I like the Falcons in this one. I think the matchup is in their favor. Blackmon is suspended so Sean Smith can follow Andre Johnson. Robert Quinn is going to be actually up Manning's ass all game. Maybe five sacks for Quinn. Manning will revert to what lost the Super Bowl for him in RL - throwing the ball too quick for anyone to get open so he could avoid getting hit. The Jaguars small zone corners are going to be abused by Gordon and Thomas with Luck throwing to them. I voted -3 because -3.5 wasn't an option.
 
Also there no way Jaguars fans travel well from Karachi so it should be a predominately Falcons crowd.

I'll write it up in more
Detail later but I like our chances stretching the field here. I don't know if quinn will have 5 sacks but I certainly think he'll put Manning down about that many times. I also really like Doug Baldwin to have a big day when the Jags cheat outside

Falcons -5.5

I can't even imagine what Bakahump is thinking. A. He's 11.5 points off of what the line should be and B. When is the last time there was an 8 point favorite in the SB?

Can we get the roster comparison in here? It is the superbowl after all.
Sure why not, I have a few minutes free during intermission.  I'll edit this post in a few mins,

I don't think Quinn will sack Manning 5 times, because I think the Jags are going to run the ball a lot against a weak Falcons linebacker corps. The Falcons' receivers make some plays against the average Jags' secondary, but I think Luck makes a couple mistakes and Manning game-manages his way to a narrow victory. I have this as Jags by 2.

It has to be the Falcons.
 
The falcons don't have much running game to speak of, but Luck and those WR behind a very good offensive line? You'd need a good defense to slow them down, and the Jaguars don't have one. The Jags defensive strength is on the interior line, but who really gives a shit without a running game?
 
The Jags offense have Manning and a helluva WR unit. Ridley could easily be Knowshon Moreno back there for this team. Still, the Jags tackles are putrid. Manning's quick release will keep the chains going, but he's going to end up on the dirt a lot.
 
If you told me the Falcons won this thing 34-24, I wouldn't be surprised. I won't give them the 10 point spread, but I'll give them a 6.5 point spread.

Sure didn't help him in the real Super Bowl!   ZING!
 
I'll be here until the Seahawks are out of the playoffs.  Remember to tip your waitress.

There's a Powerball drawing tonight.  Are we (MMS) using that for the result?
 
We sure are.  Polls will stay open until 2 EST.  With 22 votes in, throwing out the highest and lowest values, we've got an average line of Falcons -2. 
 
The winner of the inaugural RealFantasy SuperBowl will be determined by the first white ball drawn tonight. Jags win on balls 1-26, Falcons win on balls 27-59.
 
Edit: Falcons -2 is the final line.
