Despite sweeping the Bucs and starting 4-0 in the NFC South, the Falcons are far from locking things up. With Atlanta currently on a 2-game losing streak, the Buccaneers quietly still have life in the NFC South. Will the Falcons still be able to hold on and win the division?

The Atlanta Falcons have the NFC South division lead and hold the tiebreakers over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's not as far fetched as it once seemed to think the Bucs could end the season with a better record than the Falcons, although it's certainly going to take quite a 2nd half run from Tampa.


The Falcons have a tougher schedule than the Bucs to end the season, and if the Bucs can go 6-1 against their schedule with the Falcons going just 3-3 against theirs, the Bucs would end the season on top.

The Falcons remaining schedule likely had them as betting favorties in three games and underdogs in three games
• CHARGERS, Vikings, Raiders, GIANTS, Commanders, PANTHERS

The Buccaneers remaining schedule might have them as favorite in six games and an underdog just once.
• Giants, Panthers, RAIDERS, Chargers, Cowboys, PANTHERS, SAINTS
