Never tell me the odds, especially when they are not pretty and downright unrealistic. According to NFL.com, the Falcons are still “in the hunt” for a Wild-Card picture.
At 6-6 there are really on the outside look in at the Eagles and Packers, both of which sport 8-4 records. Making things worse, thanks to last Sunday’s debacle, the Eagles hold a tiebreaker over the Falcons. The Giants at 7-4 are also “in the hunt” and much like the Eagles, they also hold a tiebreaker over the Falcons.
With four games to play, if (call it a BIG IF) the Falcons play well until the bitter end, they could go 3-1, which would earn them back-to-back winning seasons. I think that is really all they have left to play for this year.
