FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons are 3-5 at the midway point of the 2025 season. It's not at all where the team wants to be, nor where it needs to be to see a postseason berth realized. The Falcons are at a turning point. They leave for Germany to face the Indianapolis Colts later this week before returning home to host the Panthers and then make a trip to New Orleans.
It is do or die, and the odds — as we will discuss right at the top of this mailbag — are not in the Falcons' favor as Week 10 begins.
Let's get into it.

Can the Atlanta Falcons beat math? In my calculation they had a 18.2 chance of making the playoffs. Their odds are significantly impacted by their 0-2 divisional record. And with this recent lost. I am optimistic but only to a point.
