New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons

The Saints’ season ending downward spiral continues, as the Atlanta Falcons win the season finale. The Saints go on to lose three in a row, while Atlanta finished winning three out of their last four. Julio proves to be too much for the Saints, scoring three touchdowns a week after everyone already finished their fantasy football season. Falcons give the fans hope for 2017 while Saints fans are left scratching their heads.

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Watch for this one to be flexed into the final Sunday night game of the year as the 10-5 Panthers travel to Tampa to face the 10-5 Bucs, winner taking the division and getting a home playoff game the following week. It’s as close as the Monday night game in Charlotte where the Bucs escaped with a 23-21 victory. This time, it’s Carolina’s turn. Cam is able to engineer a game winning drive in the final minutes, spoiling the Bucs’ home finale and winning the division for an unprecedented fourth consecutive season.
