Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
It’s going to be a great day for Mike McCarthy, and that’s mainly because his hot seat cooled down by one degree Thursday night.

In today’s newsletter, we’ll be handing out some grades from last night’s game, plus we’ll be giving out some bold predictions and NFL picks for Week 4.
