Hello football friends, and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! I hope you're ready for Week 6, because it is here and there's no stopping it. It's kicking off Thursday night with what might be my favorite coaching match of the season: Mike Macdonald vs.
I mainly love this coaching matchup because Sean Payton once accused Mike Macdonald and the Seahawks of cheating, even though they weren't cheating (if you need a refresher, we've got the full details here). The two guys have apparently buried the hatchet about that, but I'll believe it when I see it. In today's newsletter, we'll have some picks and best bets for Thursday's game, plus we'll be breaking down whether teams should be buying or selling at the trade deadline.
As always, here's your daily reminder to tell all of your friends to . To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here. Let's get to the rundown.
Week 6 is starting off with the Super Bowl we almost got. If the Broncos had beaten the Patriots in the AFC title game last season, Super Bowl LX would have been Seattle vs. But that didn't happen, so we're going to have to settle for the game we're getting on Thursday.
The Broncos are banged up going into this game, especially in the secondary. CB Patrick Surtain and S Talanoa Hufanga have both been ruled out, which could make things difficult for Denver when it comes to slowing down Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Anyway, here's one reason why each team should be feeling confident going into the game: You can get a full preview of the game from Jared Dubin by clicking here.
If you're thinking about betting on the game, here are a couple of props. If you're wondering how my props are doing this year, I'm 7-13 (2-8 on kicker props and 5-5 on all other props). After starting off 5-3, I'm now 2-10 on my last 12 props.
