FLOWERY BRANCH  -- Did someone say playoffs?

The Falcons have a 44.9 percent chance to make the playoffs and need to win all four of their remaining games to clinch the berth, according to makeNFLplayoffs.com.

The playoff race is still wide open in the NFC. No teams have clinched and only three have been eliminated.

The Vikings (99.86 percent chance of making the playoffs; 76.6 percent of earning a first-round bye) and Eagles  (99.81 percent chance of making the playoffs; 64.9 percent chance of earning a first-round bye) are almost certain to make the postseason.

Either team could lose all four of their remaining games and still have at least a 96.9 percent chance of earning a playoff berth, according to the website.

The Saints (94.7 percent) and Rams (93.6 percent) will clinch a playoff berth with two wins in their final four games.

The Seahawks (71.2 percent) will clinch a playoff berth with three wins in their remaining four games.

The Panthers (63.9 percent) and Falcons (44.9 percent) each control their own fates and will make the playoffs if they win their final four games.
