After a crazy outing on Sunday Night Football from the KC Chiefs in which they were victorious, they’ll now hit the road again. This time, it’s to the Georgia Dome to square off against the 7-4 Atlanta Falcons.

The Kansas City Chiefs will partake in their final NFC South game for the 2016 season. They’ve gone 2-1 in the division thus far and have a chance to either go 3-1 or .500.

Unfortunately, the KC Chiefs have “saved” the best for last when it comes to the NFC South, as the Falcons are easily one of the best offenses in all of football. Their defense isn’t too hot, but the offense more than makes up for it with the scoring ability they possess.

The Chiefs will have their hands full with the Atlanta offense, so let’s take a look at every positional match-up and see which team has the edge.

Quarterback

Smith or Ryan?

This one isn’t close. Matt Ryan has already thrown for 26 touchdowns and only has six interceptions on the year. Alex Smith just threw his tenth touchdown in Denver and only has two less picks than Ryan.

Matty Ice has been one of the few constants for the Falcons during his nine years there. He’s always putting up decent numbers and 2016 is looking to be one of his better seasons. Ryan could end up being a legit MVP candidate come seasons end.

Advantage: Atlanta
