Sunday was a new low for the Lions, when they lost by four touchdowns to … the Cardinals? It's one thing not to make the playoffs and have a disappointing season, but quite another to pull off that kind of loss. The Falcons have a chance to clinch homefield advantage throughout the playoffs with a win. The Lions' defense has quite a bit of talent, but their tendency to give up lots of points — 27.1 per game — is problematic with playmakers such as Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White on Atlanta's side.
Stephen F. Holder's pick: Falcons 26, Lions 21
