It's the Super Bowl, there is plenty of motivation to go around.
Oh, and before you say how the Patriots defense is good, it's mediocre at best. Sure, it looks good when the last 10 teams you've played are in the bottom half of offense. Now you'll probably say something about the Steelers, but Big Ben is awful on the road (seriously, look it up). Bell got hurt. The Steelers didn't even score a touchdown last week in their win (that was assisted anyway). That's why I was all over the Patriots on Sunday and predicted a blowout (well I termed it ass raping but same difference)
I find it really hard to find a legit reason to take the Patriots. Everything about the Falcons is just better, and they're getting points (though I'll be on the ML). The public will be all over NE because they don't take 5 seconds to look up stats to see their defense is a fraud. They'll be talking about the Patriots for 2 weeks straight.
It's a perfect storm. Falcons spread, Falcons ML, Falcons/Pats over. Take them all individually, win big. Parlay the over and ML to win even bigger.
Time to get paid!
