Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!After a crazy opening weekend of NFL football, I didn't think that things could po sibly get any crazier on Monday night, but somehow, they did. got welcomed back to Seattle with boos and in a twist of irony, he probably wanted to boo his own team after the way things went down during Denver's shocking 17-16 lo s to the Seahawk on Monday night.Wilson played a great game, but got no help from his head coach, who made one of the most head-scratching decisions of all time late in the game. We'll be covering that decision in today's newsletter, plus we also have my picks for Week 2 and Prisco's Power Atlanta Braves Jersey Rankings, so we should probably get to the rundown. As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do is with them. 1. Today's show: Recapping the ' shocking win in Ru sell Wilson's return to SeattleThe only thing crazier than the Seahawks' wild win over the was the podcast we put out afterward. I joined Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson, and we spent roughly 45 minutes going over every aspect of this game. We probably could have spent three hours talking about the game, but we didn't want to overdo it. With that in mind, here are three key things from the game that we touched on:Nathaniel Hackett made an inexplicable decision at the end of the game.I'm not sure if a coach can be on the hot seat after just one career game, but Hackett is definitely testing that po sibility after the way he handled things in the final minute on Monday night. With the Broncos trailing 17-16 and facing a fourth-and-5 from Seattle's 46-yard line, Hackett had two options: Go for it or attempt a 64-yard field goal. The obvious choice would seem to be to give Ru sell Wilson a chance to win the game, but Hackett didn't do the obvious thing. Instead, he sent his kicker out for a virtually impo sible field goal (In all of NFL history, kickers are just 2-for-41 on attempts from 64 yards or longer). The decision backfired after McManus' kick mi sed, and now, Hackett will be dealing with people second-gue sing his decision this week and po sibly for the rest of time. If you want to see a clip of the field goal, . The other problem with the field goal is that Hackett let the clock run down from 1:01 to 20 seconds before calling a timeout prior to the kick. There was plenty of time for Wilson to make something happen if Wilson converted a fourth down, but Hackett decided he wanted to try a field goal. Hackett's NFL debut as a head coach could not have gone any worse. Broncos fumbled away their chance at winning.Although everyone is questioning Hackett today, the fact of the matter is that the game probably wouldn't have come down to a field goal if not for two huge fumbles by the Broncos. Not only did lose a fumble on a fourth-and-goal play from Seattle's 1-yard line during the third quarter, but later in the game, ALSO lost a fumble on a play from Seattle's 1-yard line. If you're wondering how rare it is for that to happen, the Broncos were the first team since 1987 to lose two fumbles at the 1-yard line in the same game. was unstoppable.One reason the Seahawks were able to pull off the upset is due to the play of Geno Smith. The Seahawks QB came out of the gate on fire, completing his first 13 pa ses for 101 yards. That total includes a wild first-quarter TD pa s where he was able to hit for a 38-yard score after escaping pre sure (You ). Overall, Geno finished 23 of 28 for 195 yards and two touchdowns.Ru sell Wilson did everything but win the game. This lo s had to be tough on Ru sell Wilson, who actually looked Terry Pendleton Jersey pretty good on Monday night. In his first game as the Broncos starter, Wilson threw for 340 yards and a touchdown. It's not Wilson's fault that his running backs can't hold on to the ball and it's not his fault that his new coach has no idea how to handle a late-game situation. Wilson did enough to help the Broncos win, but they didn't end up pulling it out in the end.We talked about those three things, plus everything else you could po sibly want to know about Monday's game, if you want to listen to the rest of our recap, .

Breech's Week 2 picks: pull off another upsetIf it's Tuesday, that can only mean one thing: It's Tyler Flowers Jersey time for my weekly picks.If this is your first season with us, here's how the formula works around here: I stay up until an insane hour every Monday night so that I can give you my picks every Tuesday morning. This newsletter will feature three of my picks and then if you feel like reading the rest of them, you . Last week, I went 9-6-1 with my picks and I would have gone 11-4-1 if didn't make a 58-yard field goal and if the Broncos didn't fumble every time they got to the 1-yard line against the Seahawks. I called a few upsets last week, including the Vikings over the , which I'm only mentioning because I will be predicting the Vikings to pull off another upset again this week.With that in mind, here are three of my picks for Week 2: (-4) at (1 p.m. ET, CBS):I have no idea how it happened, but the Colts have lost seven straight games in Jacksonville and the streak doesn't make sense because the Colts have been the better team in almost every single one of those games. I mean, we all saw what happened in the season finale last year: The Colts mi sed the playoffs because they lost in Jacksonville. I thought the Colts would struggle in Week 1 because it would take a second to Jorge Soler Jersey get comfortable in the offense, but he now looks comfortable, so I'm taking the Colts.PICK:Colts 27-20 over JaguarsBengals (-7) at Cowboys (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS):The Cowboys couldn't score with Dak Prescott under center, so I'm not sure how they're going to produce points with him out. Unle s has another five-turnover game, this just feels like a blowout waiting to happen. The Bengals are 0-1, so they're not going to overlook the Cowboys here. The Bengals are going to put their foot on the gas on offense and I have a hard time seeing the Cowboys keep up with at quarterback. PICK: Bengals 31-17 over Cowboys. Minnesota (+1.5) at Philadelphia (Monday, 8:30 p.m. ET, ABC):I can't pick the Eagles here because this is Week 2 and they burn me every year in Week 2. I'm not even kidding. The Eagles are somehow 0-5 both straight up and against the spread in Week 2 over the past five years. Maybe they should start asking to get their bye in Week 2.PICK:Vikings 23-20 over Eagles. 4. One thing we learned about each team in Week 1Now that all 16 games from Week 1 have been played, Jeff Kerr decided to wade through the aftermath to figure out what we learned about each team.Here's a look at what we learned about five teams:Falcons: New Falcons are same as the old Falcons.Ravens: can pa s.Bills: was the difference-maker that Buffalo needed. : De'Andre Swift has the Lions ground game looking dangerous.Chiefs: The offense seems to work fine without .If you want to see the one thing we learned about all 32 teams, you . 5.
