Alamo, thanks so much for doing this again this season!

Pats D shows exactly why they're ranked #1, and TFB shows the world who the REAL #1 offense is.... Belichick and Brady have figured this league out and they're playing with just about the healthiest roster we've taken to the SB. Pats get their first comfortable SB win.

Pats 52

Reverse psychology has been working for me so I say 24-21 Falcons

Sorry Patsfanin Philly. I didn't try to copy you. I had predicted this score before doing the squares at work and was hoping to land those numbers (NE 5 / Atl 7).
You must think Gostkowski will miss an XP

Great minds think alike.. I'm thinking 5 TDs and 3 FG or 6TD and another safety...

Patriots stats/info

Key offensive info

Brady - 330 yards 3 TDs 0 Ints 25/35 - SB MVP
Edelman - 110 yards 10 catches 1 TD
White - 70 yards 6 catches (feels like a White game to me.. short speedy guys breaking tackles)
Blount - 105 yards 20 rushes 1 TD
Bennett - 1 TD
Mitchell - 1 TD
Hogan and Lewis will not be key factors in this game IMO but will make some plays.
Cannon only 1 pressure allowed.

The Patriots run with Blount as he is the better option but put the game in Brady's hands. He wins with short passes and his WRs breaking tackles after the catch on occasion. Not many big plays. Also the Pats play a clean game with no turnovers as they know without turnovers on offense they are very likely to win cause if their D is not put in a bad spot they can slow them down enough and they don't feel a need to take risk vs this kind of D where they can get a lot of short safe passes and runs generally. Brady continues his dominance in Domes.

Key defensive info

Harmon 1 int
Flowers 1 strip sack
Branch will be put over the RG and dominate
Ryan with help on Julio Jones keeps him from breaking a big one

Overall: 10 drives 4 TDs 3 FGs 3 punts.

Falcons stats/info

Key offensive info

Ryan 3 TDs 1 Int 305 yards 25/40
Jones 11 catches 120 yards 1 TD
Coleman/Freeman 9 catches 70 yards 1 TD
Coleman/Freeman 25 rushes 90 yards
Sanu/Gabriel kept mostly ineffective.

The big Pats DTs and front 6/7 mostly shut down the run game keeping it largely ineffective which is key. It puts Atlanta in more 3rd downs than they are use to. Also they effectively take away the big play for the most part and surrender the underneath. The Pats game plan is the usual. Make the other team drive the field and convert multiple 3rd downs to score. They rarely blitz and Flowers put against the RG on some 3rd downs has success and gets a strip sack. Branch dominates the matchup on run downs and everyone stays in their gap. The DEs bump the RBs on their route. Though they do catch some balls the Pats need to give it up to a degree as long as no long catches are made. Atlanta can't help themselves and take a few inadvisable shots down field which stall downs. Some do work out and they get a few 20 or so yard gains but too often it is incomplete to Sanu/Gabriel down the field. One of which Harmon picks off. Though Ryan has a good stat line he actually plays worse than it says.

Key defensive info

Beasley held to only 2 pressures (gets 1 on the inside)
The DTs for the Falcons don't get the pass rush they are hoping for.
After those 2 things the back 7 is unable to do much to stop the Pats O as they just don't have the DB talent to fall back on like the Pats do.

Overall: 10 drives 3 TDs 2 FGs 2 turnovers 3 punts.

Hi Bob, Could you be a bit more specific please .

I don't think it will be a blow-out, but ... damn! It's time the Pats won a Super Bowl in a blow-out. They deserve it.

Last time we played Ryan he threw for over 400 yards, Julio Jones had a huge day. I think this is the game where we miss gronk.

Falcons: 31
Patriots: 21
