CBS Sports Football Pick Six Newsletter
 
Out of nowhere, the Falcons and Dolphins are winners, the Saints and Chiefs are losers, and the Steelers are a playoff team. Sean Wagner-McGough joins me and wonders why Andy Reid was going for FGs on so many fourth and shorts, John Breech brings fun facts (no AFC North QB is older than rookie Ryan Finley) and Ryan Wilson helps explain exactly what happened in a bizarre Week 10.
This was supposed to be a trap game, but instead, Lamar Jackson LITERALLY RAN CIRCLES around the Bengals. Jackson had four TDs, and the Ravens didn't even need him: their D outscored Cincy 14-13. John Breech graded every team's performance and gave the Ravens a perfect mark, and check out the AFC team that got an even worse grade than the Saints.
Well, well, well. It was just last month when the Steelers were sitting there with a 1-4 record and about to start Duck Hodges. Now? The Minkah Fitzpatrick trade looks genius, Pittsburgh has rolled off four straight wins, and if the season ended today it'd be IN the playoffs. I broke down the entire playoff picture; look at who's at the AFC's No. 7 and roll it around in your brain.

Teams are double-digit favorites almost every week in the NFL, but it's almost never the Raiders. It had only happened twice in the last 15 years, until oddsmakers hopped aboard the Jon Gruden bandwagon this week. John Breech broke down all the early Week 11 odds, and says this is what's been the easiest way to set fire to your money.
The Niners are the NFL's only remaining unbeaten team, but will that still be the case around midnight ET? Russell Wilson's the frontrunner for MVP and has the Seahawks at 7-2, so what will happen when he meets the NFL's No. 2 pass defense? Jared Dubin broke down all the matchups in one of the best MNF games of the year, and has a very interesting prediction.
Whether in life or in football, the truly bold are often rewarded. Jason La Canfora points out that many teams (Steelers, Ravens, Niners, the list goes on) are already reaping the benefits of making deals. JLC dives into the trade karma that's out there, and has more Week 10 notes, including an obvious solution to the Browns' identity crisis.
Is it time to give up on one of our early-round favorites? JuJu Smith-Schuster has six catches for 60 yards over his past two games combined, and currently ranks as the No. 34 WR in PPR. When it comes to sitting JuJu, though, Heath Cummings says DON'T BELIEVE IT, and Heath answers more burning questions, including a big one about Kyler Murray.
