Well, the game watched by more people, celebrated by more people, and freaks out the media more than anything(except maybe Donal Trump) is finally upon us. That would be the Super Bowl. You know, one thing the USA does as well as anyone is put on a sporting spectacular special! All the hype, all the glitter, the glamour, the glory, from the Star Spangled Banner to Lady Gaga and her hundreds of drones, to the 4th Quarter and the 2minute warning, I think this will be a special Super Bowl!
You see, this is basically a game that goes full circle: Tom Brady represents the New England Patriots and the Boston area in general, while Atlanta QuarterBack Matt Ryan starred at Boston College. And that's where the mystique lies:
In this article, the writer talks about Ryan's 'Doug Flutie moment', which came against Virginia Tech in 2007. Anyone compared to Flutie in any way has to be a very special football player!
I, having witnessed Miami Vs.Boston College, way back in 1984, still consider it the greatest game in football history! This game was close and high action all the way, as Flutie battled Bernie Kosar, until that dramatic ending. And Ryan did the same against Virginia Tech when he basically 'willed' his team to win!
So you sum it all up, and break it all down, and I really like the Falcons to win their first Super Bowl! Granted, it will be hard to bring Belichick and Brady down, but I believe Ryan and company are capable of doing it. They have looked good in all three phases: offense, defense, and especially special teams. NE are no slouch either, which is why this will be a good one:
Atlanta Falcons 36
New England Pariots 33
