Lol, drone gate.  Why does it always seem that things like this happen in games involving the Pats.

Not surprising. Earlier this week, Kyle Shanahan lost his backpack with the game plan in it. A reporter had picked it up, thinking it belonged to him.  The bag was missing for about 15 min. These things seem to happen only when the Pats are involved.

over-under is 58........////30-27 is under..I'd go under ....low confidence there...

 

Atlanta gets 3 points most everywhere....so Id take the Falcons...top scoring team in the NFL

3 covers overtime most likely and Atlanta will keep throwing no matter how far they are behind or ahead

 

Tough to go against the league's top scoring team in what will feel like a home game for them

Umm more Pats fans in Houston than Falcon fans. If anything Pats will feel like the home team.

[AZColt11 2,204]

Go Falcons!

 

With that said, the SMART money will be on NE.  You just don't get to a 7th Superbowl and then not know what you're doing.  They will be ready.  Atlanta will have to play EXTREMELY well to beat them.  I hope they do, but I don't see it.  NE just has too much experience in this department, and giving Belichick 2 weeks to prepare for you is like handing the firing squad the bullets for your own execution.

 

Pats 34, Falcons 24

It is a little weird, isn't it?  That and the drone thing.  Just odd that you don't hear about these kinds of things with any other team.

Cheating sure gets you places in life. That's what I have taken from the patriots era in football. 

 

Get a grip. They are what the Colts should aspire to be. Leave your personal feelings of inferiority out of this. The Patriots with Belichick and Brady have gone to 7(!) Super Bowls, and you don't accomplish that through cheating.

[ACanOfWOW 1]

just got back from the alternate dimension! man, those Indianapolis Colts with Peyton Manning just keep winning consecutive championships since 2007! lol *crying*

 

in all seriousness though, how great it is to be a patriot fan. almost as great as the privilege of watching the Colts play on sundays. i'm proud of the team and wouldn't switch allegiances for the world.

Correct. 7 SB appearances is dominance and that is not attributed to cheating. They are what they are and that is the most successful NFL franchise in the 21st century

[oldunclemark 10,314]

Michael Floyd inactive for NE.......shouldn't have been allowed to play the last month at all

 Not really.

Atlanta plays indoors most of their games.....conditions favor them.....and their offense

I think he is saying from a crowd perspective. 

[NorthernBlue 3,153]

I'm rooting for ATL, but I just don't see them winning. Like, at all.

 

That offense is amazing...that defense, not quite as good . They are literally dead last in red zone defense and they got some sucky corners. Brady will tear them apart.

 

Hope they prove me wrong, (cause I'm ready to order some crow), but this one will be over before the 4th quarter.

 

35-17 Pats. God I hate New England.

[adubb84 373]

Hoping for good game (deep down I'm hoping for the falcons to CRUSH the pats). Either way I need to soak it all up! Last day of football 

[Chrisaaron1023 1,989]

Hopefully Falcons score 1st.. and just play "keep away"

[Chrisaaron1023 1,989]

I was gonna say.. I'm gonna have to watch this game on mute.. but Joe Buck's voice is just so cool lol

[coltsfansince65 1,430]

GO FALCONS!!!!

His voice is ok, it's just the words that come out that I don't want to hear mostly.......

Dan Quinn is from Morristown, NJ. How far is that from where you are? 

 

Hope the Falcons win. I like their owner, head coach, and players.

Singing the National Anthem is hard enough with music,  singing acapella is very hard.  Good job, Luke

.

[Chrisaaron1023 1,989]

[Gramz 10,181]

Let's Go FALCONS.   Make this a good night for all of us.

But he's wrong.

That's not what I meant when I said that Atlanta has an advantage earlier..

Indoors favors Atlanta..outdoors would favor NE

Morristown is about 40-45 minutes north of me.

[shakedownstreet 7,744]

[oldunclemark 10,314]

   Big start for ATL..so much for Brady being 'fired up'

[oldunclemark 10,314]

Lets start the show..can NE hold up...defensively

[shakedownstreet 7,744]
