5Dimes Bowling for Dollars!!! -- Be This Year's Kingpin

NFL Odds: With NFC Wild Card Available, Falcons Visit Jaguars Desperate for Win

It took a 24-point second half in their Week 14 matchup on Sunday, but the Atlanta Falcons eventually clawed their way to a comeback victory over the Carolina Panthers and put themselves back in the conversation as a possible NFC playoff contender.

Get exact NFL odds for the postseason with Bovada Sportsbook.

Though they've seen the New Orleans Saints pull out in front of the NFC South and stay there, hope remains for the 8-5 Falcons to sneak in to the extra season through a wild card berth. In order to do so though they'll have to continue capitalizing on winnable games.

This Thursday, in a primetime Week 15 affair, the Falcons will match up against the 4-9 Jacksonville Jaguars. Though the Matt Ryan-led contingent isn?t about to guarantee a championship any time soon, their odds of winning the Super Bowl would likely jump with a second consecutive win at this point in the season.

Currently the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys stand as competition for the final two NFC berths.

Sadly for Falcons fans, the hometown Jaguars aren?t about to just roll over. Count on the tandem of Blaine Gabbert and Maurice Jones-Drew to power their squad on the NFL odds board, whether or not it will be enough.

With time running out in the regular season the pressure is on any and all clubs looking to reserve spots in the postseason. It starts now and will continue until the final whistle blows.

Bet on the NFL playoff hunt with Bovada Sportsbook.
