1. Next three games huge for Falcons’ playoff ambitions
Entering Week 7, the Atlanta Falcons are sat comfortably in the NFC’s fifth seed spot with a 5-1 record. The nearest challenge comes from the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth seed with a 3-2 record.
Atlanta owns the third best record in the NFC and could all but seal a playoff berth in the next three weeks, as crazy as that sounds. The next three features road trips to Tennessee and San Francisco with a home game against Tampa Bay in between.
The toughest of the three looks to be the 49ers on the road, but the Falcons will still be favored to win.
