ATLANTA (AP)-- The Atlanta Police Department says it's preparing for more than 160,000 people coming into the city for weekend events, including the Atlanta Falcons' NFL playoff game Saturday night.

The Falcons play Green Bay at the Georgia Dome at 8 p.m., an hour after the start of the Houston Rockets-Atlanta Hawks NBA game at Philips Arena.

In addition, King Week festivities continue, there are exhibitor shows at AmericasMart, and the Atlanta Boat Show is held at the Georgia World Congress Center

Atlanta police say they'll rely on off-duty officers, including those hired for events by private groups, to keep order.
