The Atlanta Falcons will not have the easiest path to the playoffs

Every Falcons fan is hoping that this team can at least make it to the playoffs, but no one can claim they will for certain as they have a very tough schedule.

The first four weeks are a testament to that as they will have to face off against the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angelos Rams, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Cleveland Browns.

Minus the Seahawks, those are three games that the Falcons will never be favored to win. The Falcons can without a doubt compete with the Saints in week one, but will they? That is the big question.

The Rams are a different story, they are the defending champs and are still one of the favorites to win it all in 2022. Perhaps the Falcons can keep it close for a bit but no one should expect to see the Falcons pull off the victory.

When Atlanta travels to the west coast to take on the Seahawks, it will certainly be a winnable game. Seattle is obviously in a transition period, much like the Falcons, so they are not the most well-equipped team.
