Can't get against the best team in football. Matt Ryan won the MVP award but in the most important game of the season I would rather back Tom Brady. Patriots has lost twice to Giants in the finals but those Giants teams posseses great defense. Atlanta has not. They have some playmakers on defense but in general the defense is the weakness especially the secondary. I am sure Brady will execute the gameplan Bellichick has set and feed Edelman and Hogan early and often. Falcons do have great offense but I fully expect Bellichick to stick to his principles and take the best playmaker Julio Jones out of the game. Some may say it is not possible with his size and speed but just look what Patriots has done to Antonio Brown in conference finals. I am pretty sure Patriots will manage to limit Julio in some way. Falcons offense is great but they will face best scoring defense in the league. Of course the numbers might be inflated a bit as Patriots has had an easy schedule but still this is very good defense. Especially in the red zone. The same can not be said about Falcons. Last but not least the special teams are much better on Patriots side. Return of Dion Lewis gives Pats a lot in rceiving runninng but also in return game. Old Devin Hester has made some harm on Falcons in divisional round. Falcons are used to take the lead early but this will not be the case here. Think Patriots will control the game from start.
I'm following Elmo here, I am also very confident about Patriots covering that line and as he already said, Matt Ryan flops in most of important games. It doesn't get more important than Superbowl. Bamos Patriots!!
I also don't understand to these odds at all. New England Patriots clear favourites here for me too. But odds are go higher since Elmo's post. It goes up from 2,02 to 2,12. Is here any reason for it ?
Hey, where are all posts about a clear fix? This is sports, these kind of things never happen without a fix. Think about it. Falcons had everything to win fixing this game...
