It’s the last Monday of January, it’s super bowl week and it’s also time for another edition of Monday poll which while sticking to sports will be a bit off the Wellesley sports track this week. Last week’s poll results first off saw Needham take home the title of biggest rival with 4 of the 7 votes. This week’s poll question is… who is going to win Super Bowl 51 Sunday the Pats or the Falcons? Comment with your answers!

As we leave January and enter February, the importance of each game, each point, each win continue to grow as we come down the home stretch of the 2016-17 winter sports regular season.
