Falcons have a 5% chance at making the playoffs We spent the last few weeks saying the Atlanta Falcons are basically in a must-win situation. At 1-2 Black Brandon Fusco Jersey , another loss tosses a rock-bottom team a shovel. At 1-3, another loss rolls a boulder over the top of the hole. Dan Quinn really needed to beat the Bengals to keep a good chance at making the playoffs. He really, really needed to beat the Steelers to keep any realistic chance of making the playoffs.What’s the realistic chance? Analytics site 538 ran the numbers from 1990 to 2013. It’s a little outdated, but teams that started 1-4, obviously, did not make the playoffs often. 538 SportsThat’s right. 5 percent of teams that start at 1-4 end up in the playoffs. This may be even tougher with a tough NFC pushing a wildcard berth up to 10 or more wins. Even assuming the conference falls apart and 9 wins will get a team that last wild card spot, the Falcons need to go 8-3 to get there. Give me a healthy Falcons team and I’m optimistic they can slice through this tepid schedule for 8 more wins. Give me Jordan Richards, Duke Riley, and whatever Marquand Manuel is doing with the defensive line and secondary, and I cannot see it. Atlanta still faces off with the Ravens, the Packers Youth Vic Beasley Jr Jersey , the Saints, the Panthers, and whatever Tampa Bay is after benching Ryan Fitzpatrick. 2018 went so quickly from potential Super Bowl berth to wasted season that I have whiplash. On the plus side, the Falcons are looking at a top 5 draft pick. Prepare for lots of draft talk. You should watch the FCS playoffs. It’s not the College Football Playoff, but it’s still serious, high-stakes, Division I football, all in front of actual campus crowds, rather than NFL stadiums far from universities.Below is the 2018 playoff bracket, released in full. A few notes first:The setup is much bigger than FBS’ minuscule and very sad Playoff: 24 teams, with first-round byes for the eight top seeds. The NCAA tries to keep games local http://www.authenticsatlantafalcons.com/cheap-matt-bryant-jersey , and in the first round, host privileges often go to the team with better attendance. Higher seeds host the rest of the way, until the Jan. 5 title game in Frisco, Texas, which has hosted the FCS championship since 2010.The reigning champ, North Dakota State (yes, again), enters as the No. 1 seed (yes, again) and the favorite to win a seventh FCS title in eight years. The FCS level is prone to dynasties — Appalachian State pulled off a threepeat, Georgia Southern won three different back-to-backs, and Youngstown State once won four in seven years — but this is ridiculous.The Bison might be better than ever before Black Deion Jones Jersey , in fact. They’re a unanimous No. 1 in both major polls, and the Sagarin computer system ranks them among the top 25 teams in all of Division I, ahead of teams like Florida and Wisconsin. That’s not entirely unprecedented (Sagarin had 2013’s 15-0 Bison at No. 17), though.The three other top seeds are Eastern Washington, Kennesaw State, and Weber State.The whole thing kicks off Nov. 24 on WatchESPN, with a new round each weekend until the long break between the semis and the title game.Here’s the full 2018 FCS playoffs bracket:NCAANo. 1 North Dakota State will host the winner of:Incarnate Word at Montana StateNo. 8 Colgate will host the winner of:Delaware at James MadisonNo. 4 Kennesaw State will host the winner of:Elon at WoffordNo. 5 South Dakota State will host the winner of:Duquesne at TowsonNo. 2 Weber State will host the winner of:Stony Brook at Southeast Missouri StateNo. 7 Maine will host the winner of:East Tennessee State at Jacksonville StateNo. 3 Eastern Washington will host the winner of:San Diego at NichollsNo. 6 UC Davis will host the winner of:Lamar at Northern Iowa
