Super Bowl 51: Patriots -3 Over ATL

[GNG]

If he staus upright he probably will. He's going to need to score 38ish or more to win the game

I doubt it.

You never know. If Shanahan leaves and Ryan needs to learn a whole new system again anything is possible. If the same system stats in place I'd assume 11+ wins again. Probably 1 or 2 more

It will be an uphill battle when they lose at New England to start the season.

Shanahan and Lynch (?!) are receiving 6 year contracts from the Niners.

I'd be surprised if the game is at NE. With the opening of the new stadium the game will likely be at Atlanta. Will be fun. I plan on being there

You think he will need more? Certainly possible

With the Niners roster I'm not sure 6 years is long enough lol

It will be at New England because they'll want the Super Bowl rematch like they got this year. Vikings opened up on the road even though they got a new stadium.

With York the owner, the odds against both even lasting 3 years have to be astronomical.

It's an awful move by Shanahan but I suppose you have to strike while the iron is hot. That said he will be gone within 2 years imo

Oh I'm sure it'll be the Thursday game to open the season without a doubt. Just don't see the league doing the Pats any favors and giving them a home game especially with the new stadium. We will see

That's already determined. It's your turn to come to New England. All the road/home match ups are set.

Oh yeah? Didn't see that. Good to know

Yup, you have road games against the Pats and the Seahawks next year. Fun.

Well we had roadies at Denver, Seattle and Oakland this year. Part of the drill. I should've know the game was at NE since I went to the Pats Falcons game in 13 at the Dome. Lol

I know, it's complicated.

Bottom line...don't believe the stats 100%

The only stat I believe is my handicap. Keeps me competitive

 

[Hank Kingsley]

No it's not either way. The Falcons have thrived against teams with weak pass defenses but the Patriots are solid there.

I was commenting in general and not about Atlanta. I was referring to those who say NE's schedule was soft.

And I say, then you should probably be 14-2...... And looking good doing it.

New England's schedule was soft.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

New England's schedule was soft.

And they did what they should have with it. 14-2, lots of offense, got the kinks out of their defense, etc.

They do have a way of evening things out don't they.

I say the stats don't tell the whole story with the ATL because starting 4 rookies and 3 2nd yr guys they were a bad DEF in Sept and Oct and most of Nov. But they got better even if the stats didn't prove it...by Dec, they are a pretty decent DEF and that's kinda what I think they are now...decent. I actually thought they played really well vs GB.
