year, it's always to see which team has the best chance to beat the Pats in the SB.

Atlanta can definitely keep up with the Patriots in a shootout, no question about that. However, their defense just...I don't know, 28th against the pass is tough to overlook. I think New England gets it done in the end.

Patriots 38 Falcons 31

Pats obviously heavy favorites, but after predicting the packers to blow out atlanta I'm dont making predictions.

Favorites yes but not heavy.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Oops not favorites

 

[Avs_19]

Pats open as 3 point favourites.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I think the Patriots defense is overrated. Who have they played all season? Even in the playoffs? A crappy Brock Osweiler? Banged up, inconsistent as *** Roethlisberger?

That's not to say they're terrible, but they're not as good as people think.

I think Atlanta pulls the upset.

Love this argument. Completely disregards how dominant they are against the run. They just do not get gashed on the ground and that, combined with their offense, puts teams in situations where they have to throw.

We essentially had a dominant defense in the '14 Super Bowl year. The only difference now is no Jones/Collins/Wilfork but it disregards a now dominant Butler and the development of the young players along the D-Line front.

It shouldn't be a surprise.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Believe me, my god, if I could turn back the clock on deflating footballs, I would certainly, reconsider it.

I hope Atlanta wins.

BUT given the history of #1 scoring offense vs. #1 scoring defense in the Super Bowl, it seems that the ball is in New England's court

 

[Belieber]

The greatest NFL QB to ever live will pad his amazing resume and win another Super Bowl without even having his best weapon. Pats will out coach and out QB the Falcons and I think their experience will play a big role in this game, knowing what the Super Bowl is all about with the build up, media, pressure.

Maybe Gronk was holding back the Pats?

 

[The Drop]

2 worst games of championship weekend in a long long time.

hopefully a better SB.

I think NE wins this

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Falcons by 14 and Brady doesn't get to see the Cheeto in Chief at the White House for a celebration.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Goddell having to face Kraft, BB & Tom Terrific on the podium will be must-see TV.

Thankfully it won't happen.

 

[kihei]

Atlanta looked great, but New England looked even better. I think there balance will win the day, maybe even fairly easily.

 

[c9777666]

I don't care about Goodell.

Seriously, are people rooting for the Pats just because of the possibility of him handing over the Lombardi?

Quite frankly, NE winning again would be boring as heck.

 

[What the Faulk]

When you have to cheer for either the only other team in your division to not have a SB, or the Patriots.

Seriously, I could not imagine a worse matchup as a Panthers fan. But this game is going to be so much fun. Two great coaches and QBs going against each other. Very deep teams. I don't see it being a blowout.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

So does Atlanta.

Atlanta has the same amount of prep time, they just don't have Bill Belichick.

 

[kingsholygrail]

There's always the chance the Falcons can "Eli" the Patriots.
