The Falcons will begin their divisional play against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.

Both teams are coming off losses in Week 3. The Saints hold a 2-1 record, while the Falcons stand at 1-2. Atlanta has faced opponents with a combined record of 8-1 so far this season, and this upcoming game is expected to be equally challenging. Historically, games between Atlanta and New Orleans are highly competitive regardless of their records.

This rivalry match marks the start of three consecutive divisional games for Atlanta, which could significantly impact their goal of winning the NFC South.

"The division is coming in town," said Falcons head coach Raheem Morris. "We better be ready to deal because this will determine a lot about us at the end of it all."

A win would improve either team's standing in the NFC South. Currently, the Saints lead the all-time regular season series against the Falcons with a record of 55-54. However, Atlanta won their only playoff meeting, defeating New Orleans 27-20 in the wild card round of the 1991 playoffs.

Predictions for this week's game have been mixed compared to previous weeks when picks were heavily skewed toward the Falcons' opponents.
