If the Tampa Bay Buccaneer win on Sunday, they will move to a first place tie with the as both teams will sit at 6-7 on the season and 3-1 in the division. If they lose, their odds to make the postseason become minimal at best.
Both teams still have games remaining against the Panthers and Saints while the Bucs still have to take on the Packers and Jaguars while the Falcons get the Colts and Bears. Essentially, there is no room for error for the Bucs - and that makes the ugly 16-13 loss to the Falcons earlier in the season that much worse.
