Falcons’ top-10 NFL draft spot is on the line Sunday vs. Tampa Bay

The Bucs have clinched the fourth seed and can’t move up or slip in the playoff race.

The Falcons, Raiders and Panthers are 6-10.

The Saints, Titans, Browns and Jets are 7-9.

The Commanders are 7-8-1.

The Raiders play the Chiefs, who are still chasing the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Panthers face the Saints, who are favored.

The Falcons could lose at least two draft spots with a win over the Bucs’ backups and losses by the Raiders and Panthers.

The Titans play the Jaguars and need a win to claim the AFC South. The Browns play at the Steelers, who need to win to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

The Jets play at the Dolphins.

So, if the Jets and Browns lose, they would move into the 7-10 group, which could include the Falcons and Saints.
