With Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers the Falcons secured second place in the NFC South. So, in the 2010 season, Atlanta will play the second-place teams n the NFC East and NFC North.
Green Bay finished behind Minnesota in the North and will travel to the Georgia Dome at some point next season. The loser of the Cowboys-Eagles game (Philadelphia), is the second-place finisher in the NFC East and will host the Falcons.
Atlanta’s other home and away opponents are set based on the league’s rotating format:
Home Opponents
Baltimore
Cincinnati
Arizona
San Francisco
Tampa Bay
Carolina
New Orleans
Green Bay
Road Opponents
Pittsburgh
Cleveland
Seattle
St. Louis
Tampa Bay
Carolina
New Orleans
Philadelphia

Thanks J Mike, looks like an exciting time in the Dome next year!!
Why did this list seem easier a week ago?
Thanks for the information J. Mike. Today was another great day to be a Falcons fan–a phenomenon that seems to be on the increase since Thomas Dimitroff and Smitty arrived…coincidence??? I think not!
We now have the first piece of the puzzle with the opponents for next season, but when will we know the dates of the games for next season? My wife and I are trying to make some travel plans for next fall (celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2010 with a trip to Italy) and want to work around the Falcons home games, since we’re STH.
Thanks for all of the great work this season J. Mike: we all appreciate it!
Does falcons site have this wrong because in 2007, falcons played in Seattle and home against San Fran so I feel those two should be reversed. Am I wrong? Great schedule next year as more difficult games are at home, opposite of this season (what the saints had this year, redskins, bills and dolphins on road and pats and jets at home)
i cant wait for the falcons to play pittsburgh next year, because My Dad is a BIG steelers FAN!!. and of course im in PA and for some reasom im a falcons fan . :0 prolly cuz i have faith for them. but yeah bring on those steelers and lets KICK their ass !! lol GO FALCONS!!!!1
Revenge against Philly, New Orleans, and Arizona. Can’t wait!
I do not think any other team in the league could have done any better than we have given all the adversity this team has faced i.e, tough schedule, playing tough teams away off their bye. People are saying how this isn’t an elite football team but I think it’s seasons like this that make you one. If it weren’t for adversity they would be a bunch of, well you know what I mean. I hope we make a deal to keep grimes around he has earned his spot on this team. We still need a #1 cover guy.
Those of us who have lived here with the Falcons for 35 years have seen it all…and it feels real good to be done with it…..let the dynasty begin!!!!
GRIMES may be the most improved player on the Falcons this year. His work ethic must be through the roof, and his humble college origins keep him motivated to work harder than anyone else. Let’s keep him around. Crisp Houston should be gone.
looks like another good season set up for falcons. we continue to climb up ladder of great teams in nfl. hopefully 2010 will be a super bowl champ year.
Hope in tha off season we really look close on tha wide receiver free agency pool.I really think a Terrell Owens,Steve Smith,Ardre Johnson,which there is many more to name but i and many more fans really find that fit on tha other side of roddy white
with everybody helthy and better we can win all 8 games home and 3-4 on the road this seasons looking like a great one thus far hope we have all players all year
falcons, the new americas team
Tony G is a beast. We need him back. Plus he’ll be a great teacher for the other TE’s. Snelling was great at times. Excellent backup for Turner. We played 6 teams off a bye in 2009. Our schedule looks good for 2010. Defense looking better. If we stay healthy, we will kick butt!
very easy next year16-0
Jsut a quick glance at the schedule, and depending on how things shake out …. I feel like 6 – 7 wins in the Dome, 4 – 5 wins on the road … so 10 wins and that’s without too much difficulty
i am very pumped up 2 see some team we have not seen like the browns and Pitts and also next season Joe Falcco VS Matt Ryan in the dome. also looking at the schedule i think we have a good chances of going 11-5 or 12-4
Dats going to b an exiting season thanx for puttin pittsburgh on the list because i always wanted to see us playin pittsburgh
12-4…..First round bye….nfc championship game in Green Bay….gonna be a good game!!
ok this is going to be a 9-7 year again
I believe the 2010 home and away are reversed for St. Louis and San Francisco. Rams game should be in the Georgia Dome with the 49er game in San Francisco.

This was the case, but the NFL changed it during the offseason to keep East and West Coast teams from crossing the country too much.

Walter the last time I checked Tony G. has a 3 year contract with Atl.
The falcons need a new defensive coordinator and a new defense roster all corner baccs must go.
live in ohio, about 45 mins from pittsburgh and few hours from cleveland. already trying to get tickets for one of the games. hopefully they are early in the season GO FALCONS
