New England Patriots vs Atlanta Falcons: 5 Predictions for Super Bowl LI

5) Patriots win their fifth championship.

Shockingly, the Patriots site is making a prediction that the Patriots will win the Super Bowl. But this is not coming from any sort of bias, it is from two weeks of looking at both teams and working out who can handle the occasion best. As is the case with any Super Bowl involving the Brady and Belichick Patriots, this will be a close game with a fair few lead changes but like the last one in Arizona, the Patriots will make one more play when it matters most.

Atlanta will score first off their opening possession as the Patriots feel their opponents out. Tom Brady will respond with a drive to score in the first quarter for the first time (in seven attempts). The teams will continue to trade scores throughout the game before Brady produces a critical fourth quarter drive to take the lead on a touchdown pass. Atlanta will be stopped and the Patriots will need one first down to run out the clock, they get it and finish as Super Bowl Champions for the fifth time by a score of 31-27.
