Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
It took 15 weeks, but it finally happened: Someone has clinched a division title! I was starting to think that none of the divisions were going to get clinched and that the NFL was going to have to pick names out of a hat to see who makes the playoffs, but thankfully, it doesn’t look like that will have to happen.

Oh, and don’t forget: There are Saturday games this weekend. There will be three games tomorrow starting at 1 p.m. ET and all three will be airing on NFL Network. Here’s a quick look at the schedule:

Ryan Wilson, Will Brinson and I got together after the game to record a 40-minute podcast about the 49ers’ win and what ramifications it might have on the playoffs. Here are a few key points from the game that we went over:
- 49ers defense wrecked the Seahawks. One big reason why the 49ers can win with a rookie QB under center is because their defense is destroying everyone in San Francisco’s path. The Seahawks offense could’t get anything going due to the fact that Geno Smith was facing so much pressure all night. Smith ended up…
