Predict the Score CONTEST, Super Bowl ATL vs NE

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for the SUPER BOWL, Atlanta Falcons vs New England Patriots.

This contest is open to everyone, it's both a weekly and a season-long contest. Stakes are bragging rights.

Each week I will tabulate and post the scores for the previous week's contest, as well as the cumulative season standings for those who have played every week. As a one-time allowance for computer problems, forgetfulness, or whatever, one week can be missed and will be assigned that week's average score.

Scoring:
Your score is the COMBINED deviation of your predicted score for the Pats and opponents REGARDLESS OF DIRECTION. For example, if you predict Patriots 35 Falcons 27 your score is how many points off of 35 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 27 the Falcons are (over or under again does not matter). Game winner does not matter. Lowest score wins.

You may change your prediction at any time before kickoff. Predictions made in other threads don't count unless they were clearly meant for this contest. Don't depend on "if this then this score, if that then this other score". Please keep this thread to predictions only, no back-and-forth discussion of the game. A short comment about your pick is OK.

Good luck!

The Pats and heart stopping Super Bowls... that's just how they roll. I'd love to see a convincing win for the Pats but the Falcons are a very worthy opponent and I actually think they bring their A game on defense. They'll make it tough for the Pats offense.

In the end I think the slightly better team takes it. I think ATL beats a lot of Pats teams in recent years but I think this team is tough enough and has gelled enough for one more. In fact I predict Brady does something he hasn't done yet... a Super Bowl winning TD drive in the final 2 minutes. That will be another notch for the legacy of the greatest.

27-24 Pats.
