SUPER BOWL 51: EXPERT CONSENSUS PICKS FOR THE TITLE GAME
You may not have heard, but there’s a rather important football game this weekend.
In fact, some have gone so far as to call it “Super.”
On Sunday, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons will lock horns in Houston for the 51st iteration of the biggest spectacle in sports. For the upstart Falcons, it’s an opportunity to lift the Lombardi Trophy for the first time as the champions of the National Football League.
For the Patriots, it’s the opportunity to make even more NFL history by appearing in a record ninth Super Bowl. A win would give quarterback Tom Brady his fifth victory in the game—a feat that’s never been accomplished.

Oh, yeah, and New England head coach Bill Belichick coaching in his record seventh Super Bowl.
