NFC Wild Card #2 Atlanta Falcons
After the heart-wrenching defeat in Superbowl LI, the Atlanta Falcons didn't really start the season well and only made it to the playoffs after defeating the Carolina Panthers in the last game of the season. Needless to say, 2016 league MVP and Quarterback Matt Ryan has to be sensational for them to go deep into the playoffs. The Running Back duo of Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman also needs to perform at the highest. Julio Jones is always a deep threat but the Falcons will be best served by distributing the ball among other receivers and hitting Julio Jones for one on one matchups.
Superbowl Odds: 30-1

AFC Wild Card #2: Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are back in the playoffs after 17 years! They are also one of the 13 teams without a Superbowl. They also have the worst offense and defense among all the playoff teams. To have any chance of winning, they need to have star Running Back LeSean McCoy back from his ankle injury. On top of that, Quarterback Tyrod Taylor needs to step his game up a notch and make some plays with his wide receivers.
Superbowl Odds: 200-1
