Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I’m going to make today’s newsletter as dramatic as possible since we didn’t really get any drama over the weekend. There were four games played and only one of them went down to the wire. Although we got stuck with three blowouts, I actually thought it was a solid weekend of football.
In a span of 36 hours, we saw:
Two favorites get blown out in Texas (Browns and Cowboys). The fourth-coldest game in NFL history (Chiefs over Dolphins). The Lions won their first playoff game in 32 years. Also, we saw two teams score at least 45 points, which hasn’t happened twice in a single playoff round since 2009. And let’s not forget, we saw two of the most efficient QB performances of ALL-TIME. Both Jordan Love and C.J. Stroud finished with a QB rating of 157.2, which means they are now tied for the fourth-highest QB rating in a playoff game in NFL history.
We’ll be covering all of that, plus more in today’s newsletter, so let’s get to the rundown.
As always, here’s your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do is click here and then share this link with them. Getting your friends signed up is a great way to help them start 2024 off on the right foot.

The three of us touched on our biggest takeaways from Super Bowl Wild Card Weekend. Here are a few of the biggest questions that we tried to answer:
Will Mike McCarthy get fired? After watching the Cowboys suffer a total meltdown in the playoffs,…
