When they are healthy and at home - they can be artists on defense.

I think Brian Billick has a great understanding of Moss - he was his O-coordinator in Minnesota that one season when they set the NFL scoring record. The Pats offense looks very similar to the '98 Vikings offense - only they throw the ball more with a qb upgrade from a decrepit Randall Cunningham to an outstandingly accurate Tom Brady - however, they don't have a Robert Smith to run the ball with.

Baltimore's passing game is obviously going to have to play their best game of the season to pull off the upset though.

I realize Baltimore has injuries but right now their offense is the worst in the NFL. They have ZERO chance of beating New England. Cincinnati is a terrible team and the Ravens just lost by double digits to them......this is a perfect example of what happens when a team gets old in a hurry.
