Playing at Gillette is a big plus to the the Pats, same field, same vision and sight sightlines.
Yes the Pats D is a slouch almost all the time. That Texas defense you mentioned is one of the best in the NFL this season. The Patriots have had one of the easiest roads to the Superbowl, still not beating an over .500 team all season. The Patriots Offense is the real deal and in a very watered down NFL season, they have to be the favorites going into Sunday, but the Ravens do stand a chance with how good they can run the ball against an awful Pats D and a defense that can make big plays.
