Week 17 primer:
» Ranking games in order of intrigue
Why this game is intriguing: There's nothing more for the Falcons to accomplish in this regular season. Home-field advantage is nice. Beating up some solid teams, like the Giants, on the way was nicer. So don't be shocked if Atlanta rests some starters with nothing to gain. For the Bucs, losers of five straight at the end of a season that began with so much promise under coach Greg Schiano, a victory might be meaningful heading into the offseason.
