Georgia Tech closed out its non-conference slate on Wednesday, and now the Yellow Jackets turn their attention to the ACC. At 10-2 overall, they're in better shape entering league play than they were a season ago.

The Atlanta Falcons are using their bye week practices to work on fundamentals. They don't know yet which team they will be playing in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs.

Oddsmakers don't think Georgia Tech will beat the USC Trojans in the 2012 Sun Bowl.

The Atlanta Falcons will try to improve to 13-2 when they take on the Detroit Lions Saturday night.

The Detroit Lions are relatively healthy, but they could be without tight end Brandon Pettigrew against the Falcons. Calvin Johnson should be good to go.

There are three bowls on the schedule this weekend, and while none are marquee matchups, they offer the potential for some entertaining finishes.
