how accurate are those percentages? I'm pretty confident with those numbers.

I think they do a very good job. You have to realize that while the Falcons lost to an AFC team, all of the main competitors lost to NFC teams, except Chicago, but they also lost.

I think we're pretty much a lock for the play-offs. This loss was emotional and all, but it wasn't the end of the world.

I think you are right. Based on the competition I think 10-6 gets us in. Maybe 9-7 but I hope it doesn't come down to that.

I highly doubt 9-7 will do it, but I don't think we'll have to worry about that anyways.

Words of death there. You see us beating Carolina?

I think 9-7 will get the Falcons in and I kind of think that is where they are going to finish. This week's game is gonna be pretty tough I think.

Yes. Absolutely.

To get in at 9-7, we need the Cowboys to beat the Giants at least once (which seems pretty likely) AND we need the Lions to lose in the last week to Green Bay, as well as lose to Oakland, San Diego, or Vikings.

The Lions are the real danger. If Green Bay isn't playing for anything, the Lions could easily win out. Even if they lose to Green Bay, we would need for them to lose to one of the Oakland, San Diego, on Minnesota to get to 7 losses.

That's tough. I think there is probably a 70% chance they win 3 of those last 4 and finish 10-6. But I hope not.

It doesn't matter what the Lions do if both the Bears and Giants finish 8-8.
