JACKSONVILLE — Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I’m writing to you today from the lobby of my hotel in Jacksonville where there are plenty of Jaguars and Bengals fans still floating around. The Jaguars fans keep checking their phones in hopes of getting the latest updates on Trevor Lawrence’s injury while the Bengals fans are walking around in a total daze.

We’ll take a look at the latest details on his injury, plus we’ll be breaking down Cincinnati’s win and going over Pete Prisco’s latest power rankings.

They may get shut out again.”
- Brinson: Chiefs (-3) to cover against Bills. The Chiefs have won 10 straight games after a loss, which is the longest active streak in the NFL, and Brinson thinks the streak will continue Sunday. “I like the Chiefs in this spot. They’re coming off an embarrassing loss in prime time (to the Packers). You get the Bills, you…
