Falcons' playoff hopes waver after losses, ESPN model still sees 72% chance

A couple of weeks ago, the Falcons had a strong 6-3 record and a commanding lead in the NFC South. However, recent losses to the New Orleans Saints and the Denver Broncos have introduced doubts about their postseason prospects, with some playoff models now favoring the Buccaneers over the Falcons. Despite this, the Falcons remain potential favorites for the division title, especially if they can secure wins against challenging opponents like the Chargers, Vikings, or Commanders. ESPN's FPI model still gives Atlanta a 72% chance of ending their postseason drought.
