The New England Patriots will be facing the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. Here are five predictions for the big game.

After two weeks of build up and talk about politics, music, traffic and parties, there is a football game to be played. You would think with that much time to build up the game, fans would know about every on the field storyline but for some reason that has been ignored, and for that you can blame Atlanta.

As mentioned earlier this week, the Falcons were essentially the least appealing NFC Champion in terms of intrigue and off field hype. Thankfully on the field, they are an exciting prospect with an offense capable of scoring in multiple different ways.

The Patriots meanwhile are back where their fans expect them to be and somehow, they are able to draw the attention of a media that should be sick of them by now… actually a few of them absolutely are.  Here are five predictions for Super Bowl Sunday, or Monday depending on where in the world you are watching.
