The matchup for Super Bowl LI on February 5 in Houston, Texas, is shaping up to have something for everyone and to feature one of the highest-powered offensive showdowns of any championship in recent memory.

On one hand, we have the established power in the AFC, the New England Patriots, who will appear in their ninth Super Bowl in franchise history.

Then we have the NFC's rising power, the Atlanta Falcons, who play in only their second Super Bowl ever with the opportunity for their first win.

With the largely underwhelming play of the NFL playoffs behind us, we can finally look forward to the air show this matchup promises.
