The AFC's New England Patriots and the NFC's Atlanta Falcons are set to meet this Sunday in Super Bowl LI with the Patriots still listed as three-point favorites at VietBet. The total for this game is currently sitting at 58.5 points for the planned 6:35 p.m. start on FOX from NRG Stadium in Houston.

The betting line on New England has not moved since it was first released, but it is fairly easy to see why it is favored to win its fifth Super Bowl title in franchise history. This team has been on a mission since Day 1 even with its starting quarterback sitting out the first four games of the regular season due to a highly controversial league suspension. The net result has been a straight-up 16-2 (15-3 against the spread) run that includes fairly easy victories against Houston and Pittsburgh in the playoffs.

Tom Brady did not miss a beat once back under center and he guided this offense to the fourth-most yards in the league and the third-most points. What really made New England such a formidable opponent this season was a defense that led the NFL in points allowed (15.6). This unit has not allowed more than 17 points in eight of its last nine games.

The betting line has held at three points since the opening odds were posted at sportsbooks worldwide, and the current NFL football betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet still have the Patriots as a three point favorites.

New England Patriots (-3) -110
Atlanta Falcons          (+3) -110

Over 58.5 points (-110)
Under 58.5 points (-110)

Atlanta has put together a pretty impressive resume of its own during a 13-5 SU (12-6) run to Super Bowl LI. It has now won its last six games SU while going 5-1 ATS. The OVER bet on this team at VietBet has cashed in 16 times in 18 games. In two playoff victories against Seattle and Green Bay, the Falcons outscored two of the top teams in the league by a combined 39 points.

One of the main reasons why the Falcons returned to the postseason following a three-year hiatus was the elevated play of their veteran quarterback Matt Ryan. He was second in the league in both passing yards (4,944) and passing touchdowns (38) in the regular season and for good measure he added 750 more yards and seven more scores to that total in the playoffs. Atlanta has not scored fewer than 33 points in its last six games.

Everyone is looking for shootout in this game given the starting quarterback for each team and I do not think that Brady or Ryan will disappoint come Sunday night in Houston. The lean in the game is towards New England, but the "best bet" pick is the OVER on VietBet's 58.5-point total line.
