How many rushing yards will the Patriots get Sunday?

Curious what people think. FWIW, the Falcons have allowed 104.5 ypg this year. In the regular season, New England in offensive rushing ypg is seventh with 117.0 (the Falcons are 5th with 120).

I think they go over the 150 mark.

The Atlanta teams lets up a bunch of yards after contact - they are bad tacklers across the board and after some underwhelming run blocking so far in the playoffs i'm hoping that the Pats O-line is going to blow up some big holes and stop Blount getting hit 4 yards deep.

I also happen to think that this game will be in hand by early 4th quarter and that the Patriots will be running the clock down with a grinding ground game.

Zero, because that Falcons defense is too good.

I think lower end like our other playoff games. Mainly because our passing game against a zone D will take priority. Desultory run game...

150+

Impossible to predict. I could see a game plan where they pound the run and run for 200 and I could see a game plan where they put it all in Brady's hands and run rarely.

If I had to guess I'd take the over because if they do put it all in Brady's hands they could gain 100 in the 4th quarter alone protecting a large lead.

Hopefully a lot. We need to run the ball and control the clock, hopefully we will have success against their poor tacklers. I'm also hoping that we have the game wrapped up late 3rd/early 4th so we can just run out the clock. above all, Blount is as motivated as anybody and I think he is ready to kick some ass.

170ish and Blount runs in 3 TDs

 

[IndianPat]

140 yards on 30 carries yards if we are ahead. 75 yards on 20 carries if we are playing catch up.

I think we will see the Pats run a lot of no huddle, and see a lot of two back back fields. I imagine we will see Blount and develin early and see if Atlanta can slow it down. When Brady begins to operate, Lewis and white will come out.
