I have been playing around with the NFL playoff predictor on tbe ESPN app. The Falcons chances of making the playoffs seem slimmer than I thought (based on my own research).
To win the NFC South the Falcons need to win the next two games and have the Bucs lose the next two games. If both teams ended with the same record, then Tanpa Bay would win the division.
For the wildcard, the Falcons are one game behind the Rams and Seahawks. The Falcons would need one of them to lose twice for the Falcons to get in since both own tie-breakers over the Falcons. They would also need the Vikings to lose one of their two games since the Vikings have the tie-breaker over the Falcons also. We own the tie-breaker over the Packers if we finish with the same record as them.
