  • The Atlanta Falcons are -185 to make the postseason in 2024-25.
  • Atlanta, with a new head coach and quarterback, plays the easiest schedule in the league.
  • I predict the Falcons will make the postseason based on their easy schedule.

Based on NFL odds and Falcons playoff odds, the Atlanta Falcons are predicted to make the postseason this year. 

Atlanta made changes at head coach and quarterback this offseason. They bring Raheem Morris and Kirk Cousins to Atlanta, who is -185 to make the playoffs. 

That price implies a probability of 64.9%. Their price to miss the postseason (+150) implies a probability of 40%.

Prediction: Will the Atlanta Falcons Make the Playoffs? 

I predict the Falcons will make the playoffs this season. 

Based on opponent win totals, Atlanta plays the easiest schedule in the league. Despite my lack of faith in their defense, so much has to go wrong for Atlanta to miss the postseason. 

Of course, it might benefit bettors to wait before betting this number. 

Atlanta opens the season with three straight games against playoff teams. They play only three such games in the final 14 against such teams.

When Was the Last Time the Atlanta Falcons Won the Super Bowl? 

The Falcons are one of 12 teams to have never won the Super Bowl. 

However, Atlanta has reached the championship game twice in team history: 1999 and 2017, the latter of which was the infamous come-from-behind win by the Patriots against them.
