5 Matchups to Watch in Super Bowl LI

As the clock draws closer to kickoff for Super Bowl LI, we've made cases for why the New England Patriots could win it all again and also why the Atlanta Falcons could be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in the not-so-distant future.

After taking a look at the macro view of the game, it never hurts to dive a little further into how some individual matchups could have an impact. The coaching staffs of both teams have spent the last two weeks breaking them all down and attempting to figure out how they'll be able to finish this season on top of the football world.

Each one will certainly have an impact on Sunday's outcome, with preparation and execution deciding which winners of these matchups will end up becoming Super Bowl champions.
