New England Patriots are seen as the favourites for the Super Bowl LI by the American football betting tips.

The Super Bowl happens to be one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and it attracts an incredible audience figure which often runs into hundreds of millions. The United States Super Bowl LI 2017 is scheduled on fifth February, and it will be the 51st edition of the game.

New England Patriots, who won the American Football Conference (AFC) and Atlanta Falcons, who were crowned as the champions of the National Football Conference (NFC), will be taking on each other. The NRG stadium in Houston, Texas will be playing host to the event. This venue has already witnessed a Super Bowl game in its history, as it hosted the Super Bowl XXXVIII back in 2004.

Teams & Predictions

New England Patriots

A hugely successful team in terms of the Super Bowl, New England Patriots have eight appearances prior to this Super Bowl LI. They are one of the most successful teams – which makes them favourites according to American football betting – after having won the title four times in their history while also finishing as runners-up in the other four. The team comes on the back of a successful campaign in which they conceded the fewest points (250).

Quarterback Tom Brady missed the first four games of the season, but that did not prevent New England Patriots’ domination in the American Football Conference. American football betting tips would back the Patriots, as head coach Bill Belichick and Brady offer a wealth of experience to the team after having help them qualify for the Super Bowl in seven out of the last 16 seasons.

Atlanta Falcons

Head coach Dan Quinn has managed to make a huge impression in only his second season at the franchise. After failing to qualify for the play-offs in the last three seasons, the Falcons have been able to make a stunning turnaround. Atlanta Falcons will come in with a lot of confidence going forward as a result of finishing the season with the most number of points (540). The team does not have the big game experience, and there will be memories of the painful loss against Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl XXXIII. As a result, the franchise will be aiming for their first victory when they compete in the US Super Bowl 2017.

Comments

Falcons may have an excellent offensive record in the league, but the wealth of experience possessed by the Patriots may prove to be the key, according to American football odds.

1. Matt Ryan will and must play like the MVP

We can't say for sure that he will take the MVP away (although it can be a nice bet), but he's been the best quarterback in the NFL this season. The 9th-year professional completed the season with a passer rating of a stunning 117.1 and his per-game average is 309 passing yards.

2. The Falcons team must start fast

When you have an incredible offence in football, the desire to impose your strong will on the other team from beginning to end is really high. Falcons can squeeze the Patrios by jumping on them from the start. Teams that usually press do not like to be pressed.

3. Shanahan should do some magic in the red zone

The defensive philosophy of New England's team is mainly concentrated around limiting big plays + forcing the other team to settle for a few field goals in the unique red zone. In other words, Belichick's only desire is to force opponents to go the length of the entire field on a series of runs and passes until the defence can use that sideline and endline as extra defenders. Moreover, Patriots are great in the red zone.

Other Details

Falcons WE Julio Jones has been dealing with a toe issue (a chronic one) over the past two months. He missed two games in the regular season and a practice event in late January. He should recover until the Super Bowl. A few other key Patriots are battling pains and aches - TE Bennet (the knee) and WR Amendola (ankle).

History

The Patriots vs The Falcons all-time score is 7-6. However, since 2001, the Patriots have won all 4 matches and Tom Brady was the key player.
