Good luck Mob
I'll be brief now because I will get into other angles later in the week. Basically if it loses I would have one main nfl playoff theory still kicking. Which is my main theory which didn't come into play this year. The rest of my theories would be disproven. Every playoffs is different but there are years that compare. This superbowl feels like it has a combination of like 5 playoffs and superbowls in one. I really do expect this game to be epic. Somebody said it in a different thread, all of the patriots superbowls are close, that's for sure true. But partially my theory and reasons are when teams dominate the regular season they don't bring home the bread in the superbowl. I've said that in the past and I still firmly believe it especially for a team that is a story franchise, but honestly any team. When the patriots started winning their superbowls they were dominating and on the rise. Not many saw it coming. So two years ago they beat the mighty Seahawks in the superbowl as they were no where near relevant ats even with a better offense.
But this particular team just does nothing that lures you in and that actually scares me. They don't have two fantasy tight ends or a 6"4 goat receiver. They do everything right but they don't attract you with big play makers. Just everyone does their job like bellichek says. and I have no side theories like record jinxes and such like that that qualify against either team. I have nothing that says they can't win. But I have a lot of history supporting they wont cover. Not saying they will win or lose, because that's how close I expect this superbowl to be. They win all their superbowls on the last play. That's why 3 pts are a gift imo. Dan Quinn prepared his team in the superbowl 2 years ago. Imo THAT is critical. Everyone says oh belichek gets a bye week to game plan on you. He/they are game planning for a brand new team and most difficult offense next to the greatest show on turf, while Dan Quinn has a head start from two years ago minus gronk. Obviously a different defense, but ATL is disciplined on defense. They aren't blowing coverage and their speed should make chris hogan a non factor. I think the falcons do enough to cover. But I could honestly see New England winning 26-24, 27-26 or something. Both of these defenses are good in the red zone, no one is talking about that. I see both defenses coming up in that part of the field and forcing field goals for both offenses.
I am just going to shit out angles all week leading up
Also I think it is a huge mental advantage to know pre playoffs no matter what for Atlanta they were going to be playing in a dome all the way through including the superbowl. They had that shot in 2012-13 but there was no way they were gonna win that nfc champ game. They never had to even think about taking their fast track offense outside on grass and in the cold elements this year. That has to be comforting knowing that imo.

Brady is a playmaker, but he'll need playmakers to throw to. Like what mob stated, Atlanta has the speed that will keep up with hogan who is their deep threat. Other than that Edelman is pedestrian although he is still good. Brady will be doing dump offs to his backs most of the time. I believe Beasley will get to Brady mark it. I'll prolly have a prop on sacks. gl
Brady doesn't really need playmakers to throw to at all. The OC's play calling gets them open, Brady is accurate, and they just gotta catch it.
Speed to keep up with Hogan? Patriots hung 33 in 3 quarters last week, and the only deep ball was a flea flicker. They don't rely on a deep threat at all
You said you guarantee they won't get to the Super Bowl and cover. In fact you said you wouldn't ever post here again if they do. Just was wondering why you believed that, but I guess all you are saying now is it will be a last second win for them to win by one or two? That's even more improbable than them not covering IMO
I stand by it too.
Lol are you questioning my confidence?
What do you want me to predict a blowout? Not sure what you are getting at here. It's my prediction. Just because I'm confident doesnt mean Atlanta wins by 20 lol
I never said new england wouldn't win. So what does that tell you? I said they most likely wont win. But as I break the game down and the rest of the playoffs. It's possible to me whether it seems improbable or not.
