Here's Why Wall Street Will Root for the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI
History shows the stock market does better when an NFC team, such as the Falcons, wins the Super Bowl.
Sure, the Patriots have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and favorable Las Vegas odds to win Super Bowl LI. But there's only one team that anyone on Wall Street should be rooting for this weekend, and that's the Atlanta Falcons. In fact, a win by the New England Patriots could hurt your portfolio. That's what the Super Bowl indicator tells us -- an indicator that predicts how the stock market fares each year after the big game.
According to the indicator, a win by a team in the National Football Conference, in this case the Falcons, means the stock market will be up for the year.
