Welcome to the Pick Six Newsletter!If you turned the Eagles-Cowboys game off at halftime last night so that you could get some sleep, I have some good news for you: You made the right decision. All you mi sed in the second half was the doing their best impre sion of the , and if you've watched the Jets play at all this season, then you know that's not a good thing.Of course, I don't even know why I'm talking about that game because the only thing anyone is talking about this week is 'S RETURN TO NEW ENGLAND. We'll be covering that in today's newsletter in addition to rehashing the 41-21 win for everyone who slept through the second half. Also, you'll be getting power rankings from Pete Prisco and some Week 4 picks from me, so you're definitely going to want to stick around. Let's get to the rundown.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 Nolan Ryan Jersey sign up, all you have to do is with them. 1. Today's show: Recapping the Cowboys' dominating win over the EaglesFor the first time all season, we got a dud in primetime and I have to say, I mostly blame the Eagles. (Before you say that Bears-Rams and Lions-Packers were also both duds, I will point out that both of those were one-score games in the second half, which made them watchable. This one was a blowout from the second quarter on.) Just because there's a blowout doesn't mean we get to skip the podcast, so we buckled down and recapped the Mike Scott Jersey game for Tuesday's episode of the podcast.Here are three key things from the game that we touched on:Dak is back.This game was first one in Dallas since breaking his ankle back in October, and he definitely didn't seem to be dealing with any PTSD. The Cowboys quarterback was nearly perfect in against Philly, completing 21 of 26 pa ses for 238 yards and three touchdowns. Prescott was so good that it opened things up for the Cowboys' rushing attack, which totaled 160 yards. Dan Quinn has worked a miracle.Last season, the Cowboys had arguably the worst defense in football. This year, they hired Dan Quinn, and now, they look like one of the best units in the league. The Cowboys' pa s rush gave fits with recording 1.5 of the Cowboys two sacks. also had a dominating performance, and if the first three weeks of the season are any indication, he'll be anchoring this unit for years to come. The defense basically iced the game in the third quarter when recorded a 58-yard pick-six off of a bad pa s from Hurts.Eagles looked lost on offense.It's almost like the Eagles forgot to install the rushing portion of their game plan for Monday's game, because their ground game was nonexistent. The Eagles' running backs only had a total of THREE carries in this game. Some teams will abandon their running game in a blowout, but the Eagles didn't even TRY to run, even when this game was close. This was a one-score game for the entire first quarter, and the Eagles didn't call a single run. With zero ground game, you're putting a lot of pre sure on your QB, and it was pre sure Hurts wasn't quite ready to handle Houston Astros Jersey just yet.We talked about those three things plus everything else you could po sibly want to know about Monday's game, so be sure to check it out. To listen to today's episode -- and to subscribe to the best daily NFL podcast out there -- . 2. Prisco's Power Rankings heading into Week 4When it comes to Pete Prisco's Power Rankings, there's some big news this week: For the first time this season, we have a new team at the top. The had been in the top slot ever since they won the Super Bowl back in February, but Prisco finally dropped them down after they lost to the on Sunday. Here's a look at Prisco's top 5 teams heading into Week 4, which includes his new No. 1 team. Overall, there are two new teams in the top 5 this week:RamsBuccaneersI'm not going to spoil the rest of the power rankings here, but I am going to give you a few nuggets. Here's what has changed since last week:After three weeks, Prisco is finally putting some respect on the ' name. Following their win over the on Sunday, Cincinnati made the biggest jump of any team this week, moving up eight spots from 25th to 17th. For the second straight week, the biggest tumble went to the Steelers, Dallas Keuchel Jersey who fell eight spots from 14th to 22nd. The drop by the Steelers means they've now fallen 15 spots over the past two weeks, which might be a record for Prisco's Power Rankings. I'll have to check with our power ranking historians before I can say that for a fact. (Note: I don't think we actually have any power ranking historians.) The biggest jump in the NFC this week went to the , who vaulted up eight spots following their big win over the . Prisco moved them up from 26th to 18th, and I'm gue sing they'll make another big leap if they can beat the in Week 4.In news that might surprise you, the are NOT ranked dead last anymore. Even though they lost by double-digits to the Cardinals in Week 3, Prisco was so unimpre sed with the Jets that he moved them to the last spot in his rankings. The Jags moved up to No. 31, which might be the highest spot they reach all season. If you want to know where your favorite team ended up in Prisco's . If you want to argue with Prisco over his rankings, you . I argue with him all the time about everything. 3. Breech's Week 4 picksIt's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for my weekly picks.I'm not saying you have to read them this week, but if they go anything like last week's picks, you're definitely going to want to. For Week 3, I went 12-4 straight up and 11-5 against the spread, and that record actually would have been better if I hadn't been dumb enough to take Washington over Buffalo. I'm never picking Washington to win another game.With that in mind, here are three of my picks for Week 4: (-6) at Eagles: This is a Yuli Gurriel Jersey nightmare game for the Eagles. Not only do they have to face Kansas City on a short week, but they're going to be facing an angry Chiefs team that's coming off two straight lo ses. has lost two games in a row twice in his career, and both times, he avoided a third straight lo s by winning in a blowout (35-3 and 30-6). Also, I think Andy Reid still hates the Eagles for firing him, so the Chiefs will have some added motivation this week.PICK:Chiefs 38-27 over Eagles.Cardinals at Rams (-6):I'm not sure what the biggest coaching mismatch is of Week 4, but this one might be on the list. Since Kliff Kingsbury took over as Arizona's coach in 2019, he's 0-4 against Sean McVay, and the Rams have won those four games by an average of 13.8 points per game. This game will probably be slightly closer than that, but not by much.PICK:Rams 30-23 over Cardinals.Jaguars at Bengals (-7.5):This is one those picks that I'
