Super Bowl Prediction

I predict that I will get drunk playing the Julio Jones drinking game. 

I predict that my give a shit level will be pretty much zero 

Bill Maher went off on this topic last night. The Pats are so hated that even non-football folks can join in. Look for it...

The Pats are going to roll so better to just go along and enjoy the greatness. Resistance is futile.

It's hard to go against Atlanta's star power and how well they're playing on both sides of the ball, but it's even harder to go against Belechick, Brady and the big-game ability that team always has.

As with Bill Walsh (and any of the greatest coaches) when given an extra week to prepare Belechick's teams are DAMN hard to beat.

Atlanta's got what it takes to win and I won't be surprised if they do, but if I had to bet real money I'd have to go with proven true greatness.

Who's favored BTW?

>>>>Who's favored BTW?

New England by three points.

ATLANTA and Getting Smashed ME.

Cheatriots favored by 3.

Tom Brady will thanks Jesus and Trump for the win. Or blame Obama if he loses..

Falcons

3 hockey games on Sunday. And Go Falcons!  

Falcons <<<<

Thanks Slacks

It must just kill the Boston area fans that the Patriots are as reviled in football as the Yankees are in baseball

isn't it ironic?

dontcha think?

GO FALCONS!!!

Matty Ices year

It must just kill the Boston area fans that the Patriots are as reviled in football as the Yankees are in baseball<<<<

Why would one care what people in other loser'ish sports cities think about your own (amazing) team? 

you're related to the Kraft family? wow.

oh wait... you probably just live vicariously through millionaire atheletes who will play for a team that pays them the most money.

Fuck Tom Brady 

Fuck Bill Bellicheck 

Fuck Robert Kraft 

Fuck Roger Goodall 

Fuck the entire NFL 

Fuck America too....should've just said that to sum up my sentiments. 

Going to be ugly

42 - 24

Pats

Pats win haters better DEAL because Falcon's defense rank against the pass is 27 of 32. Not good!

Brady, Lewis, Hogan three stars

4 of the last 5 times best defense played best offense the better D won

Patriots 33 Falcons 27

^^^^^Fuck America too....should've just said that to sum up my sentiments.

Settle down JR or Trumps going to cut funding to drug band message boards everywhere. 

Pats are cooked.

No way they win this.

Their run is over. AFC is so weak it's a cakewalk to the SB for the Pats. 

It will be fun watching all the cheaters' fans giving excuses for why their washed up team lost yet another SB!

Enjoy!

The commercials will suck, the game will be waayyyy to long, there will be 10 too many reviews of plays.....lady gaga will be surprisingly good...(ok, that one may not come true)....

And falcons win...38-34......ahhh, fck...what am i thinking?....pats win going away...falcons will score...but pats control game ...i just wish my first score is one that would come true...i just wanna see a good game

Budweiser is getting some shit for its ad, which features the story of the young Mr. Busch as a newly arrived immigrant and some of the hostility he faced.

>>>AFC is so weak it's a cakewalk to the SB for the Pats. 

I have to disagree with that. The Pats are actually 3-3 over the past six years in the AFC Championship; they lost to the Broncos twice, and to Baltimore once.

That said, it's pretty impressive that they've appeared in six consecutive conference championship games.

I don't have a horse in the game tomorrow. Both teams are pretty impressive, and I'm hoping for a competitive game with everything still on the line in the 4th. 

I predict I'll never have another seat like this for a grand. Or play air guitar to Tom Petty at halftime.

like others have said here, I'm just hoping for a competitive game going into the 4th quarter

the smart money is on the Patsies, but I just can't bring myself to root for them

I see one of two outcomes as likely:

1) NE jumps out to a big lead in the first half and ends up routing the Falcons

2) Atlanta plays adequate D, capitalizes on turnovers, and simply outscores the Pats in a high-scoring affair that goes right down to the wire

I predict Lady Gaga will have some choice anti-trump commentary and get in trouble for it. 

oh wait... you probably just live vicariously through millionaire atheletes who will play for a team that pays them the most money.<<<<

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Hmmmm.

Not sure about the vicariously part Trebor, but isn't that what being a sports fan is all about, at least for the few hours the game is being played? 

Anyway, other than Matt Ryan playing a perfect game and Julio going for 11 catches/165 yards and 2 TD's, I'm having a hard time imagining the Falcons winning this game. Then again, my track record in SB predictions is pretty poor.

Here's the Maher take-down of Brady, Bill and Co. Not his best work, but still pretty good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-MV-puMdYE

they hate us cuz they aint us

Lady Gaga will kill 

I predict millions of Americans will come together on this day and have a great time together watching America's football championship.

Lots of laughs, friendship, trash talking and ribbing, and exchanging of currency. A GREAT day in America.

I predict skiiers in Utah who don't watch the game will love the great powder without the crowds.  

P.S. - Some dude bet a million dollars on the Falcons? Wow.

The Giants teams that were able to beat the pats had better defenses than Atlanta has, Shootouts probably favor the pats. Rams greatesst show on turf, the Carolina game was a shootout as I recall. McNabb did have 350 yds and 3 TD's, but also threw 3 picks. No love for the pats, bit if I had to bet my last sawbuck I'd bet the pats. 

The Gaga show...

Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl 51 halftime show Sunday will light up the sky with a coordinated swarm of several hundred aerial drones — forming a shapes as they hover above Houston’s NRG Stadium.

The 12-minute halftime show, sponsored by Pepsi, will feature Lady Gaga performing under a canopy of shimmering drones, CNN reported Saturday, citing sources familiar with the production. It’s the first time drones will be used in a live TV event, and the first time the robotic aircraft will appear in the Super Bowl.

Neither Gaga nor the event’s organizers have revealed the set list for the halftime show. According to Twitter, the top four songs that fans tweeting about Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl perf are hoping she sings are “Telephone,” “Bad Romance,” “Poker Face” and “Born this Way.”

Along with the drone light display, Lady Gaga also may make her halftime entrance by descending from the roof of the stadium. Gaga apparently confirmed rumors about the stunt on a radio show last week, revealing that it was her sister’s idea to fly her above the pitch, per the New York Times.

Brady really should be 5-1...shoulda beat giants twice, and if the damn seahawks had just given the ball to lynch...lol...still the worst play  call in sports history

I predict I'll be asleep by the end of the first quarter.

Falcons win in a close one or it's a Pats blowout. 

Hope it's a Good Game  Coming Down  to the last 10 Mins in the 4th Quarter ( Falcons ! )

At Least my Guacamole Will Be Good as I Have Some Killer Perfectly Ripe Avocados !

He would have 6 wins if he beat the Giants twice, Jamb. He is going for immortality in this one, 5 rings would separate him from the rest. Fucking Trump supporters.

If Pats jump out early could be hard to overcome.

If it stays close Falcons by one score, FG or TD. 

>>>shoulda beat giants twice

Many of the ads are here.  http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/superbowl?ocid=msnhomepage 

As previously stated, this is a big day 4 placing bets.  

On all kinds of things.

A quick study of the odds:

What color will Lady Gaga's hair be during the halftime show? 

Blonde/Yellow (-465)
Brown (+650)
Green (+2230)
Pink (+1520)
White (+800)
Blue (+2335)
Purple (+1795)
Orange (+2860)
Multicolor (+765)

When consulted, an unnamed football experts wife  offered her unbiased & unbashed opinion:  "She's in her current stripped-down Americana phase. She's going full blonde — cut off jean shorts, crop-top, cowboy hat."

As for the game itself; if I where a gambling man I would pic the Pats at -3.

HOLY Guacamole These Avocados Are AWESOME ! SO FREAKING GOOD w/ T Chips !!

HOWIE LONG AND STRAHAN MAKE  ME ILL ( PREGAME )

Damn good game so far.

It's a heavy-weight fight for the championship of the world.

It's not supposed to be easy.

GO GREATNESS!!!!!

I predict that Lady Gaga will be more hated by the righties than Beyoncé

and a 5 second delay isn't going to make a difference

I knew I should have bet on Lady Gaga having blond hair. 

I know. Should haves & could haves. 

Oh well

NICE catch!!!

And GREAT CALL refs!!!

I bag on the refs, but they got that one right!

Play balll!!!

I'm a Joe Montana fan until I die, but Brady was the greatest of all time before this game.

This game is just another example of why.

Won a cool $1,400~

Holy shit, just got finished watching that game.

Freeman (24) was somehow looking at the middle of the field and didn't turn his head to the rusher on that huge Ryan fumble until the last second and by the time he did turn his head, made the worst attempt at a block I think I've ever seen.  That was the big play that enabled that insane comeback.  And then the offensive lineman for Atlanta Mathews being called for a hold on Long on that 2rd down where they didn't need any yards for what would have been an unsurmountable lead assuming he makes that FG.  That holding penalty was everything right there.

Those two plays and the fantastic play calling for New England with the first 2 point conversion and then the second.  Perfection on the football field on those two 2 point successes. 

Just an insane SB. 

Holy shit. 

The Falcons are the Democrats of the NFL...

^^^ I mentioned after the end that there was a weird similar feel to Election Night, like "Did that just really happen?" 

Helluva game. Pats earned it, much as I hate to say it. Atlanta's defense looked really tired. Too bad the offense didn't hold the ball longer and give 'em a rest.

The way to beat a great QB is to keep him off the field. Great game, great fun with friends. 

>>>I mentioned after the end that there was a weird similar feel to Election Night, like "Did that just really happen?" 

Similar?

One of the worst nights in American presidential history similar to some team you don't like coming back to win a SB?

Can't agree on that one. 

That's OK, Felina . Don't need ya to agree, bud.And WALSTIB's comment about Demo's prompted mentioning it.

It was just a lighthearted comment to my friends (who agreed by the way) about the feeling of total shock and surprise. Lighten up, bro.  

I know election night was WAY more important, and I'm sure we're both working to prevent as much damage as possible.

Don't believe the score, any results not showing showing Atlanta as the winner is just FAKE.

Gaga as succubus for the halftime Ritual was interesting.

FUUUUUUUCK

Tweezer opener for the Atl falcons caught me off guard

A straight up miracle. I knew the Pats were going to put up some points toward the end of the game but all the Falcons need was a crummy field goal over the final quarter and half and the game was over. 

Everything that needed to go right, pretty much did.

Shocking.

>>>I know election night was WAY more important,

Your post sure didn't reflect that but I'll take your word for it. 

And I'm light, trust me...don't need to up it any more.
