and New Orleans Saints (-4) are coming off of bye weeks, but not all bye weeks are created equal. The Falcons come into this one very healthy—only Chuma Edoga is set to miss the game—and set to roll out a rookie quarterback. The Saints are still awfully banged up and still have Andy Dalton under center.
That may well be what the game turns on, but suffice to say this is a very big game for both teams. The Saints are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs just yet, but Atlanta can finish them off on Sunday.
