Super Bowl LI thread: Now they're coming for you, Rog

It appeared Julio Jones unlocked one of those stars from Super Mario Brothers to shed would-be Goomba Packer defensive backs on that long touchdown catch.

So, yes, given how crappy most NFL games were this year, I really wish I could've watched the Falcons more this year.

 

Gives new meaning to "laces out" as well.

 

I think this will be a highly entertaining, high-scoring Super Bowl. I'm envisioning something like 37-30 Falcons.

 

Sitting here with a ticket that wins $100 if Pats win SB (they were 1:1 before the conf championships). Wondering whether to ride it or take Atlanta +3 and get the 20-1 odds of hitting both.

If the spread widens to +5 or beyond, it's a no-brainer.

 

It won't move that far, but it would be fun to try to hit that 20-1 shot.

 

If the quarterbacks are pressured as little as they were in the conference championship games, both teams might go over 40.

 

I think both teams will score at least 30, and if one doesn't it will be New England.

 

ATL scored 30+ in 13 of 18 games this season, while NE scored 30+ in 10 of 18, so that would make sense.

 

Defense doesn't even get to championships anymore.

 

Apart from the last 3 years.

 

Just a joke, Francis.
