    I think the Pats are going to get rolled. Hope I am wrong.

      I'm a Ravens fan so I should not be rooting for the Patriots, but I kind of hope they do win. Brady winning another Super Bowl would be a huge slap in the face to Goodell.

        Another reason to root for the Pats. I am not a fan of any NFL team but I really admire Brady and Belichick.

          Well the Broncos can't win it every year. Cowboys and Raiders lost so life is good. I say go Falcons.

                You have to root, to a degree, for the Patriots just so you can see Goodell hand the trophy over to Brady and Bellichick. Goodell has been dodging the Patriots games throughout the playoffs so he wouldn't have to face them. He can't now. It will pure, good theater to be able to see the post game ceremonies if the Pats win. But saying that it would be good for the NFL to have someone different win one of these. The Falcons have never won a Super Bowl and I think have been in only one. Its good for the league to have variety and the Falcons would be that.

                  This could be Tamme's last opportunity for a Super Bowl ring. I'd like to see him get one.

                    I have watched very little NFL, this season. I root for the Packers, because of Cobb. Tamme is out for the season, after an injury. Won't get to see him play in the super bowl. I will root for the Falcons, because they have never won a championship. I am okay with either team winning and wouldn't bet on them to save my life, except for a blind pool, where you get your name in a square for points at the end of each quarter. I may end up doing chores around the house, instead of watching the game.

                    I did not agree with the punishment of Brady over the footballs. It should have been on the organization, not the player..... I believe he was singled out to give the maximum penalty to the organization, by keeping him out of games. That being said, I don't care who wins or loses. People can complain about Goodell, but he is an extension of the owners and they are the ones who hired him. I was very disgusted with the NFL player who dragged the national anthem and the flag of our country into his own personal agenda and was very disgusted about the media giving him a pulpit from which to speak.

                      Did he not get one in Denver?

                        Im somewhat indifferent, but I'll probably root for Atlanta because Matt Ryan has been plugging away playing fairly consistent and this year they finally have a tight defense to go with the offense.
                        Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

                          I despise almost everything about the NFL, so I'm pretty indifferent about who wins. That said, seeing Tom Brady win another super bowl is old. That said, at least's not a northeast media circlejerk Super Bowl with the Giants and Patriots.

                            I can't stand Tom Brady or the Patriots and apparently their Reign of Terror will never end.

                            I expect them to win because the football gods hate me.

                              Nope, he was on the 2013 team that played in the Super Bowl and got hammered by the Seahawks.
