Falcons take on Patriots

The biggest game of the entire NFL season is going to be in Houston, Texas, Feb. 5. The Atlanta Falcons are set to face off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Many spectators from around the country will travel to Houston as this is one of the most watched events in the entire calendar year. Even if a fan’s favorite team did not make it to the Super Bowl, it is the last bit of football that they will be seeing for awhile.

With the highly favored New England Patriots going up against the underdog Atlanta Falcons, it should be a fantastic game. Several students shared their opinion on who they will be rooting for and what they will be looking forward to the most.
