Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
If you love apples and America, then tonight’s your night, because “America’s Team” will be heading to the Big Apple — actually the Garden State, but that would ruin my intro — with the Cowboys facing the Giants on “Thursday Night Football.” Although the Cowboys have played dozens of Thursday games in franchise history, tonight’s matchup will mark the first time ever that Dallas has been forced to play a Thursday night road game on just three days’ rest.
The Cowboys are currently favored by 5.5 points, which is good news for Dallas, because it has NOT been a good year for teams that are favored by six points or more. In today’s newsletter, we’ll be taking a look at just how well underdogs have been doing, plus we’ll be previewing tonight’s game and we’ll be making predictions on when each of the undefeated teams will lose their first game.
As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter or you can tell people you run into at the bank. That also works. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here. Let’s get to the rundown.
