According to my Lions rooting guide, I’m pulling for the Falcons

Falcons (4-5) at Cardinals (1-8) — 4:05 p.m. ET — CBS
Root for: Falcons
Nobody should be afraid of the Falcons, as they’re a team in disarray. So giving them a win is essentially harmless, even if it moves them to .500. Remember, the Lions thoroughly beat them and have that key head-to-head.
But why are we rooting for them this week? To keep the Bears out of the No. 1 pick. Chicago and Carolina are both vying for that top spot—and the Bears have both teams’ first-round picks. Meanwhile, it seems like the Cardinals are the only team standing between them and that pick, so let’s keep them there with another loss.
