Super Bowl LI will be held on Sunday, February 5th at Houston, Texas. All the teams in the NFL but up a great fight, but only two can make it to the Super Bowl and claim the Lombardi Trophy. Those two teams are the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. It is the Falcons second time back to the super bowl after losing to the Denver Broncos at Super Bowl XXXIII. They have a pretty good chance at winning with Julio Jones as their star wide receiver and Devonta Freeman as their running back. They mopped the floor with the Green Bay Packers, winning the NFC championship 44-21. If their quarterback, Matt Ryan, can do the same thing that he did against the Packers defense, then the Falcons should have no problem putting up points on the board against the Patriots. They also played a great defensive game against the Packers. They put intense pressure on Aaron Rodgers, making him move out of the slot. If they can do that to Tom Brady, the Falcons would have a pretty good shot at winning the Super Bowl.
The best thing about the patriots is their offense. Their star player is Tom Brady. Since the Patriots have lost Rob Gronkowski, Brady needs to find other receivers to look for on the field. The people who Brady will look for more often will be Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola. As I said before, the Falcons have put decent pressure on the Packers, but they will have a lot of trouble trying to penetrate the Patriots offensive line. A lot of people thought that the Patriots would destroy the Steelers in the AFC championship. But they only won 36-17 which is still a good win. Their defense is also pretty good with Malcolm Butler to cover Julio Jones. If Bill Belichick does this, they might have a chance of winning. Overall, the two teams are equal in offense and defense. The Patriots have a better quarterback, the Falcons have a better wide receiver and a slightly better running back, but their defenses are equal.
