Unlike most of the playoffs this season, don’t expect a blowout in this game. Super Bowl LI will be a game that will come down to the wire. Although it isn’t a smart move to bet against the experience and success of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, the Falcons offense in the end will be a little too much for the Patriots to keep up with and the Atlanta Falcons will shock the world with a 31-27 victory.
Other staff predictions:
Trevor Grout- Editor in Chief: Patriots
Ryan Adams– MLB Lead: Falcons
Matt Litzenberger– MMA Lead: Falcons
Liz Churchville- MLB writer: Patriots
Steve Cambell- NFL writer: Falcons
The staff here at The Scrum Sports is pretty much on board with the rest of the country in that the overall consensus is the Atlanta Falcons will be handed the Lombardi trophy at the end of Super Bowl LI.

This was a tough choice. Obviously after picking the Falcons to win Super Bowl LI, I had to pick a Falcons player to win MVP. A part of me was screaming to pick an underdog pick for MVP in Taylor Gabriel, but ultimately settled on picking Matt Ryan to finish off his career year with the top honors in the top game.
Other staff predictions:
Trevor Grout: Tom Brady
Ryan Adams: Julio Jones
Matt Lizenberger: Devonta Freeman
Liz Churchville: Tom Brady
Steve Cambell: Julio Jones
All that’s left now is to gather up your friends and family and fire up the grill!
