No. 7 Atlanta Falcons
Record: 10-5
Last Week's Ranking: 9th
Last Game: Won 33-16 Over Panthers
Outlook: The Falcons could not have had a better Christmas Eve. They dominated a Panthers team that has played better as of late. Atlanta got to sit back and watch the Seahawks lose narrowly to the Cardinals. Atlanta now controls their own destiny for a first round bye. A win over the Saints and the Falcons will secure the two seed in the NFC. Atlanta has won their last three games but are flying a bit under the radar as the Cowboys, Seahawks and Packers have received a lot of the attention in the conference. With the Falcons offense playing well, this as dangerous of a team as any other in the NFC. (Getty)
