The following entry is in response to mass.com’s “Five reasons the New England Patriots will win.”
1. The Superdome.
So the only way “New Orleans” and “Super Bowl” will be used in the same sentence is if “host city” is involved? Ouch. That was wicked hardcore. But I think you’ve been eating too much clam chowder. You see, there’s this little thing called home-field advantage. At last check, this game is going down in the Superdome. In New Orleans.
Have any idea what happens when 70,000 Saints fans show up for a night game? Well, I’ll tell you. A night game means they’ve had all day to drink. Translation: Brady won’t know what hit his ears when those fans start going ballistic on the first third down for the Patriots. Loud. Angry. Noises.
And another thing. Momentum. If the Saints get any momentum early, forget about it. That place will be so loud, Brady will wish he was back home hanging out at Dunkin’ Donuts.
