While the Atlanta Falcons (+4) have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the same is not yet true for the New Orleans Saints (-4). It’s fitting that these division rivals face off in the last game of the season in Atlanta. This game still matters, with the Saints clinging to playoff hopes and the Falcons relishing the role of potential spoiler.
In the past, this series has been defined by two offensively focused teams with franchise QBs dueling it out. That has changed. New Orleans clearly misses Drew Brees and they’ve been held to 20 or less points in 3 out of their last 4 games.
