Where Tom Brady might land in 2023 plus

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six Newsletter!I hope you like hearing about Tom Brady, because I have a feeling that's all we're going to hear about for the next three months now that he's out of the playoffs following Tampa Bay's lo s to the Cowboys on Monday night.Will he retire? Will he change teams? Will he quit football and hang out with Gronk full-time? No one seems to have any idea at this point, so expect the Brady speculation to get crazy over the next month or two.Before we get started here, I'd like to congratulate the NFC East. Two years ago, you were Kirby Puckett Jersey the worst division in football, but now, you've got THREE teams heading to the divisional round. This marks the first time an NFL division has sent three teams to the second round since 1997 when the NFC Central did it. It also means the NFC East is the first division to pull this off since the NFL realigned the divisions in 2002.Alright, we've got a lot to cover today, so 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 sign up, all you have to do is with them. If we learned one thing Monday, it's that it might be time for Tom Brady to retire. For the first time in his career, the Buccaneers quarterback looked overmatched and old on a night where his team got beaten down 31-14 by the Cowboys. The win by Dallas was the team's first ROAD playoff win since the 1992 season, which ended with a Super Bowl win.After the game, Ryan Kent Hrbek Jersey Wilson, Will Brinson and I spent nearly one hour talking about the Cowboys' blowout win and I have to say: Unlike the Buccaneers, we did not have our worst performance of the season.Here are three topics we touched on during the podcastak Prescott has a historical night. One of the biggest questions surrounding the Cowboys heading into the postseason revolved around Dak Prescott and whether he could carry them to the promised land, and it seems the answer might be yes. Prescott played what was easily his best game of the year. After throwing three straight incompletions to start the game, Prescott proceeded to complete 25 of his next 30 for 305 yards and FOUR touchdowns. Prescott also added a rushing TD, which made him the first QB in Cowboys history -- and -- to throw four touchdowns and rush for another one in a playoff game. After leading the NFL in interceptions in 2022, it seemed like Prescott might still be having i sues with his surgically repaired thumb, but he finally seemed to put those i sues behind him on Monday night.Tom Brady looks old. If this was Brady's last game with the Buccaneers, it's definitely not one that he's going to remember fondly. The Buccaneer offense was non-existent for the better part of three quarters before Brady was able to lead them to two garbage-time touchdowns in the second half. The first half was especially ugly: The Buccaneers didn't get a first down until their third po se sion, a po se sion that ended with Brady throwing the first AND ONLY red zone interception he's ever thrown during his three years in Tampa Bay. The pick came on a play from the Cowboys' five-yard line and Dallas would score a TD on the ensuing po se sion, and after that, it felt like the game was over. Brady ended up throwing 66 pa ses, which was the second Anibal Sanchez Jersey -highest single-game total in NFL postseason history, but in the end, that just wasn't enough for the Bucs. Cowboys kicker has a meltdown.If there's one thing that should definitely be concerning the Cowboys today, it's the mental state of kicker Brett Maher, who suffered one of the worst meltdowns by a kicker in NFL history. Maher made just ONE of FIVE extra points in the game, which made him the first kicker in the 103-year history of the NFL to mi s four extra points in a game. Things got so bad that Mike McCarthy decided to go for it on fourth down instead of attempting a 36-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. McCarthy , which will create a kicking mismatch of sorts. The 49ers have Robbie Gould, who holds the NFL record for most postseason kicks without a mi s (25) while the Cowboys will be rolling out a kicker who somehow whiffed on four different extra-point attempts in Tampa.To listen to today's episode -- and to subscribe to the best daily NFL podcast out there -- . You can . For just the second time in his career, Tom Brady, who turns 46 in August, is set to be a free agent his offseason. Right now it's hard to predict what he's going to do, but we've decided to do that anyway. Cody Benjamin took a look around the NFL to try to come up with some Bert Blyleven Jersey landing spots that would make the most sense for the seven-time Super Bowl winner.Let's take a look at Cody's list.Tom Brady landing spots1. Dolphins. 2. Raiders.3. Titans. 4. Patriots. Cody listed seven different teams as a po sibility for Brady next season, and you .It's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for my weekly picks.Although the Buccaneers choked in the playoffs, I definitely didn't. I went 5-1 with my picks during Super Wild Card Weekend, but I won't brag about that too much, because two of my colleagues went 6-0 (Shout-out to Pete Prisco and Dave Richard). Last week, I took two underdogs to win (Jaguars and Giants) and this week, I'm getting a little crazier: I'm taking THREE underdogs. With that in mind, here are my picks for the divisional round.(1) Chiefs 31-24 over (4) Jaguars.If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that you never pick against Andy Reid when his team is coming off a bye. In his 24-year coaching career, Reid is 28-5 coming off a bye, including playoff games. If you only include the games where Reid has had Patrick Mahomes, then he's actually even better. Mahomes has a career record of 9-1 off the bye and the Chiefs Kennys Vargas Jersey have averaged 30.1 points in those 10 games.LINE: Chiefs (-8.5)(6) Giants 23-20 over (1) Eagles.The Eagles are a huge favorite, but I'm not sure if I can trust them right now due mainly to the fact that I watched them play three straight bad games to end the season. The Eagles struggled with the Giants' backups in Week 18 and I think they're going to have even more problems with New York's starters in this game.LINE: Eagles (-7.5)(3) Bengals 27-24 over (2) Bills.The Bengals are 0-3 this year when Joe Burrow gets sacked five or more times, but 13-1 when he's sacked fewer than five times, so this game feels like it's going to come down to whether the Bengals' patchwork offensive line can protect Burrow. The Bengals QB is 6-0 all time in the month of January and I can't bring myself to pick against perfection.LINE: Bills (-5)(5) Cowboys 34-31 over (2) 49ers.Only four rookie qua
