Steelers-Patriots picks and best bets for ‘TNF,’ plus we unveil our first MVP rankings with a surprise on top

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.
