Tonight Super Bowl 51 takes place in Houston, TX between the Atlanta Falcons & the New England Patriots. Tom Brady comes into this game trying to win his fifth Super Bowl ring, while Matt Ryan is trying to win his first Super Bowl ring. This is the second time the Atlanta Falcons has made it to the Super Bowl in team history. The New England Patriots, however, are no stranger to the Super Bowl this is their 9th Super Bowl appearance in nine seasons.
The keys for the Falcons to win this game on the defense side is to get some pressure on Tom Brady. The Falcons don't need just Vic Beasley to get some pressure on Brady; they need Dwight Freeney, Ra'Shede Hageman, and the rest of the defensive line to produce also tonight. Another key for the Falcons to win is for their rookies on defense continue to overachieve tonight. Also, the Falcons secondary needs to keep their eyes on Chris Hogan. Normally defenses pay so much attention to Julius Edelman and Danny Amendola that they forget about Chris Hogan and he goes off for a big game as he did against the Pittsburgh Steelers a few weeks ago having where he had nine receptions, 180 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. Also, the Falcons defense needs to force a plethora of three and outs as well as some turnovers to keep the Patriots offense out of sync all game.
The keys for the Falcons to win this game on the offensive side is to score a touchdown on their first drive to send a statement to Tom Brady and the Patriots that they aren't just happy to be here, but here to win it. Matt Ryan must continue to show the poise he has shown all season and continue to spread the ball around to all his weapons on offense such as Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, Tevin Coleman, and Devonta Freeman. The Falcons must also run the ball efficiently to keep the Patriots secondary and linebackers guessing so they won't just sit back in coverage all day making Matt Ryan job harder than it has to be.
The keys for the Patriots to win this game on the defensive side is don't try to double team Julio; this is not the Pittsburgh Steelers the Falcons have too many offensive threats. If you double Julio Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, Tevin Coleman, Devonta Freeman, or Austin Hooper will just have a big game. The Patriots defense must get pressure on Matt Ryan and force some turnovers to keep the high-powered Falcons offense out of sync.
The keys for the Patriots to win this game on the offensive side is to have nice long drives that end with points. The longer the drive, the less the Patriots defense has to see Matt Ryan and the high -powered Atlanta Falcons offense. They must have an efficient run game to slow down the Falcons superb pass rush.
In the end, I predict the Atlanta Falcons will win their first Super Bowl in team history against the New England Patriots 28-21.
