Facing the hated Patriots, the Falcons are now America’s Team

The Falcons aren’t a marquee team, and there’s a sense that most fans outside of New England are by now more than tired of the Brady and Bill Belichick act. Cleveland has some pieces to work with, but the most important is missing: quarterback. New England won Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 against Carolina for its second championship.

What do you think of Kim Zolciak and her husband sharing their joy and congratulations on social media after learning that the Atlanta Falcons made it to the Super Bowl?

“I had no idea that [Eric] Weems and [Jonathan] Babineaux were up to tricks behind me”, Quinn said on Monday. At CBS Sports, like SB Nation, 3 of the 8 experts think Pittsburgh will punch their ticket to Super Bowl 51. They can win this game. There has been one true classic (the Green Bay Packers’ dramatic win in the divisional round over the Dallas Cowboys) and one close but forgettable game (the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round). Ryan, who is expected to be named the NFL MVP on Super Bowl weekend over Brady, threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns and also ran for a score – he’s not usually the most mobile guy.

“We knew going against Aaron that it’s never over”.

Later Sunday, the 39-year-old Brady tied Hall of Famer Joe Montana’s record with a ninth three-TD post-season game, helping the Patriots beat Ben Roethlisberger 36-17 for the AFC championship.

With a spot in Super Bowl 51 on the line, Las Vegas is leaning towards New England, the home team, when it comes to the odds in this matchup. “He made big plays for us in the biggest game of the year”.

The New England Patriots steamrolled the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship on Sunday night to advance to yet another Super Bowl, their seventh in the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era.

During Sunday’s game in Foxborough, Massachusetts, spectators mocked Goodell by chanting “Where is Roger?” – he chose to attend the game in Atlanta instead.

“The players played great, played smart, took care of the ball and played great defence”. It’s nice when you can take advantage of some of those plays, nice to gain some chunks that way when you kind of get some misdirection or double-pass, flea-flicker, something like that. The Patriots were not far behind – their 386.2 yards per game were fourth-best in the league. The two conference title games also serve as rematches from the regular season. Same with a quarterback who has four Super Bowl rings and knows a little something about being methodical himself.

After the Steelers stopped the Patriots twice on third-down tries, New England converted seven in a row – all passes by Brady.

The OVER/UNDER on the game is 60 points and this looks like it could be one of those types of games.
