Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I would like to start things off here by apologizing to the NFL schedule-maker. With the Falcons playing their third prime-time game in four weeks, I complained that Atlanta was getting too many prime-time games and I must now admit that I was wrong.

As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here.
