NFL midseason Super Bowl predictions plu
Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!If you look at the , you will notice that the and are playing tonight, and although that doesn't sound overly exciting, let me just say that if this game is half as crazy as their first meeting, this could go down as the greatest Thursday night game of all-time. If you don't remember that first meeting, the Falcons won, 37-34, in overtime back in Week 8 in a game that had a Hail Mary by Carolina that should have won it, but the Panthers got flagged for taking off their helmet to celebrate the Hail Mary and their kicker mi sed the ensuing 48-yard extra point attempt. (He also mi sed a 32-yarder in overtime to win it.)We'll be previewing tonight's game and offering some picks, plus we'll be making our midseason predictions.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.If you're going to listen to just one episode of the Pick Six podcast every week, then you should definitely make sure that you're listening every Thursday, because that's when Brady Quinn joins the show. For today's episode, the former Mark McGwire Jersey first-round pick chatted with Will Brinson about a multitude of topics, including whether the should think about playing . The Packers could fall to 3-7 this week if they lose to the , and if that happens, Quinn thinks they should at least consider sending to the bench just so they can see what they have in Jordan Love."They have such a long road to get back into this just to be a wild-card team," Quinn said. "I do think you have to start contemplating, 'Maybe we need to look at Jordan Love. Just from a busine s standpoint, where are we going to be at with this guy after the season so we can make a decision on that fifth-year option.' I think there's some validity to that."Besides the Packers, Quinn also weighed in on the wristband debate that Pete Carroll started this week. Carroll , which seemed to be a subtle shot at , who refused to wear a wristband during his time in Seattle. If you want to hear what Quinn had to say on that -- and everything else the two guys talked about on today's podcast -- then . If you want to see his handsome face, then you can .For Marcus Semien Jersey the second time in 11 days, the Falcons and Panthers will be playing each other, and if there's any division rivalry that's almost oddly fun to watch, it's this one. The past five games between these two teams have all been decided by just one score, including Atlanta's 37-34 overtime win in Week 8 that was one of the craziest wins of the season by any team.My good buddy Jared Dubin wrote our deep-dive preview for this game here at CBSSports.com, and here's how he sees the game playing out: Why the Falcons can win:The Falcons will be going into this game with the 's fourth-best rushing offense (162.9 yards per game), and they'll be facing a Panthers defense that can't stop the run. Through the first nine weeks, Kendall Graveman Jersey the Panthers have given up 139.3 yards per game on the ground, which is the fifth-worst number in the NFL. When you add in the fact that will be on the field (he was out with an injury in the first meeting), it feels like the Falcons should be able to run the ball at will, and if they do that, they should be able to escape Carolina with a win.Why the Panthers can win:The Panthers have been one of the NFL's worst pa sing teams this year, but if they're going to win tonight, they're probably going to have to figure out how to jumpstart their pa sing game. The Falcons are giving up 300 yards per game through the air, which is the worst number in the NFL. In Week 8, the Panthers threw for 309 yards against the Falcons, a wildly high number considering they've only averaged 169 pa sing yards in their other eight games. The Panthers would definitely prefer to run, but it's hard to see them winning if doesn't produce through the air, and that won't be easy because the forecast tonight is calling for rain. If the Panthers can figure out how to throw the ball, this game could get interesting.You can get a full .If you're thinking about betting on the game, Tyler Sullivan put together a full gambling preview (odds via Caesars Sportsbook). You can , but if you don't feel like clicking over, here's one prop from both of us for tonight's game.ONE PROP TYLER LIKES: OVER 30.5 rushing yards (-119): ONE PROP I LIKE: Cordarrelle Patterson OVER 54.5 rushing yards (-119): Patterson mi sed the Week 8 game due to an injury, which means this is the first time this season he'll get to face the Panthers. Carolina is surrendering 139.3 rush yards per game, which is the fifth-worst number in the NFL. I expect Patterson to take full advantage of that by rushing for at least 55 yards.Finally, if you're wondering who we're picking, here's who we have tonight in a game where the Falcons are 2.5-point road favorites:Dubin's pick:Falcons 20-16 over Reggie Jackson Jersey PanthersSullivan's pick: Falcons 27-20 over PanthersMy pick:Falcons 30-23 over Panthers To find out who our experts are taking, be sure to check out our .It's been an ugly week for quarterback injuries, and if things don't change quickly, we could see multiple starters out Sunday.
