59 is the O/U.  3 is the Vegas spread...fave Pats. 

X is the Pats........(X - 3) is the Falcons

X + (X-3) = 59

2X - 3 = 59

2X = 62

X = 31 Pats

(31 - 3) = 28  Falcons

so, 31/28,  Pats MAY win.....(?) 

Easy way to figure it in your head is to take the total over/under and cut it in half and assign that to each team.  Then take the spread and cut it in half.  Add half the line to the favored and subtract the other half from the underdog.

But keep in mind the line does not mean that Vegas thinks NE will necessarily win by 3, they set the line trying to get the same amount of money on both sides so they clean up on the juice.  If there was a lot of money being bet on ATL, the line would drop in an attempt to get more money on NE.

That being said, I will be rooting for ALT, but think that NE will find a way to cheat out another victory.

Historic comeback carries Patriots to Super Bowl victory

Jeff Saturday credits the heart and resiliency of every Patriots player to battle adversity and complete the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. (1:25)

HOUSTON -- In the most exciting fourth-quarter rally in Super Bowl history, the New England Patriots showed their remarkable resolve to do something no team has ever done before in coming back from a 28-3 deficit.

They were down 19 in the fourth quarter.

In rising up in such fashion to win 34-28 in overtime, quarterback Tom Brady wrote the most dramatic chapter in his future Hall of Fame career, earning MVP honors to set up a highly anticipated Monday morning date with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

This was a script that not even Hollywood could have come up with for believability, especially when considering the greatest Super Bowl comeback had previously been 10 points.

Danny Amendola scored one of the Patriots' two fourth-quarter touchdowns that helped New England overcome a 25-point deficit. Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

Linebacker Dont'a Hightower's strip sack in the fourth quarter changed the momentum of the game and receiver Julian Edelman's 23-yard "how-did-he-do-that?" catch was the reverse David Tyree.

In the end, Brady took center stage as he won his record fifth Super Bowl in a game he dedicated to his mother, Galynn, who has been battling an undisclosed illness.

"We all brought each other back," Brady said on the Fox telecast after the game. "We never felt out of it. It was a tough battle. They have a great team. I give them a lot of credit. We just made a few more plays than them."

You could point to two mottos that stuck with the Patriots this season. Through the playoffs it was "One More" and throughout the season was the common refrain of "Do Your Job."

No season had a feel of the Patriots' motto of "Do Your Job" more than this season in which the team managed to prevail after obstacles from Brady's suspension to losing star tight end Rob Gronkowski to injury. What has stood out along the way is the stronger-than-the-norm emotion from Brady ("Let's gooooooo!!!!" he would often scream before games), with Brady embracing the Super Bowl moment as much as ever before.

Now that they've achieved their goals and won Super Bowl LI, here's the bottom line: This one means more.

It's vindication.

As owner Robert Kraft said in the days leading up to Super Bowl LI, Deflategate penalties levied by the NFL against Brady and the team had a deeply rooted impact on the 2016 Patriots. Brady was hit with a four-game suspension for the January 2015 incident that months of court battles couldn't overturn. Meanwhile, the Patriots were fined $1 million and docked a first-round pick in 2016 and a fourth-round pick in 2017.

"I think in a way," Kraft had said last week, "that galvanized our whole team."

All the way to a record fifth Super Bowl championship, with no more talk of underinflated footballs.

The 2016 season began with questions on how big of a hole the Patriots would have to dig out of playing without the suspended Brady. While oddsmakers still gave the Patriots 6-1 odds to earn a Super Bowl berth this season, that doesn't guarantee wins.

The Patriots may have begun the season without Brady, but they did have Belichick. He created a game plan that in conjunction with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels allowed backup quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett, a rookie, to do enough to help the Patriots win their first three games.

There the Patriots stood 3-0, without Brady and they didn't have Gronkowski in two of those games because of a hamstring injury.

By the time Brady returned on Oct. 9 in Cleveland, it felt like a home game, many fans taking advantage of Columbus Day weekend to make the trip to be there for that moment when Brady first took the field.

It had a Super Bowl-like feel to it, and what manifested itself the rest of the season was a region showering Brady with its appreciation and love on a daily basis. While Brady had his offensive line protecting him on the field, New England fans, as passionate as ever, were protective of his legacy.

Random chants of "Brady! Brady! Brady!" broke out at games. His homecoming trip to San Francisco in late November provided a springboard for more reflection on his career.

By the midway point, the Patriots were 7-1, the Buffalo Bills accounting for their only loss in Week 4 (Brissett's final start). When Brady returned, he was protected by a healthy offensive line under the tutelage of veteran offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia, who returned from a pseudo retirement to lead the group.

The line not only helped Brady but created options for running backs LeGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis as the team's average of 117 rushing yards per game ranked seventh in the regular season after finishing 30th last season.

The Patriots needed other elements of their attack to be reliable especially once Gronkowski was lost for the season due to a back injury he suffered against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 13.

The addition of veteran tight end Martellus Bennett via trade from the Chicago Bears last March meant the Patriots had another option when Gronkowski was placed on injured reserve. Bennett was the team's third-leading receiver with 55 catches, 701 yards and seven touchdowns.

Meanwhile, the defense had to come together after the offseason trade of defensive end Chandler Jones, and then a surprising in-season trade of linebacker Jamie Collins. Hightower, a team captain, cited the Nov. 20 win at San Francisco as a time when the group started to come together.

The unit ultimately finished the season ranked first in the NFL for fewest points allowed per game (15.6 average), although some critics still asked, "Have they truly played any top quarterbacks/offenses?"

It all ended up coming together for the Patriots and Brady steered the direction. Once the Patriots arrived in Houston, the emotion of the season seemed to bubble over for Brady. During media night, his first night in Houston, Brady was nearly brought to tears in his meeting with reporters at the Super Bowl when a 7-year-old had asked him which person was his hero.

It was his dad, but Brady couldn't explain why. His eyes welled up, his voice cracked. That type of raw, poignant emotion has never been seen before from Brady in that setting and it was quickly learned why that was the case.

His mother, Gaylnn, has been dealing with an undisclosed illness and it's put a strain on the tight-knit Brady family. So if there was a picture that captured the essence of Brady's emotions leading into Super Bowl LI, it was this.

The emotions peaked even higher as the confetti fell at NRG Stadium Sunday night.

Brady took the stage and raised the Lombardi Trophy and yelled, "Let's go!, Let's go!"

"It’s going to be a great celebration tonight," Brady said from the stage. "Thank you to all of our fans. Everyone back in Boston, New England, we love you. You’ve been with us all year. We’re bringing this sucker home!”

And we hear Lady GooGoo decides to sing Woody Guthrie's kommie rant song "This Land Is Your Land"....

his answer to "God Bless America" - a song he hated . His son Arlo Guthrie confirmed his father's involvement

in the communist movement sweeping our Country at the time and how he was a confirmed communist til the very end .

Woody wrote for a kommunist newspaper, formed kommie unions and criss-crossed the country extoling the

kommie mantra from coast-to-coast. Pretty ironic for a guy whose music was such a capitalistic success...<_<

We get that the dust bowl had US in a pretty bad place at the time --- but KOMMUNISM IS NEVER THE ANSWER.
