Week 1 Overreactions: Jets will draft Trevor Lawrence, Cardinals best in the NFC West, Steelers best defense in football (Football 9/16)
Post Week 1 means an abundance of overreactions. But some of those might actually be fair. And on this episode, Brady Quinn joins Will Brinson to help sort it all out. Ben Roethlisberger outperformed Tom Brady and Drew Brees in Week 1, but will that continue throughout the season( (3:00)? Can Pittsburgh already lay claim to the best defense in the league? BQ offers detailed insight on the QB play of Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton and how they can replicate last week's performances. Will and Brady discuss the future for the Jets (29:30), the Browns continued woes (35:30), the Cardinals chances to win the division (40:15) and also if Washington!? can win the division (42:15).'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Titans-Broncos, Steelers-Giants Recaps: Gostkowski melts down then wins it, Big Ben returns (Football 9/15)
Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season is in the books and like usual, we had some peculiar moments in the annual Monday Night Football doubleheader. Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to break down the Titans 16-14 victory over the Broncos (3:00) and the Steelers 26-16 win over the Giants (23:00). A kicker was the story of the night, as Stephen Gostkowski continued Tennessee's kicking woes from last year, before nailing a game-winner late. Good thing we have kicking expert Breech to dissect. The coaching wasn't great. That we can agree on. But what should we make of the QB performances from Ryan Tannehill and Drew Lock? Then, the Pick Six Superfriends cover the first game which featured the return of Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben looked rusty to start but came around for an encouraging outing. The Pittsburgh defense was beyond encouraging, as expected. They limited both Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley in different ways and figure to be a force all year. After the break, Chris Long and Kyle Long join Brinson to recap some Week 1 action involving their former teams (40:30).

MNF Preview: Steelers vs. Giants, Titans vs. Broncos Gambling Picks & DFS Advice (Football 9/14)
Will Brinson is joined by Tyler Sullivan to preview the first two Monday Night Football games of the 2020 season. The guys give gambling and fantasy advice for both Steelers-Giants (3:00) and Titans-Broncos (21:30). Ben Roethlisberger is making a return to the field after playing just 2 weeks last season. Will his presence be enough to lay nearly a touchdown with road-favorite Pittsburgh? Meanwhile, the Broncos have been a 'hot' team this offseason, but they're dealing with some injuries and going up against a team that made the AFC Championship in January. What side to you want to be on to close out Week 1? Will and Tyler offer game picks plus player props and DFS lineups to target!

Chiefs-Texans Opener Recap: Fantastic debut for Clyde Edwards-Helaire (Football 9/11)
The first game of the 2020 season is in the books with the same team that won the final game of 2019, emerging victorious. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech break down the Chiefs 34-20 victory over the Texans in the opener. The final score doesn't truly showcase how dominant the champs were on Thursday night. And it wasn't your typical performance from Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes was very good as usual, but it was diminutive rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire that stole the show. On the opposite end, David Johnson looked a bit rejuvenated but Houston was still clearly missing the big-play threat of DeAndre Hopkins. How did Bill O'Brien manage to screw this one up? The Pick Six Superfriends break down all angles of the game on this recap episode!'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

NFL Kickoff Preview: Texans-Chiefs Gambling Picks & DFS Advice (Football 9/10)
Football is here! Will Brinson is joined by R.J. White to preview the first game of the 2020 NFL season from a gambling and fantasy perspective. The Chiefs are 9.5-point favorites vs the Texans with the total sitting at 54.5. Is that too many points to be laying, even as the defending champs? How will the lack of preseason football impact the over/under? Will and R.J. share their thoughts and then zero in on player props they like. Finally, advice for DFS...Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson are the obvious "captain" picks, but our guys give out some sleepers as well.Follow the Pick Six team on Twitter: @picksixpod, @willbrinson, @rjwhite1Visit the Pick Six YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/picksixCheck out the Pick Six Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/picksixpod/?hl=enJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/758548147935545/For more NFL coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
