It's that time of the year when everyone gets together and huddles up for one last time. Of course, I'm talking about the Super Bowl. This is Super Bowl 51 in Houston, Texas. Where everyone is raised to love and enjoy football. This is a perfect stage for the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons to square off at. These teams have faced each other only 13 times. As of today, the Patriots take the lead 7 to 6, over the Falcons. The last time these two teams played each other was in 2013 and the Patriot beat the Falcons 30 to 23. Before that game, the Patriots beat the Falcons 10 to 26 in 2009. As of now, the Patriots have a big advantage over the Falcons.
Lets not go quickly into thinking the Patriots will for sure win, we should check out the current stat from this season. As of now, The Falcons have an average of 33.8 points a game, with 7 receivers that have at least 3 touchdowns. The Patriots score around 27.6 points a game and when Dion Lewis plays, the Patriots have a winning record of 16 to 0. We of course know that both teams can score, but what about their defenses. If we look back at the regular season, the Patriots led the way with the best defense in the nation. The Falcons have been ranked 27th in the nation for scoring defense. We did see the Falcons defense shut down the Packers in the Playoffs but were the Packers playing 110 percent? We saw the Patriots defense slow down the Steelers in the Playoffs too but can to corners keep up with the fast wide receivers from the Falcons? Plus, the patriots have several defensive players questionable for game day and this could cost them. I’ll give you my prediction below but both teams have a huge battle on their hands and it will be entertaining. Let me know what you think and i’ll give you my input.
