The Atlanta Falcons will enter the 2025 NFL season with much anticipation, again. With a second-year quarterback who looked phenomenal in the final game as a rookie and all sorts of offensive talent, fans hope they can break their long postseason drought.

*Bolded marks 2024 playoff teams
2025 will be the Falcons' turn to play one more game on the road than at home—teams alternate each year.
Fortunately, most games against playoff teams will be in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Overall, their opponents have a .478 winning percentage—.537 at home, .425 on he road.
Notably, five of their eight home games and two of their nine road games are against winning teams in 2024.
However, the NFL is known for its year-to-year parody. Winning percentages of prior seasons only tell you so much about a future opponent.
