Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
The Bengals and Cowboys might not be playoff contenders, but they still managed to give us a wild game on Monday night that included Homer Simpson throwing a touchdown pass to Bart. This is my way of telling you that I watched way more of “The Simpsons” alternate broadcast than I care to admit.

In today’s newsletter, we’ll be breaking down that play, plus handing out grades for the game. Oh, and since it’s Tuesday, we’ll also have Prisco’s latest Power Rankings and we’ll be ranking Super Bowl contenders.
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.
