The Falcons already clinched their spot in the playoff last week in Minnesota. But they can clinch the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs with a victory over the Rams and a Carolina loss to the Saints where at home the Saints haven't loss a game. So the Falcons gets home-field advantage if all goes well.
During the playoffs, the football schedule is expanded to include Thursday and Saturday games, as well as Sunday.

The team that had the better regular season record earns home field advantage in the series and is entitled to 3 home games during the five game series. The exception is if one of the teams made the playoffs as a wildcard in which case they do not get home field advantage in the division series under any circumstances. One team gets three games at home and the other team gets 2.
