Spot on from what I looked at yesterday too.
I think *IF* (and a big IF) we beat the Vikings, hold your shite, cause things are really gonna be looking up for the Division crown, again.

But yea, 1 game at a time.

I need some help understanding the ESPN Power Rankings.

Before this weekend's games, the Falcons were at 9 and the Seahawks were at 10. Both teams won, with the Falcons beating Tampa by 14 (now 4-7) and the Seahawks winning at SF by 11 (now 1-10). The Falcons remained at 9 while the Seahawks jumped to 7, even though the Falcons just beat them at their place 2 weeks ago.

Does this make sense to anyone? I'm aware that they mean next to nothing and have no purpose other than to generate discussion, but I'd like to know what I am missing.

I honestly don't look at those anymore along with their FPI. A week ago they had the Rams ahead of New Orleans. Then the Rams beat New Orleans soundly and moved New Orleans ahead of the Rams.

The good news is that the NFL is NOT CFB and none of those matter at all. I wish CFB would do something similar and remove conference championships and go to a 16 team playoff.

Yea, Vic Beasley has been M.I.A. for a few weeks, I feel. A sack or 2 from him would be crucial in this game.

Falcons will have to win without getting sacks. Case Keenum does not take sacks. He has been sacked 7 times in 9.5 games. Bradford was sacked 5 times in 1.5 games. To be fair, Bradford was a statue in that game he came back for.
