1 of 5

We’ve got one of the most action-packed weeks of the NFL. There are a ton of great games to choose from and here are the top five you’ll see.

We’ve seen some great weeks of NFL football this season, but this week might top everything else. Week 14 has a fantastic slate of games and it’s going to be hard to switch your television back and forth this week.

Luckily, we’ve got you covered and here are the top five games you have to tune into this week.

5. New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons

This might be the most important Thursday Night Football game of the season and that’s not an exaggeration. The NFC South has easily been the best division in football this season. The Saints, Panthers, and Falcons all have the opportunity to make the playoffs this year. It’s a crucial division matchup tomorrow night between two teams that would greatly benefit from a win.

One week the Falcons dominate their opponent, the other week they can’t get any offensive production going. The inconsistencies have been a huge problem for Dan Quinn’s squad this season and that’s why they sit at 7-5 and one spot out of the last wild-card spot. The talent is there on both sides of the ball but it just hasn’t been performing on a week-to-week basis. They did come up against a very good Vikings team last week but the Falcons also put 34 points on the Seahawks. The Saints have been a solid defensive team this season but they’re vulnerable. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones need to take advantage of that.

The Saints continue to cruise along this season. They’re 8-1 since starting off 0-2 and it’s been a fun team to watch. Drew Brees can still sling the ball and Alvin Kamara is a bonified superstar in the making. He’s clearly been the best rookie offensive player this season and that’s saying something. The Saints have surely found their No. 1 running back for a very long time. The defense will have their hands full and has to make stops early and set the tone of this game. This game has a weird feeling to be a shootout but the Saints have the offensive weapons to plays that way if needed.

Oddly enough, this is the first time these two have met this season. They’ll turn around and play again two makes later on Christmas Eve. The division could come down right to wire and we’ll see how it plays out on Thursday night.
