Atlanta's division records since 2006
1-5
3-3
3-3
5-1
3-3
3-3
1-5
5-1
1-5
5-1

No 2-4, no 4-2. So imagine if we beat Atlanta this weekend, and Carolina wins, then what?

Carolina at Atlanta probably becomes the week 17 SNF, and if the saints beat the bucs. What reason does Carolina have to win at Atlanta other than trying to eliminate them from the playoffs? Does Carolina even care about that? And honestly, why would they want to go out and win a road game, knowing they are going to have to go on the road against us the week after(unless the titans win this week).

So I'm worried that if even if we do win this week, we might lose to the bucs.

Maybe there is a miracle and TB wins this week, leaving Carolina to fight for their playoff lives.

Tampa almost beat Atlanta last week. It could happen.
I’m not convinced we can go beat Tampa if we have to. We aren’t safe. Yet.
Honestly if we don’t beat Atlanta at home we have no business in the playoffs.
