marty -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (1/29/2017 8:39:53 PM)

This feels like last year, where for a week I thought Carolina would win, so many ways to score, just like Atlanta. The 2nd week, I was starting to think Denver would win, but then stuck with thinking Carolina would win a squeeker.
This year, I've almost completely changed to thinking NE will win. It might have been CBS radio, where a commentator was saying NE has one of the better defenses, and that the Falcons would be the worst ranked defense to ever win the SB. Is that true ? I'm not even sure.
But I could see NE making the halftime adjustments, and Matty throwing a pick that loses the game. They just looked so strong against GB. A high pass to Julio, how would NE stop that ?
So far, there is slightly more betting on NE, which surprised me a bit. So the officiating might favor the Falcons a little bit. I don't think NE has really had the officials on their side in a SB since before Spygate. The refs have either been nuetral, and I really lean towards that, or more like the SBs with them have been well officiated. If there has been any bias, you might say a slight bias towards their opposition their last 3 SBs, but I lean more towards those games being well officiated, then NEs' opposition getting much help.
