I think I got those numbers and seeding correct. There is no Super Bowl hangover and the Falcons run their high-octane offense back to the Super Bowl. The defense remains steady as Matt Ryan once again lights up the league with Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman handling the running game.
Tom Brady and company may have lost Julian Edelman but the team is still well-equipped in a subpar divion to run through the AFC back to the Super Bowl. How can you count out the Patriots? You can’t. They’re taking the championship once again.
