The Atlanta Falcons are set to face the New York Giants in Week 16, with most experts favoring the Falcons. This game marks a significant moment for Atlanta as rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. makes his first NFL start, replacing Kirk Cousins.
Atlanta's need for a victory is crucial as they aim for a playoff spot. Currently standing at 7-7, the Falcons are trailing just one game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South and are also vying for a wild card position.
Conversely, the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention and are enduring a nine-game losing streak. Their last win was on October 6 against the Seattle Seahawks.
