Improving to 7-10 would affect the Saints\u2019 position in the draft, but few will care if they enter the offseason with a franchise quarterback and head coach of the future, which most are convinced they will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Defeat to the Falcons would be a sour ending to a largely encouraging season, but its impact would be minimal. The black and gold will carry a lot of momentum into the offseason regardless of Sunday\u2019s outcome, and with a loss comes a better draft pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Are you hopeful the Saints will find a fifth straight win in Atlanta?
