What to Watch 

The Patriots head into Sunday's matchup favored by three points, per OddsShark. 

That's likely because, although New England and Atlanta both feature offenses capable of putting up 30 or more points, the Patriots defense might be more successful at keeping the Falcons out of the end zone. 

New England finished the regular season with the No. 1 scoring defense in the league, allowing an average of only 15.6 points per game. 

That's a far cry from Atlanta's league-leading 33.8 points per game. 

Still, stats mean little when it comes to the bright lights and high-pressure environment that only the Super Bowl can provide. And it's important to remember that Tom Brady and the Patriots have been here before. Six times, to be exact. 

The kind of confidence that veterans such as Brady, Julian Edelman, Devin McCourty, Malcolm Butler and other Patriots stars bring to the table is significant.

On the other hand, this is the first appearance for most of the Falcons players, including Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman and Mohamed Sanu. 

Do those first-time jitters give the Falcons an edge that the veteran Patriots can't match? Or does New England's ability to be prepared for all the emotions and circumstances that go hand in hand with competing on the NFL's biggest stage help?

We won't know until the dust settles on Sunday night, but it's clear whom the experts favor. Sports Illustrated's 12 experts went 8-4 in favor of the Patriots, while Fox Sports scribes went 3-2 for New England.  

CBS NFL experts, however, apparently think the 'dogs have it: They went 5-3 in favor of the Falcons. 

By the end of the day Sunday, either a dynasty will be cemented or an underachieving franchise will finally bring home its first Lombardi Trophy. Make sure to tune in on Fox or stream on FoxSports.com or its mobile app so you can see it happen live.
