Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are experiencing quite different 2020 seasons in their first year apart from each other.

Eagles-Giants TNF Recap: Daniel Jones stumbles as Carson Wentz leads comeback for first place (Football 10/23)
Well, we have a new leader in the NFC East. It wasn't pretty (in fact it was beyond ugly), but the Eagles emerged victorious over the Giants on Thursday Night Football to claim the division lead. To break down the matchup, Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Cody Benjamin (1:00). In the loss, Daniel Jones became a meme as the G-Men coughed up a late lead, largely in part to a crucial Evan Engram drop. Carson Wentz and Philly then took advantage to complete the comeback. But after that escape, are we confident that the Eagles are actually the best team in the division? Quarterback is always the focus, but is it time to admit there are coaching concerns as well? On the other side, how much blame does Daniel Jones deserve seems to always be the pressing question in New York. He's not getting much help, but he also causes his own problems when he's not tripping over himself. After the game recap, the guys chat about the Vikings dealing Yannick Ngakoue to the Ravens (31:45). The future looks bleak in Minnesota and there could be more changes on the way. Inevitably, the conversation circles back to Wentz to wrap the pod.'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

TNF Preview: Giants-Eagles Gambling Picks, Props & DFS Advice (Football 10/22)
Well, Week 7 of Thursday Night Football could feature a future division winner. So we have that going for us. But Giants-Eagles also offers a prime opportunity to make some money. Will Brinson is joined by R.J. White to break down this NFC East matchup from a gambling perspective. Carson Wentz has struggled overall against the spread, but he can't lose on TNF. His head coach Doug Pederson has a pretty good track record on Thursdays as well. Will that hold tonight? The Eagles are banged up but there might be some value in player props. For the Giants, R.J. is expecting a good performance from Evan Engram.

Tua Tagovailoa named Dolphins starting QB, NFL Contenders/Pretenders (Football 10/20)
Surprise! The Dolphins have a new starting quarterback. Despite leading Miami to a respectable 3-3 start, Ryan Fitzpatrick has been replaced in favor of the 5th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Tua Tagovailoa. On this episode, Will Brinson is joined by Brady Quinn to break down the move (1:30). Why did the organization make this decision heading into their bye week? Can the Dolphins compete for the postseason with Tua at QB? The guys also discuss contenders and pretenders across the NFL, first focusing on AFC teams (16:30) followed by NFC teams (32:45). Should we believe in the Bills and Bears? Can the Titans and Steelers stack up with the Chiefs and Ravens? Who is for real in the NFC West?

Cardinals-Cowboys & Chiefs-Bills MNF Recaps: Dallas gets embarrassed, Josh Allen struggles again (Football 10/20)
Double the action, but definitely not double the fun for the Cowboys and Bills on Monday night. To break down 2 MNF games Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Jared Dubin. The guys start with the lowly Cowboys (1:00), who not only lost, but lost big. Dallas is broken, but how much of the blame should go towards Andy Dalton? Opinions range from the Red Rifle being THE problem to A problem to encouraged by his performance (you'll never guess who that came from). We'll also add that Ezekiel Elliott's fumbles and Mike McCarthy's mere presence did not help matters. On the other side, let's give the Cardinals some credit. Kyler Murray's statline didn't look great, but Arizona connected on some big plays and their defense came to play. Brinson, Wilson, Breech and Dubin then transition to talking about the earlier game featuring a heavy heavy dose of the run game from Kansas City (33:00). KC bounced back from a loss a week ago and eased all concerns after that performance against the Raiders. Meanwhile, Josh Allen disappointed for the second straight week in primetime. He's certainly not in the MVP conversation at the moment and Buffalo might no longer be favorites to win the AFC East.
