The 6-10 New Orleans Saints will travel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Sunday for the final game of the 2025 NFL season as they take on the 7-9 Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta, currently on a three-game win streak, enters this weekend following a big 27-24 upset over the Los Angeles Rams. New Orleans defeated the Tennessee Titans in week 17 by a final score of 34-26, marking their fourth consecutive victory.
With just one week of regular-season games remaining, the Falcons currently have the 13th-ranked offense in the NFL. They are averaging over 340 yards while scoring nearly 21 points per game....

The Saints’ long list of injuries continues to linger over Sunday’s game.
Very scary news for the Saints’ star WR.
One of the most critical players seems to be making his return.

The #3 Georgia Bulldogs (12-1) face the #6 Ole Miss Rebels (12-1) in the CFP quarterfinals. The winner moves on to the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl in the CFP semifinals on January 8th. Georgia will be looking to make amends for their lackluster performance in last year’s Sugar Bowl, while Ole Miss looks to keep the momentum from last week’s blowout of Tulane.
The Sugar Bowl, taking place in my, and many of your, birthplace of New Orleans, in the beloved Superdome, always makes this game a must watch for Saints fans. Along with the Fiesta, Orange, and Rose, the Sugar...

The New Orleans Saints had a large list of absences in their Thursday practice ahead of their Week 18 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. 11 players didn’t practice for New Orleans, including wide receiver Chris Olave, who has already been ruled out after a blood clot was found in his lungs. It was caught early, and he is expected to be fine. Guard Cesar Ruiz made his return to practice and was a full participant.
The Falcons had eight players appear on their injury report. Key starters were limited, including tight end Kyle Pitts Sr, wide receiver Drake London, and...

The #1 Indiana Hoosiers (13-0) face the #9 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-3) in the CFP quarterfinals. The winner moves on to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in the CFP semifinals on January 9th. This is the “Grandaddy of Them All” and should make for a great Rose Bowl Game.
I’ve always had a particular soft spot for the Rose Bowl, calling the area near the picturesque venue home. Few sights in sports are as consistently breathtaking as the sun setting behind the San Gabriel Mountains in the third quarter of the Rose Bowl Game. This matchup could be another classic.

For our first NFC South matchup of Week 18, we have the Buccaneers going up against the Panthers. Looking at this from the Buccaneers’ side, they need a win here to make the playoffs. It has been extremely close at the top of the division for weeks, but it all comes down to this week. QB Baker Mayfield has not been good enough recently, and they are losing games because of it. If there was ever a time for him to bounce back to his early-season success, it’s now.
On the Panthers’ side,...

“After sleeping through the first half offensively, the Saints turned on the afterburners in the comeback win — their fourth straight victory, putting a bow on what had been a tough season. Granted, it came against a beleaguered Titans defense, but what Tyler Shough has done has paved the way for him to be New Orleans’ 2026 starter. Shough completed 12 of 16 passes for 251 yards and two TDs after halftime, and he did so without relying on his scrambling as much as we had seen in recent games. He and Kellen Moore...
