Yowza. That's pretty tempting. It's very difficult to pick against New England straight-up -- as much as the majority of America would love to see the Pats lose.
Obviously, there's two very good offenses playing in this game. To me, the difference is defense.
New England was #8 in the NFL in total defense. And #3 in rushing defense.
Atlanta was #25 in total defense. #28 in pass defense.
I know the stats. New England hasn't faced many great offenses this year though. I think the Falcons win this game.
