A lot of these young professionals succumb to the temptations that surround the Super Bowl festivities including the abundance of loose (women); Often the "itch" sets-in. These guys can be ingenious when it come to finding ways to avert bed-checks (yes, some coaches insist) which allows them to partake in the "hunt" during the wee hours of the night We might suggest they are too-professional to fall prey to the scent of a woman...........Don't bet on [it}.
Since 2000, six teams with the NFL’s highest-scoring offense have reached the Super Bowl. Only one of those six teams won the title: the 2009 New Orleans Saints.
The 1989 49ers are the lone top scoring offense to beat the top scoring defense in the Super Bowl (Broncos).
New England, for all of its apparent defensive flaws, boasted the NFL’s top-ranked scoring defense in 2016, allowing just 15.6 points per game. Super Bowl LI will mark just sixth meeting between the league’s top offense and top defense, and according to ESPN, the top defense has won four of the last five, with the 1989 San Francisco 49ers as the lone exception.
The Patriots, of course, should know: They averaged a ridiculous 36.8 points per game during their undefeated 2007 campaign but were upset in Super Bowl XLII by a New York Giants team that held them to just 14 points. And in all four of its championship seasons, New England’s defense has ranked eighth in the NFL or better in points allowed.

That's a no brainer lol. I want to know who is a team the Patriots beat that had any relevancy to it? I looked at their schedule to the top and not 1 team was worthy or was in contention. Pitt? Maybe...that score between them said otherwise though. It's a confidence booster without a doubt. Hey look! We made it to the SB! We been kicking ass and taking names! We fought kindergarteners to get there but we made. Now we have to play someone who is our equal but fought harder opponents. Hmmmmmm
Yea...in the beginning. They almost beat Sea in the Clink. Lost by 2, beat em at home where it counted, beat the packers twice. Their loses weren't really blowouts in comparison to the Pats stomping mudholes in weak opponents though.
The line on the game is skewed. Atlanta should be the favorite. The fact that they're dogs is worth noting
NE was dead last in strength of schedule, 32nd.
9th? Lol. You have a bad source.
The pro's at Pregame and a couple other sources. What would be your source that incorrectly has them at 9th lol. Take a look at their schedule and tell me it looks like a 9th ranked schedule. They played a whopping 5 games against teams over.500
That's funny.
I'm good friends with a couple of the pros there and I trust their opinions and ranking sources. I'm really not trying to argue with anyone about the game. Sorry if it appears that way. I just trust my sources and info regarding the game and feel quite confident with my Atlanta pick. Good luck to all
Based on 2015 records they did have the 9th toughest SOS.
9. New England Patriots (0.523)
Those teams finished the season at (0.460)
Tied for third worst as per one site.
