The Atlanta Falcons will stop over in Jacksonville this week, looking to walk away from a Thursday night matchup in line to qualify for one of the two available wild card playoff berths remaining in the NFC.

Though a win far from guarantees Atlanta the high life for the remainder of the year, it’s one of the few valuable opportunities that will arise before the conclusion of the regular season. If the Falcons can make the most of their winnable games, their odds of winning the Super Bowl improve dramatically.

Naturally that’s easier said than done.
