For the Patriots, playing in Super Bowl 51 is nothing out of the norm. With four Super Bowl wins under his belt, quarterback Tom Brady is ready to win an unprecedented fifth ring and cement himself as the greatest quarterback in NFL history.

On the other side of the field are the red-hot Falcons led by newly crowned league MVP, Matt Ryan.

Ryan will lead the Falcons offense against a defensive juggernaut in the Patriots, who have the league's No. 1 scoring defense. While the Falcons boast the league's top offense, this isn't the regular season anymore.

The Falcons are not used to this stage, as this will only be the franchise's second Super Bowl appearance, and they'll be looking for their first win.

In head coach Dan Quinn's second season at the helm of the Falcons, the former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator has taken Atlanta to new heights, improving to an 11-5 record after going 8-8 in his debut campaign a year ago.

The Patriots—no matter how good they've been lately—are not without their faults.

Losing tight end Rob Gronkowski during the regular season was a serious blow to an offense that was seemingly wiping the floor with its opposition. But the Patriots haven't missed a beat during the playoffs, scoring a combined 70 points in two games against the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Falcons offense has also been humming, as it has scoring a combined 80 points against the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers. 

With Bill Belichick guiding the Patriots, Quinn has never faced a stiffer task heading into a game. And neither has his franchise quarterback.

The Patriots opened as favorites once the matchup was confirmed a few weeks ago, and OddsShark has kept the spread close. As of Sunday morning, the Patriots are holding steady as three-point favorites heading into the matchup.

It remains to be seen if the Falcons offense can outgun the Patriots and put up points against their stout defensive front, but this is why games are played on the field and not on paper.
