Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
Well, well, well, “Time” magazine handed out its “Person of the Year” award yesterday, and unfortunately, I did not win. Instead, the award went to Taylor Swift, and I have to say, I spent so much time writing about her this year that I thought they might call me for comment, but they did not.

Speaking of the game, we’ll be previewing it in this newsletter, plus we’ll be unveiling our first MVP Watch of the season.
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 get what you’re saying, he may not be healthy enough, but let’s not forget, they still have the number one record in football,” Douzable said. “To me, Carr’s point makes absolutely no sense. It would be one thing if they lost three or four games in a row and you’re saying, ‘Maybe we just need to get Jalen healthy so we can make a run in the playoffs,’ but they’re still the No. 1 seed in the NFC, so what are we talking about here!?”
As for Quinn, who is a former NFL QB like Carr, he wasn’t buying Carr’s hot take.
“I don’t agree in any way, shape or form with David Carr’s assessment. … I think that’s a tough sell to the rest of your team and a tough sell…
