Neither the New Orleans Saints nor the Atlanta Falcons have played well this season. The Saints have a chance at a .500 record, but even that is no guarantee. However, despite their losing record, both teams have a chance at making the postseason, in control of their own destiny's. Both the Falcons and Saints have a chance at winning the NFC South and this game will likely dictate the outcome.

While Atlanta got the win in their meeting of the season, the Saints are coming off a strong win and have the home field advantage. The Saints are fresh off a win over the Chicago Bears. The Falcons are coming off a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. At the moment, that has the Saints in first place in the NFC South, but the Falcons have the season tiebreaker and could secure back the top spot with a win on Sunday. The home team could have the advantage in this match. The Saints are 7-1 against Atlanta in the Superdome while Drew Brees is averaging 320.7 yards and nine touchdowns during a three-game home win streak in the series.

The Falcons won the first game against the Saints on an overtime field goal from Matt Bryant. Matt Ryan put up a franchise-record 448 yards and three touchdowns. He has been burned by bad interceptions over the past three weeks while totaling 1,046 yards and eight touchdowns during the last three weeks. Ryan is hoping to have Julio Jones back on the field who has not been seen since his record-breaking performance on Monday Night Football. The receiver has a hip injury that could keep him out a second week in a row. 

The Saints have a lot of momentum coming off the Monday win. Their offense looked better than it has all season as Jimmy Graham put up 87 yards following a three-catch performance. The Saints limited Chicago to just 278 yards on offense while getting Jay Cutler to toss three interceptions. They will look to treat Ryan the same way.
