NFL Pick'Em Game 2016!

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS vs. ATLANTA FALCONS

I pick the Falcons. (What a surprise? :lol:)

Score will be 35-24 Falcons.

RISE UP
 
Super Bowl

New England Patriots vs Atlanta Falcons

New England has looked very good, but Atlanta has the momentum. I'm going with the Falcons.

If you want to win the tiebreaker - you have to include what you think the total score will be.
 
I'm picking Atlanta since I can't stand New England!!

Atlanta 34 New England 31

Total points 65

Gawd I hope Atlanta wins !!!
 
Put me down for Atlanta too
 
Winner: Atlanta Falcons

Final Score: 38 - 34

Points: 72
 
Winner: New England Patriots

Finals score: 54-24

Total points: 78

MVP: the GOAT
 
Atlanta will expose the Cheatriots. They will drop a 40 burger on them.

43-27
 
Atlanta wins. The Brady Bunch will be relegated to watching old re-runs.
 
I think the score will be Atlanta 31, NE 27. Sorry to make two posts to include everything. Let's see. Got to do some cipherin. 105 total points. No, wait. 108. No, ah, 58? Wild guess. Took a sip of milk while I was carrying the numbers, and either added or dropped a few, or sumthin. I'll go with 58. I had to clean up a little milk spill, which took away from the total. Then again, I did finish the milk, which added to the total. Sooooo, 58 total points.

Now, back to my real work. I'm a climate scientist.

Good afternoon, humbolt. :2wave:

:thumbs: It's rather rare that a person finds his life's work tying in so closely with his method of problem solving. You are to be congratulated, Sir, you have done so and it only took one post! :lamo
 
I'm calling it:

Atlanta 30
New England 27

I think it will be close, but the Falcons will pull through.
 
My NFL 2016 pick for ..
.. SUPER BOWL LI:

Sunday February 5, 2017
Cleveland Browns vs. Dallas Cowboys - er - (sorry, wishful thinking) Go Cowboys!

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS vs. ATLANTA FALCONS .. 55 total points

This game’s impossible to pick. I have no idea what Belichick’s defensive brain trust will do to attempt to stop Atlanta. If they succeed, an easy win for NE; if they fail, it could even be a repeat of ATL v GB. NE is a bit more injured than ATL .. but NE’s been here before .. and won. As a Cowboys fan, I want the NFC rep. to win .. so go Atlanta!

Your D hasn't played anybody. Especially with the caliber of offense that we have.

That's what they said 2 weeks ago. " Patriots will never shut down big Ben, Brown and Bell".

Seriously though enjoy the day, soak in the festivities but don't worry about the result because you will be disappointed.

And Bell got hurt, and the Steelers had no running game. Plus, the Steelers don't have nearly as good of an offense as we do. We're firing on all cylinders, and the Pats have faced 6 backup QB's this year. They're just not battle tested.

And I will. I'll really enjoy the parade in downtown Atlanta, too. :mrgreen:

Bell got shut down in the first quarter before his injury, they actually ran more when Williams came in.

Just the idea that Bill B's team isn't battle tested in laughable. But I guess we will see ;)

I mean, if you do shut down our run game, which would surprise me. We'll just throw it to Jones, and Sanu, and Gabriel, and Coleman, Freeman, Hooper, etc. There is no weakness in our offense. and I would be surprised if we don't get 2-3 sacks on Brady.

I mean I would be very surprised, you have the 6th worst pass rush unit in the NFL.

But, the rules stated that this tiebreaker goes to the person who put their picks in first. And since Your Star did by 10 hours and 45 minutes...

Your Star WINS the PLAYOFF CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Big thanks to PoS for running this thread yet again and doing a great job. And to everyone for making it a lot of fun.

Voting against Tom Brady is silly.

All he does is win win win.
