Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!After watching only one game of the NFL season, I have decided that the are definitely the best team and that we don't even need to play any more games. Just give them the Lombardi Trophy now, and we don't even have to give them a new one, just give them the one the won last season.In one of the most impre sive opening game performances of the past few years, the Bills destroyed the Rams 31-10 in a game that probably could have been 52-10 if the Bills didn't turn the ball over three times. That's right, the Bills had three turnovers and still won by three touchdowns. Although we now have one game down, we still have 15 more to go in Week 1 and we'll be giving our picks on those games in today's newsletter. Plus, we'll rehash Buffalo's win and we're even going to vote on which team is going to end up with the worst record (Spoiler: It definitely will not be the Bills).As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do iswith them. Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: Recapping the Bills' wild win over the RamsThe NFL has been holding a Thursday night opener Sebastian Joseph-Day Jersey since 2002 and this game might have given us the most surprising result of any opener over the past 20 years. The only thing more surprising than the result of the game was how good our podcast was afterward.For today's episode, we recapped the Bills' 31-10 blowout win over the Rams. If you mi sed the game, here's a quick rehash of what happened and what we talked about on the podcast: eviscerates the Rams.If Josh Allen plays the entire season like he did on Thursday night, then they should just go ahead and give him the MVP now. The Bills quarterback completed his first 10 pa ses and only got better from there. Not only did Allen throw for 297 yards, but he also threw three touchdown pa ses, including a 53-yarder to . Allen, who went 26 of 31, also had the highest completion percentage (83. Jacob Harris Jersey 8%) of his career in a regular season game (Allen did throw two picks, but both of those hit his receiver before being intercepted). The Bills quarterback also steamrolled the Rams on the ground, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. One of those rushes included a stiff arm of , . Allen and the Bills were so good on offense that Buffalo didn't punt a single time on Thursday. gets revenge.The Bills defense needed some pa s rushing help going into 2022, so they went out and signed Von Miller to a monstrous contract and that investment paid off handsomely on Thursday night. Miller terrorized his former team as he racked up two of Buffalo's seven sacks in the game. Thanks to Miller, the Bills were able to sack without blitzing, which threw the Rams offense out of whack.Rams offense looked out of sync. The Rams had to replace several key players from their Super Bowl winning team (Odell Beckham, and ) and so far, things aren't going so well. The Rams brought in , who basically was non-existent on Thursday night with just one catch for 12 yards. The lo s of Whitworth (left tackle from last season) and Corbett (right guard) was also huge as the Rams got absolutely dominated up front. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times, which is the most sacks he's ever taken in a single game with the Rams (Last season, the most sacks he took in a game was five). Due to the constant pre sure, Stafford ended up throwing three interceptions and the Rams only finished with 243 offensive yards, which was their lowest total since adding Stafford prior to the 2021 season. The only Rams offensive player who looked like he knew what he was doing was , who finished with 13 catches for 128 yards and a TD.The Bills went after . The Rams corner is one of the best in the NFL, which means that teams will sometimes try to avoid throwing his way, but not the Bills. Not only did Josh Allen attack Ramsey, but he had a lot of succe s. Of the 31 pa ses that Allen threw, seven of those were targeted at Ramsey and with those throws, Allen went 6 of 7 for 124 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams better hope this happened because the Bills are awesome and not because Ramsey has taken a step back, because if it's that second thing, the Rams secondary could be in for a long season.If you want Ben Skowronek Jersey to listen to the rest of the mailbag,. You can . 2. Today's show Part II: Best bets for Week 1The best part about Friday -- besides the fact that it's Friday -- is that you get two episodes of the podcast in your feed. After the recap of the Thursday game, Brinson politely asked me and Ryan Wilson to leave so that he could bring in Pete Prisco and R.J. White for a discu sion about their best bets for Week 1.Actually, Brinson didn't politely ask us to leave, he disconnected our Zoom call and then blocked us from ever calling him again.Anyway, the guys spent nearly 60 minutes going over the best bets for every single game being played in Week 1 and we're going to cover three from each guy below.

NFL Week 1 picksThis is the final newsletter of the week, which means I feel morally obligated to cram as many picks J.J. Koski Jersey as po sible into this space.

For . 4. Five teams that could surprise everyone in 2022Last season gave us one of the biggest surprises in NFL history when the followed up a 4-11-1 season in 2020 with a SUPER BOWL season in 2021.

Which NFL team will have the worst record in 2022?We've spent a lot of time over the past few weeks trying to predict who's going to win the Super Bowl, so we thought we'd go the opposite route today and try to figure out who's going to finish with the worst record in the NFL. To do that, we rounded up three of our draft writers -- Ryan Wilson, Josh Edwards and Chris Trapa so -- and let them make their prediction.Here's who they predict will end up with the No. 1 overall pick: Wilson: .Edwards: Seahawks.Trapa so: Falcons.The three guys also took a gue s at who the No. 1 overall pick might be in 2023 and if you want to see what they had to say,. 6.
