The rivalry does not need much explanation. In the world of the NFL, long-standing series between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints is one of the most bitter, hatred-driven rivalries in the entire league. The same can probably be said in all of sports, as well.
Currently, the Falcons lead the all-time series, 53-51. In order for them to get win number 54, they will have to roll back the sleeves a little and buckle down on the road against a Saints team that is currently on a three-game win streak and coming off a big home win last week against the Bucs.
