Falcons can clinch NFC's top seed with win

The storyline
The Falcons have built up a margin for error, but this will be a measuring stick game for both clubs, regardless.

Why you should watch
Will Matt Ryan ever lose at home again? Will the Saints be able to withstand a big dose of the run game after the Ravens gouged them last week? A Falcons sweep would cap a tremendous regular season.
