The Atlanta Falcons will clash with the New Orleans Saints at Mercedes-Benz Superdome Saturday afternoon in a massive matchup for both teams. While a victory by either side will not clinch the NFC South title outright, a loss would be devastating to either team's chances of winning the division and the right to host at least one playoff game.

The Falcons defeated the Saints 20-17 in Atlanta on Dec. 7, and I think they're spotted too many points to pass up on here when on the road. Atlanta has a solid 5-2 record on the road and coming off a 24-21 win at Tampa Bay on Monday. The Falcons are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game and 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Saints have split their last four games and covered the spread only once through their last five. They'll likely rely on Pro Bowl running backs Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara to move the ball, but the Falcons D ranks a solid 9th in the NFL against the run allowing 106.6 rushing yards per game.

Underdog is 7-1 ATS in their last eight meetings. Take the points.

My selection is an 8* play on Atlanta Falcons.
