The Atlanta Falcons and their most-hated rivals, the New Orleans Saints , will face off on Monday Night Football in Week 4. Regardless of how either team is playing, records get thrown out the window whenever these two NFC South foes take the field.

Both the Falcons and Saints are playing good football at the moment, even if their combined 2-4 record says otherwise. With three of the four NFC South teams (Falcons, Saints and Bucs ) tied at 1-2, the winner of Monday's prime-time showdown could potentially take sole possession of first place.

It may be tough for some around the league to buy into either team, but former Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is willing to go out on a limb for Atlanta. Like many, White was impressed by Atlanta's dominant win over the Green Bay Packers .

"After this week my birds are gone to be back [in] first place I know that," White posted on Twitter . "Aints fans y'all ain't ready for this ass whipping."

White more than earned the right to speak on the rivalry, having recorded 86 catches for 1,293 yards and nine touchdowns in 22 career games against the Saints. Atlanta holds a slight edge, 58-56, over New Orleans in the series after 114 games (including one playoff matchup).

Monday night's game starts at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. Get your popcorn ready!
