Atlanta (12-2) at Detroit (4-10)
When, where: 8:30 p.m., at Ford Field, Detroit.
TV, radio: ESPN, WEEI (93.7).
Line: Atlanta by 4.
Last meeting: Falcons won, 23-16, in 2011.
Of note: The Falcons can clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs if they can serve the Lions a seventh consecutive defeat. Eyes will be on Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, who needs just 182 yards to break Jerry Rice’s NFL record of 1,848 receiving yards set in 1995.
