Let’s try something different for our final poll of the regular-season.
The Falcons need two results to go their way to make the playoffs. They need to defeat the Panthers and they need the Saints to defeat the Buccaneers. If that happens, the Falcons are in. If any other combination happens, the Falcons are out.
Long odds we know. Sure, the Falcons should beat the Panthers, although their only division loss came in Charlotte earlier this season. Sure, the Buccaneers should handle the Saints in Tampa, as they won in a blowout on the road earlier this season.
Still, as Grady Jarrett says, the Falcons “still have breath.”
Let us know what you think. How will the Falcons’ playoff fate be determined this week?
