Hello football fanatics, and welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
Not only are you halfway through the work week, but you’re just a day away from the start of the final week of the preseason. That’ll kick off tomorrow with a doubleheader featuring Colts-Bengals and Bears-Chiefs, which starts a four-day stretch of NFL action for us to digest.
