I'm not counting anything out at this point, however whilst stats like those are neat little factoids, they don't really have much influence on games.
Home field advantage is a good thing sure, but it's by no means a sure thing (look at the wild card round, all the away teams won).
Also, Brady's record against the Broncos stretches back almost 15 years. The team changes multiple times during that stretch (as does the Patriots).
The last time Brady faced the Broncos he was without most of his receiving core, and lost Gronk near the end of the game, and the game still went to overtime. Osweiller was playing better than Manning at that point too.
Denver didn't look very good in the Steelers game. They came incredibly close to losing it, and likely would have if the Steelers hadn't fumbled.
It's going to be close, but I don't think it's a sure thing either way.
