The Top 10 Super Bowl Scores - Blowouts and Closest Games (2017 Edition)
Tweet |
The New England Patriots are taking on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51.
Will it be a close game or will it be a blow out?
My two cents says that it all comes down to which defense, New England's or Atlanta's, can stop the other team's offense. New England quarterback Tom Brady and Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan have been known to put a lot of points on the board. (New England scored 37 against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game. Atlanta scored 44 against the Packers in the NFC Championship game.) Another factor that cannot be overlooked is the experience factor. This will be Matt Ryan's first Super Bowl appearance. Tom Brady, on the other hand, has played in 6 Super Bowls. He has won 4 and lost 2 and been the Super Bowl MVP 3 times. It just might be Tom Brady's experience that will make the New England Patriots Super Bowl 51 champions.
