Super Bowl Ll is drawing near. The Patriots and Falcons play to claim the title of the best team in the league, but who will win and why. I will tell you the positives and negatives of each team in Super Bowl Ll.
New England Patriots Advantage
The New England Patriots have the best scoring defense in the league*. The Patriots have 4 interceptions while their opponent only has 2 interceptions*. The Patriots have a total of 4 sacks this season*. The Patriots are the 2nd best scoring team in the league only trailing the Falcons*. Dion Lewis recently had a kick return for a touchdown against the Texans. The Patriots have the best defense in the league and the 2nd best scoring offense*.
Atlanta Falcons Advantage
The Atlanta Falcons Offense seems unstoppable. They are the best scoring offense in the league*. Their offensive line is rated number 1 on blocking and the have the best wide receiver in the NFL right now*, Julio Jones. Matt Ryan is going into the Super Bowl with 4944 yards which is 2nd overall in the league only trailing Drew Brees*. Julio Jones has 1409 yards which is also 2nd best in the league*. In the Falcons last game they destroyed the Packers 44-21, with Julio breaking the record for most receiving yards in a NFC championship game*.
Both teams have their strengths but here are some of there weaknesses,
Atlanta Falcons Disadvantages
The Falcons offense has not yet successfully made a 4th down play*. The Falcons only have 3 interception in their entire season*. They only have 2 sacks in the postseason* and their rushing could be a lot better. Even though the Falcons have their disadvantages they could still beat the Patriots.
New England Patriots Disadvantages
The New England Patriots are without their number one tight end Rob Gronkowski. He injured himself on a fly route during the Patriots and Jets game in week 10. Without him there offense is a lot worse. Even is his absence the Patriots have dominated throughout the playoffs.
Who Will Win
Even though the Falcons have a pretty good offense I think the Patriots will win because of their defense and their wide receivers. The Falcons have selected their uniforms, and they want to wear red so the Patriots will have to wear white*. In the last 12 Super Bowls the team wearing white has won the Super Bowl*. My prediction on the games score is 24-17 Patriots.
