Falcons get to choose which jersey they will wear. Past 5 Super Bowl winners have worn their white road jerseys.

Patriots open as three point favorites immediately after the AFC Championship game concluded.

I don't see how the Pats lose this game. Brady gets injured on the first drive? Falcons will have to do everything right just to stay close, but it's New England's game to lose. My prediction, NE - 31, ATL - 10. An overall boring game that most people watch for the commercials.


Then again I saw the Lions beating the Packers and we saw how that turned out, so maybe don't go to the casinos on my prediction Two weeks between games is an eternity in the NFL.

The Falcons offense will get them a lot more than 10 points. Have you watched them play this season? They are a well-oiled machine! The Pats D is going to be tough for sure, but Atlanta can still put up the points. This is going to be a high-scoring Super Bowl. And of course I'm predicting that my home team Falcons will come away with their first trophy. Go Falcons! Rise Up!!

I like Brady but I think with their RB's and corners against the Pats LB'S and WR's the Falcons could win by double digits. They have big match up advantages.

Soooooo looking forward to this game! Back in August, never would have thought the Falcons would be here. Matt Ryan is playing like he's never played before, and he's always been pretty damn good. Love this time of year!

I am no Pats fan, but it's just so hard to bet against them. Falcons are looking great, but the Pats have a ton of experience in the Super Bowl which is why I gave them a solid edge. Plus, they just always seem to win. Though I would be much happier with a Falcons win, and I wouldn't be shocked if Atlanta wins by 2 touchdowns. Super Bowls have a bit more unpredictability to them since you've got two of the best teams playing in any given year.

Go Falcons!

Go Falcons!


The classic cliche that scares me is that 'defense wins championships'. The Pats have the superior D. Be we have the current MVP leading the O!

Rise Up!!! Go Falcons!!

I was right .... about the first half. That Falcons Depot was worn out 2nd half and the coaches blew the game when they were in field goal range. Could have just ran it, milked the clock, and kicked a fg for the win.

Why they were snapping the ball with more than 2 seconds on the play clock at any point in the 2nd half is inexcusable.

Glad I am not the only one who was thinking this. Especially after they recovered the onside kick and the game was basically handed to them.
