Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
After watching both playoff games yesterday, I can officially say that Super Wild Card Weekend wasn’t super, or wild, for that matter. There were six games during the wild-card round and five of them ended up being decided by 14 or more points. Not only that, but after the Browns-Texans game on Saturday, there wasn’t a SINGLE LEAD CHANGE in any of the final five games of the weekend.
Although we got a bunch of blowouts, the games were still somehow entertaining. I mean, the Eagles have been the best train wreck on television for nearly seven weeks now. We’ll be covering their loss in today’s newsletter, plus we’ll be breaking down Buffalo’s win and we’ll be playing some coaching matchmaker. Also, I’ll be making my divisional round picks, which I know you’re dying to see.
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. All right, let’s get to the rundown.

- Will Nick Sirianni get fired? The Eagles, who went into December with a 10-1 record, just finished one of the worst collapses in NFL history by losing to the Buccaneers. Sirianni didn’t have any answers and he was never able to right the ship. Doug Pederson got fired in Philly just three years after winning the Super Bowl, so we know that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie will fire someone if he feels that a change needs to be made. Brinson, Wilson and I were all on the same page here: We think the Eagles decide to move on from Sirianni.
- Will Mike Tomlin be coaching the Steelers in 2024? Tomlin’s future is currently up in the air and he didn’t help things on Monday by WALKING out of a press conference after he got asked about his contract, which only…
