Still wish Atlanta had won...I don't like cheaters named Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

After the first round of the NFL playoffs, 8 tippers had perfect picks; after the divisional round, it was down to two; and after the conference championships, it was just srini701. After the Super Bowl, srini701 remains on top with a perfect Super Bowl comp (including advance picks) and takes home the gold for his efforts! Congratulations!
dg_dave was the tipper who matched srini701 through those first two rounds, and except for missing the NFC Championship and the advance pick. toocool4u takes home the bronze after missing one pick in each of the first two rounds, but hit every advance pick. The only other players who had a chance to finish in the top 3 were George95, who would have won gold if Atlanta had won the game, and illiniman14, who would have finished second after being the only tipper to pick against their advance pick (since picking New England would have only guaranteed a fourth-place finish).
These playoffs have been filled with boring, one-sided games. Surely the Super Bowl wouldn’t fit into that category. The first quarter came and went without any scoring, making it seem like we might be in for a close game. Then Atlanta got going. A fumble recovery early in the second quarter stopped a New England drive, and 5 plays later, the Falcons went 71 yards for a touchdown to go up 7-0. The Patriots had a 3-and-out, and the Falcons responded with another 5-play, 62-yard touchdown drive. New England drove down the field to respond, but Atlanta picked off a Tom Brady pass and returned it all the way, giving them a 21-0 lead. The Patriots managed only a field goal before half, but it was 21-3.
On their second drive in the second half, Atlanta went 85 yards for another touchdown, and the game was basically over. The score was 28-3, and no team had ever come back down more than 10 points in the Super Bowl. So that was it. Turn off the TV, because it’s all over but the crying…
…but Tom Brady is on the other side. Down 28-3, New England responded with a touchdown drive, but missed the extra point so it was only 28-9. A bad 3-and-out for Atlanta gave the Patriots the ball back, and they managed a field goal to make it 28-12. Three plays later, Falcons QB Matt Ryan was sacked and fumbled, and New England took it the remaining 25 yards for a touchdown and hit the 2-point conversion to make it 28-20. Atlanta worked it down into field goal range, but then gave up a sack and a holding penalty pushed them back out of range. After punting, Tom Brady had 3:38 down 8 points to send the game to overtime. Which he would. With surgical precision, and aided by an absurd catch by Julian Edelman, the Patriots scored a touchdown with under a minute left and made another 2-point conversion to tie the game at 28. Bad clock management meant the Falcons had no shot to score before regulation ended.
The Patriots won the toss, and it was all over. Five consecutive Brady passes put New England at the Atlanta 25. A run and pass interference gave them the ball at the 2. Brady had a ball knocked down when they attempted to give him all the glory with a touchdown-winning pass, in an eerie callback to Seattle throwing an interception against New England in Super Bowl XLIX. But they weren’t about to risk it again, and the Patriots ran it in for the final score after going on a 31-0 run to win in the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.
