Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire GREAT Super-Bowl Coming Up - Your Pick

Ne.

He's lost 2 Superbowls, both to Eli and the Giants during his career. I'd take 4 and 2 in the big show over not making it at all I guess. With 7 trips now, win or lose, that's a major accomplishment that has never occurred until now.

Sell this weekend at the peak.

I wouldn't want to be an Atlanta player or member of the coaching staff next week. Coach has been busy. Those Falcons will be breaking out in boils, itching with crabs, suffering from ptomaine poisoning, parking tickets, excessive hair loss, low T, IRS audits, there will be no end.

VarmintGay: Without a doubt you are the 2nd biggest hypocript on the fire.

I will be more than happy to dig up your dirt! It's not far away!!

At least your little okok cock twin knew when to check out.

Best play of the game will be the last one, and the freak show will be over for another year, and we can stop hearing about it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no dog in the fight.

I'm waiting for good commercials

I hope some of my squares hit

It will come down to two factors:

1) Can the Falcons consistently get to Brady until he gets too nervous to stand in the pocket?

2) Can the Patriots slow down the Freeman/Coleman train after selling out to stop Julio?


Whichever team gets out in front and hot first on offense will win the game. I'm not convinced that the Patriots defenders can shut down Julio, Freeman, and Coleman. In that sense, Coleman will be the determining factor. The Pats will sell out to stop Julio, and will catch Freeman often enough, but if the Falcons put Coleman out there all at the same time, then Coleman will win the game for them.

Otherwise, the Pats/Brady will win as usual.

My pick: Meteor(ite) strike.

I'm picking Falcons by about 10. So far I'm batting 1.000 in playoff predictions. A lot has been said about their 27th ranked defense. They are starting 8 players in either their 1st or 2nd year on defense and are ranked 27th overall. But they played poorly in September and October to get that ranking. The Superbowl is played in February. Atlanta's defense was the 6th BEST defense in December and January. New England isn't playing the same defense that was on the field 6 months ago.

Atlanta's offense was good on day one and has only gotten better. Their December and January performance is off the charts. They had the #1 offense while playing the toughest defensive schedule in the league.

New England has a slightly better defense, but Atlanta is used to shredding good defenses, been doing it all year. I think they will score 30. While Atlanta's defense isn't quite as good as New England I think they are good enough to hold the Brady bunch under 30.

And I'm not a New England hater. They aren't my favorite team, but I can respect greatness when I see it. If I'm wrong and Brady gets his 5th ring then good for him.

Considering their body of work, it is hard to bet against New England. The combination of Belichick and Brady is 4W-2L in Super Bowls since 2001.

I'd like to see New England win and then snub NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell by sending the equipment manager out to accept the Lombardi Trophy for the team.

I pick buffalo wings for the win

I'm for the Celtic or the Bulls.

It is unfortunate that I will miss the game as I believe it will be one of the great ones regardless who wins.

EdM: Tape it!
I won't leak to you who wins.
I also think these two teams are evenly matched in their excellence.
I tend to root for the under-dogs in games where I do not have a favorite team playing. But I am not sure there IS an under-dog here.
That reminds me I have to go to town today and buy some Super-Bowl squares for the upcoming game.

260Remguy: Now thats funny sending the "equipment manager" out to accept the Lombardi Trophy!
If you recall it was the equipment manager who "allegedly" had a hand in "deflate-gate".

JMR40: Appreciate your incites and good for you on the prognostications so far in the play-offs!
You are right about Brady being congratulated if he wins his fifth ring!
At times I think he is Robo-Brady!
His touchdowns to interceptions during the playoffs so far have just been amazing.
You're right - good for him should he (they!) win.

Yes, I recall the details of the Deflate-Gate deal and that the equipment managers who handled the game balls, John Jastremski and Jim McNally, were fired by the Patriots in order to appease Roger Goodell, that's why I wrote what I wrote.
