Ranking NFL wild-card playoff contenders, plus Browns-Broncos grades and Prisco’s Week 14 Power Rankings

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! 

I never thought I’d say this, but the NFL should put the rest of the Browns’ games in prime time. The Browns have only played two prime-time games this year and both of them have been crazy. In Week 12, they shocked the Steelers in a Thursday night game, and then they followed that up by almost pulling off another shocker on Monday night.
