Now that the NFL's conference championships have been decided, we know that the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons are the two teams with a shot at winning Super Bowl LI.

This is an intriguing title matchup for a couple of reasons. For one, we have the league's best offense against the league's best scoring defense. The Falcons averaged an NFL-best 33.8 points per game during the regular season, while the Patriots allowed an NFL-low 15.6 points per contest.

We'll also get a quarterback matchup between Tom Brady, the grizzled veteran, and Matt Ryan, who is playing in his first Super Bowl.
