Nobody ever said Ben was a bad dude, but after all the troubles he had last year in his battle with alcohol addiction, he maybe poor choice of dating a much-younger Playboy model and his overall headline-grabbing negative PR, we're here to say, the guy's not half bad!

Affleck attended church yesterday with ex-wife Jennifer Garner and his kids Seraphina, Violet, and Samuel and the group looked super happy and healthy and Ben like the perfect doting dad. After service he hit the local Starbucks for an iced coffee and newspaper before heading home to watch the Saints vs. the Rams and then his beloved Patriots take on the Kansas City Chiefs and WIN!

Perhaps all that prayer led his team to victory ... so who'll he root for when his current hometown team takes on his childhood hometown team at the Super Bowl? We're pretty sure he'll be cheering for the Patriots!
