ATLANTA, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Falcons have climbed back into the mix for a playoff spot as they take on the New York Giants in round four of the NFL playoffs.

The Falcons are currently tied with the Dallas Cowboys at 7-5 in the NFC South division and sit just one game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who hold the top seed in the conference.

Atlanta has won two straight games after losing three consecutive contests to fall to 6-6 on the season.

The Falcons will look to bounce back from their recent loss to the Carolina Panthers when they host the Giants at Georgia Dome on Saturday night.

New York, meanwhile, is looking to snap a five-game losing streak that has seen them drop out of the top five in the AFC East standings.

The Giants have lost their last two games by a combined score of 142-9 and have not won since Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

However, the Giants still have a chance to clinch the division title if they can win on Sunday.

The Giants have won six of their last seven meetings with the Falcons and have scored 105 points in those seven games.

They also have a plus-36 turnover differential over the same span, which gives them a slight edge in terms of defense.

If the Giants can pull off the upset, it would give them a shot at the top seed in the NFC East.

If the Falcons lose, however, it could put them in danger of missing the playoffs altogether.

No matter what happens, this game promises to be a thrilling battle between two of the best teams in the league.

The Falcons have the home field advantage and should have the upper hand in this matchup, but the Giants will certainly not go down without a fight.

Both teams have had their ups and downs this season, but the winner of this game will be able to move forward and secure their place in the playoffs.
