Buccaneers at Falcons picks and best bets, plus coaches on the hot seat and ranking every NFL division

Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!

Someone in the NFL scheduling department must really love the Atlanta Falcons because for the third time in four weeks, we’re getting the Falcons in prime time. To put that in perspective, the Falcons had exactly ZERO prime-time games last year. 

Stop trying to make the Falcons happen, NFL. It’s not going to happen. (I’ll be honest guys, my wife told me it was Mean Girls Day and I took that as a challenge to get a Mean Girls reference in here and that was it: Stop trying to make Fetch happen). 

The good news for non-Falcons fans is that if Atlanta’s first two prime-time games are any indication, then we’re going to be in for an absolutely bonkers night. Both games went down to the wire with Atlanta beating Philadelphia 22-21 in Week 2 before losing to Kansas City, 22-17, in Week 3. 

In today’s newsletter, we’ll be previewing tonight’s game, plus we’ll be taking a look at who’s already on the hot seat. 

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.

This NFC South showdown will be kicking off from Atlanta at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime. 

Here’s one reason why each team should be feeling confident going into…
