Just to set the record straight the Falcons have a higher cheat score than the Pats so if you'll never root for the "cheater" then your shit outa luck but you could root for the lesser cheater and go with New England.
There is a website that has all the teams and their cheat score. The Pats have cheated less than most NFL teams.
• the PATRIOTS are TOUCH BELOW AVERAGE NFL cheaters!
• they have a CheatScore of 25
• the FALCONS are AVERAGE NFL cheaters!
• they have a CheatScore of 29
However perception trumps reality and people will continue with this misconception concerning the Pats for as long as they keep winning.
Here is the link to the site

I get that no amount of truth or reality will stop the haters, but it makes me feel better to always put the truth out there. I get so tired of people calling my team cheaters. They cheat less than most NFL teams. And yet they keep on winning, while the prolific cheaters keep on losing. Cheating doesn't seem to help losers win.
