Wow.... is right! Either these teams/QB's have been dominating or the AFC has been lackluster in its ability to put forth a good franchise!

I think the AFC has been lackluster in picking franchise QB's if I look around at the teams in the AFC most have had a turnstile of journeymen QB's coming and going with the exception of a few teams...

Bengals but Andy Dalton can't seem to perform in big games

Ravens have been close with Flacco and is he one of other 2 in the 16

Texans just screwed the pooch giving Osweiler all of that money

Colts are good and I'm sure Luck will get there soon

Jaguars thought they had something in Bortles but he has regressed badly

Chiefs Alex Smith is a good regular season QB but dont think he has IT for a post season run

Dolphins tannehill will be a back up as soon as the Dolphins realize what the rest of the NFL already knows

Raiders same as Colts I think they hit the QB sweepstakes with Carr

Chargers poor Rivers has had a mediocre team, coaches and fans to deal with

Titans Mariota looks like he will be really good, still remains to be seen if you can put him in the same conversation with Carr and Luck

A reason I see a possible Falcons 31, Patriots 28 outcome is that unlike last year with Cam Newton, I see Matt Ryan being able to be a lot more composed in case of a strong Patriots' rush against the passer.

I think the Falcon "D" is pretty solid so I see them keeping the Pats honest. Both Teams will score though. Falcons "O" will be hard to stop.

NEP 24
ATL 35

Matt Ryan Wins NFL MVP, Offensive Player of the Year awards

Ryan, 31, received 25 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Tom Brady of the New England Patriots finished second with 10 votes, followed by Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott and the Oakland Raiders' Derek Carr, who each received six.

Ryan also won the Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year award Saturday, beating Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers 15½ votes to 11. He passed for 4,944 passing yards with 38 touchdowns and only seven interceptions and led the NFL with a 117.1 passer rating, helping the Falcons score a league-high 540 points.

I don't think so.

I don't care who wins either.

Simply want the Falcons to win because they haven't won before. :)

If the Pats weren't playing, I'd be rooting for Atlanta too. I don't know if NE will win, but I do believe that Belichick and the coaching staff will have the most well prepared team on the field. They will have a game plan that will give them a good chance to win if they execute it. The team is tough and disciplined. And there is that factor that people not from here can't quite understand. They are the best coached team in the NFL.

Glad Warner got in. That guy had an excellent career.

As far as JJ? He just made everybody a boatload of money. I guess that's HOF worthy.

I'm also glad that Kurt Warner got in. I'm surprised that Terrell Davis made it. He had a rather short career, with only 4 impressive seasons.

Rooting for Atlanta, just to see a little change up, should be a _solid_ game - whoever wins or loses, the volumes food and beverage around here is the real winner :D
