PHILADELPHIA — It’s only the Divisional Playoff round. The sixth-seeded Atlanta Falcons are the road team.

Still, the team travels to Philadelphia as a 2.5-point favorite against an Eagles team that finished the season with the best record in the NFC and is without their star quarterback, Carson Wentz.
