Patriots Open Up as 3 point favorite vs. Atlanta

[SHOWTIME15]

2017 Super Bowl line, odds: Patriots slight favorites over Falcons, huge over/under

 

[fightingirish595]

Doesn't surprise me because we're more balanced. I thought it would be a pickem

 

[BKapatsfan]

probably end at 2 the over under should be interesting...

 

[pwes]

Also probably the SB experience vs the non-experience.

 

[The_Riddler]

Should be a lot of fireworks in this one. #OneForTheThumb. #LetsFinish

Pretty interesting to me. I had heard last week that the current line for pats Falcons was -6. If that was true, the Falcons must've REALLY impressed people today

I'd give the Pats 5-6 Points. They have been underrated all year. Still a 1 score game and the first one i feel we will have had for a while.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

We are "huge" favorites. We were pick ems vs Seattle and -2.5 vs NYG last time. Will we have seven straight Super Bowls decided by 4 points or less? Oh my poor blood pressure.

I think this is accurate. Pats D has to hold ATL under 30.

Say Pats 31 - ATL 28.

 

[Dr Pain]

Atlanta defense ranked 25th defense in yards and 27th in defense points per game

Atlanta #1 scoring offense Patriots #3, I see a huge difference between these teams

Not this team.

I have no rational explanation for why I have believed this for awhile now (maybe since the Ravens game?), but I had visions of a the Pats running away with one in the SB after beating two playoff opponents handily...so far, so good.

[Ochmed Jones]

In a lot of ways, Atlanta is a lot like Pittsburgh, big strong armed qb who spreads he ball around, star wr, rb's, and a pressure defense,

Our job is to not come off the bye week rusty, aka the Houston and Seattle games, and the o line to give Brady time to carve up the Atlanta defense,

We must outscore Atlanta. But more important is getting a lead in them early.

 

[Free_Pacman]

Should be 6 points. We haven't won a super bowl comfortably, but I think this will be it. 31-17

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Shut down Julio....their D doesn't scare me. Us being there before and most of these players being through this before will be a huge plus in our favor

 

[fightingirish595]

Dont sleep on the Atlanta D, its played much better the last half of the season

 

[fightingirish595]

Best Offense we will see, we gotta do what we do. I honest'y expect us to play a posession game, I wonder if bill will maybe design his gameplan to be similar to superbowl 25. the Giants had the ball for 40 min in that game (Still almost lost)

I don't know much about them other than they are the 27th ranked scoring in the regular season. I like the Patriots #3 scoring offense against the Falcons #27 scoring defense over the Falcons #1 scoring offense against the Patriots #1 scoring defense.

Yeah thats fine , I just dont think they are as bad as the numbers suggest, but they arent great, we should have success
