(AP) - One game is a rematch. The other might feel like one.

For the second straight year in the AFC, the New England Patriots will host the Baltimore Ravens with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

In the NFC, it will be San Francisco traveling to Atlanta, with the Falcons defense trying to stop a versatile, running quarterback for the second straight week.

On Saturday, Colin Kaepernick led the Niners to the NFC title game with a 45-31 win over Green Bay. On Sunday, Atlanta edged Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks 30-28.

The Patriots beat Houston 41-28 on Sunday to advance. Baltimore beat Denver 38-35 in two overtimes Saturday.
