No question that New England's defense is much better than Green Bays, but Atlanta's offense is sensational. The STeelers zone defense was horrible today.

The Falcon's defense is very young, not that big, but they're quick, and much improved. It should be interesting.

I don't think there's any question which team has more talent. The Falcons have considerably more talent and athletic ability. But, the Patriots routinely beat teams that have more speed and star players and have been ever since Belichick became their coach. Besides their amazing won loss record during that time span, one of the most amazing stats is that they are 14 and 6 when Tom Brady didn't play, and they won 8 games in a row with a second string QB (two different second string QBs, two different seasons) during the Belichick-Brady era. Concrete proof that the Patriots don't have to have the best players on the field to win.

Maybe the Pats can poison the steeler food and pull the fire alarms again? Lol

Pats beat the second best team in the playoffs today for breakfast. the Falcons will be their lunch in a big way.

Pats laying the 3 should get it done

Steelers were the second best team in the playoffs ?

I have the Pats +260 to beat the Falcons in the Super Bowl and look forward to betting what I assume will be Atlanta +135 or so to lock in a profit.

If the line is 59, I might gamble on the under.

Dallas beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh in November and the Cowboys lost a couple less games than the Steelers.

Also, NE doesn't get called for squat up there. Getting away from home is going to bring flags for defensive holding/interference and other calls the Pats are immune to at home.

of course they were. The Falcons are a good squad, but they played a cupcake game vs. The Packers. The Pack had no player's outside of their quarterback and the Falcons rolled right over them. top to bottom The Steelers had a very respectable team and played right with The Pats for the whole first half until they ultimately caved in.

no one wants to bet on horses that just beat up an easy field by 10 lengths that have to step up. usually those horses get slaughtered. the same thing is going to happen to The Falcons when they meet up with The Pats.

if you don't like money just bet on The Falcons and you will certainly have less of it to worry about.

for those that have a very short memory, i preached right on this board for people to get on a plane to London with suitcases filled with cash to bet on Donald Trump. at the end, Trump was a 7-1 underdog. i can tell not to many payed proper attention.

I made my first Super Bowl bet today, used 5dimes, which had a better over/under line compared to bookmaker. A 7 point teaser, Falcons +10, under 66.

Who would be so foolish to offer that?

Once again we have Big O vs Big D...and we know how that almost always turns out.

Pats will win

It was a teaser, you get 7 points and both sides have to hit. So in other words, for me to win my bet, the Falcons have to lose by less than 10 points and the final score has to be less than 66 points. If I lose, I pay a 20% vig instead of 10%.

what happens to this bet in the event that the Falcons win by exactly 10?

How can we forgot about your love for Crazy Horse? You posted it about 300 times in the last year or so.

Let's just say I'm rooting against you again in the Super Bowl. Only this time I've got the dog.
