I’ve been thinking Patriots the last two weeks. It’s very hard to go against Brady and Belichick. With two weeks to stop the Falcons, Belichick is one guy who can. Brady is unstoppable, as are his receivers and running backs. The Patriots have the leading scoring defense in the NFL.
With that said, I’m going with Julio and Matt to get it done on Sunday in Houston, and give Atlanta their first Super Bowl championship in 51 years of the franchise’s existence. Matt and Julio go off. Brady, Chris Hogan, Julian Eddleman and the stud Patriot cast do too. But Atlanta has a stud cast of their own on offense. So I’ll take the Falcons in an upset. It’ll be an electric offensive game. Gaga at halftime. Should be interesting as well.
Falcons 38, Patriots 35
Julio Jones is the difference maker

I like it. I will be pulling for you to keep your perfect record for the playoffs.
Thanks my man. Wanted to go against the grain a little bit. Everybody’s picking the Pats, but this Falcons team can go off. I’m just super impressed with how they’ve played this postseason. Julio is unstoppable. Thanks Walter!
"Me and Julio hanging out by the school yard" Falcons 28-27
Classic Bama. Love the Paul Simon reset.
Everyone talking about Matt ice v tb12 but the matchup to watch is belichick v Quinn. My money says Bill finds ways to keep high flying birds offense seated as much as possible resulting in lower scoring game than most would reckon. Falcs r fun but hard to go against fingers full of rings. I’m w belichick and under.

You are 6 for 6 in your playoff prediction and I agree with you on your pick. The Falcons offense has been unstoppable, and they have an underrated defense. The Falcon linebackers have good speed and are able to get good depth in their coverage formations. This should negate the crossing routes that Brady likes to use. I see the Falcons winning this game by at least 7 points.
Interesting stuff, G. I agree, the Falcons defense is underrated. Thanks my man.
