Our Monday Night Football game this week is at 8:30PM at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Monday, December 26th, the day following Christmas in the United States. The Atlanta Falcons will visit Louisiana to take on the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have already gotten their spot in the playoffs, but that doesn't mean that they are going to slack off in the last two weeks of the regular season. The Atlanta Falcons are two games behind the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South right now. The Saints need a win to take another division title.
New Orleans is 11 and 3 right now and is headed to the post season for what will be the third time in three years. However, they are still hoping to get that first round bye, and if they take their third straight victory over the Atlanta Falcons they will do it. The Falcons are 9 and 5 and they just need to win one of the last two games they have to play to make it into the playoffs. Sign up at the banners and get your membership.

The New Orleans Saints have already secured a spot in the playoffs, but they still have plenty to play for in the final two weeks of the regular season.
Two games behind the Saints in the NFC South, the Atlanta Falcons are primed to join them in the postseason.
Needing a win to clinch their second division title in three years, the Saints look to continue their recent success against the Falcons on Monday night at the Superdome.
Riding a season-high six-game winning streak, New Orleans (11-3) is postseason-bound for a third consecutive year. Hoping to earn a first-round playoff bye, the Saints can wrap up the South title with a third straight win over second-place Atlanta (9-5).
"The sky's the limit and that's where we're trying to get to," New Orleans safety Roman Harper said. "Our goal is nothing less than a victory in the Super Bowl, and right now we just trying to stay focused and take it one step at a time."
The Falcons, meanwhile, simply need to win either of their final two games to return to the playoffs. If Atlanta wins both contests and the Saints drop two straight, the Falcons would win their second consecutive South title by virtue of a better record within the division.
Atlanta concludes the regular season at home versus Tampa Bay while New Orleans hosts Carolina, both on New Year's Day.
"We control what we can control," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "It's obvious our guys are familiar with the scenarios we are in. I know our guys are aware of it. We're not going to change our preparation, how we prepare. We try to be as steady as we can and just continue to move forward like we have all season."
