To the surprise of absolutely no one, the San Francisco 49ers will be a bit banged up heading into this weekend's showdown with the Seattle Seahawks. The winner of this Saturday's game between the Seahawks and 49ers will claim the No.

The Atlanta Falcons have been eliminated from playoff contention, but they still have a chance to match last year's win total by going 2-0 in their final two games of the season. In Week 17, the Falcons will host the Los Angeles Rams in prime time on ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast.
