SUPER BOWL SUNDAY| 6:30 PM ET | FOX SPORTS NETWORK


@


NRG Stadium




Brady / Ryan


Early line: New England Patriots (-3) over Atlanta Falcons

Over/under: Falcons vs. Patriots (O/U 57). The opening total is the highest in Super Bowl history. The previous high was 57 for Super Bowl XLIV between the Saints and Colts.

Atlanta wins 38-31

Falcons win 30 - 20.

Patriots win 27 -21 if it gets passed that I see shootout in Falcons favor. Falcons playing inside helps them.

I don't see Atlanta being held under 30. They're too balanced. Pass/run. As genius as BB is. He doesn't have the personnel to do so.

Expect a heavy dose of running game from BLOUNT and Dion Lewis. That should help . The Patriots put the smack down on "killer bees"

Pittsburgh was w/out Bell for a good chunk of the game. They also were playing at home.

The game will be good one I think. The pats D is obviously much better than Packers.

Surprised to see Atlanta doing so well in the poll. Recency bias maybe? I think that Atlanta is a very good team and has a decent shot to win, but given even odds I wouldn't hesitate for a second to put my money on the Pats.

my vote for atlanta is more based of my total disdain for the patriots, would be awesome to see them win their first super bowl ever too, this cinderella story is meant to happen

Deangelo Williams was actually much more productive and a threat than Bell was in this game. You can tell from the onset that BB knew going for the home run against Bell is counter productive. This game was about gap control defense against Bell, and from the limited sample we saw in this game (and earlier this year) they were quite effective.

I think NE will slow down ATL's defense moreso than the other way around.

Nah its called the ultimate form of hate. Picking against the Pats in a poll of "who wins/who you want to win" is only common for most, its like expecting Kobe to win a poll of anything that would prop him up on realgm. Not gona happen.

Falcons are a great team, and the Patriots don't have Gronk (they've been very beatable without him in the past). It's totally fair to favor the Falcons. In fact, I would too.

Quit with the persecution complex.

When its a 70/30 vote split so far compared to the Vegas line of NE -3, one can logically deduce why the realgm poll is drastically different than what the professional bookmakers have out there. Its not hard to see there.

Atlanta is a great team no doubt, but their defense is similar to Pittsburgh in how they are perceived (improving but nothing special). That's never been the formula to beating the Pats. We shall see.

Giants had one, rush Tom and get him off his spot and have a good running back and passing game

Always take the NFC unless the Egals or Redskins are the representatives.

And just never take the Cowboys, period.

I have nothing against the pats but I would much rather see matty ice get a Super Bowl because he's one of my favorite players

I think pats will win, but I am hoping falcons do

So jealous...

Plain and simple. Falcons must get pressure on Brady UP THE MIDDLE. If they don't, they are screwed. They showed they can do that against the Packers.
