Score!

Who will score the first touchdown in the game? The obvious choices for the New England Patriots are Julian Edelman and LeGarrette Blount.  Julio Jones or Devonta Freeman are the obvious choices for the Atlanta Falcons. To win this one big though, you’ll have to take a chance. I did to years ago, and won big when Brandon LaFell hauled in the first score. Taylor Gabriel 16:1, Malcolm Mitchell 20:1, James White 20:1, Danny Amendola 22:1, Austin Hooper 22:1, Matt Ryan 28:1, and Justin Hardy 33:1 may be worth the risk.

Super Bowl MVP

Brady and Ryan are runaway favorites for the game MVP. It’s possible though for a dark horse (we’re looking at you Malcolm Smith) to steal it away. Julio Jones or LeGarrette Blount could take it. If you see a defender making a huge impact, take that risk. Logan Ryan, Malcolm Butler, Devin McCourty, or Don’t’a Hightower could change the game like Smith did 3 years ago.
