Ranking NFL wild-card playoff contenders, plus NFC North overtakes Prisco’s Power Rankings and Week 13 picks

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! 

If you’re getting together with your family for Thanksgiving this week and you plan on playing games against them, I hope you live by the words of Jim Harbaugh.  

“I’d lay down my life for my brother, but I would not let him win a football game.” 

Those words came from Jim before facing his brother John on Monday night. I have three brothers, and my goal in life is to never let them beat me at anything, so I know exactly how Jim feels. 

The problem for Jim is that he ended up losing to John with the Ravens topping the Chargers, 30-23. In today’s newsletter, we’ll be grading both teams, plus we’ll be making some early Week 13 picks and unveiling Prisco’s latest power rankings. 

Oh, and I should note that the rest of this week is going to be a little different around here. We won’t have a newsletter on Thursday (Thanksgiving), so the next time you’ll hear from me after today will be on Friday. Cody Benjamin, who regularly handles the Wednesday newsletter, will once again be manning things tomorrow so that I can get an early start on my Thanksgiving wine drinking. 

As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends and neighbors to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here.
