New England Patriots Defense is Solid

The New England Patriots may not have been the top scoring team in the league this season, but certainly been a team that has been able to score. The Patriots lost their tight end Rob Gronkowski early in the season, but have been able to pick up the slack since. The Patriots have won 9 straight games dating back to their loss to Seattle.

LeGarrette Blount led all National Football League running backs in touchdowns this season with 18. The Patriots quarterback Tom Brady missed the first four games, and still finished with 28 touchdown passes. New England scored 27 points per game, but led all of the NFL allowing 15.6 per game.

Atlanta Falcons Boast Top Scoring Offense

The Atlanta Falcons were the top scoring team in all of the National Football League. The two postseason games for Atlanta this season have combined for a total of 56 and 65 points. During the regular season, Atlanta scored 33 points per game, while allowing 25.4 points per game.

The Falcons have Matt Ryan, who is likely going to win the Most Valuable Player award. The quarterback threw for 4,944 yards and 38 touchdowns during the regular season. His top target, Julio Jones led the way in the win over the Packers with two touchdown receptions. The Falcons also finished in the Top 5 in rushing yards as well.

Betting the Total in Super Bowl 51

In a battle of two clashing styles of football, this is going to be an excellent football game. Super Bowl 51 in Houston will not lack for entertainment. The Atlanta Falcons want to score points and score more points. If Atlanta can get this game in the 30’s, they have a great chance to win,

The New England Patriots want to score points as well, but would settle for a lower scoring game, and a game in which they control the clock. The Patriots can do that with a smart quarterback, and a pretty solid ground game. When you are betting the total in this game, it’s likely best to take the UNDER 58  as we are betting New England Patriots 27-21 over the Atlanta Falcons for Super Bowl 51.
