Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I’m not going to tell you that you HAVE to watch tonight’s game between the Seahawks and Cowboys, but I am going to say this: There’s a very good chance that this will be the final Thursday game of the season between two teams that BOTH have a winning record.
Another reason to watch is because the Cowboys are playing and everyone loves watching the Cowboys. Half the country loves to watch them win and half the country loves to watch them lose, so you’ll have to watch just to see which half of the country goes to bed happy tonight.
Speaking of tonight’s game, we’ve got a preview coming in today’s newsletter, plus we have some playoff projections that Packers fans are going to love.
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. Let’s get to the rundown.

“I’m going to go with a hard two,” Douzable said. “Will the Jets be able to squeak out three wins in a row, because that’s the only way it makes sense for Rodgers to come back (in Week 16). If they do win three in a row, then they’re back in this thing, but if they just drop one of those games, then it’s almost, for sure over in regards to the Jets going to the playoffs.”
The Jets are 4-7 and as Douzable notes, if they lose any of their next three games — which are against the Falcons, Texans and Dolphins — then it’s almost impossible to see them making the postseason.
As for Brady, he’s giving…
