In breaking down the big game, Pritchard thinks Atlanta can upset the reigning champs. Denver is a 7-point favorite. But if they make mistakes as a first-time team in the Super Bowl, Denver can explode on them with their offense. In the first quarter, if Atlanta is still around, they have an excellent chance of winning. Most of the talk about the Broncos' talent centers on quarterback John Elway and running back Terrell Davis.
People think because of the couple games they lost, their defense is weaker.
But I don't see that. They have a very aggressive defense. They fly around. When it comes to Atlanta, however, Pritchard knows only what he saw on television this year. But he did play with a handful of current Falcons, including linebacker Jessie Tuggle and tackle Bob Whitfield.
