Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a new era of the Pick Six newsletter. It's going to be a lot like the old era, except that I (John Breech) am now in charge of getting this thing to your inbox every morning. I'll be honest, I've never actually been in put charge of anything, unle s you count the one time I ran my family's "Dancing with the Stars" gambling pool. And you know what, let's count that "Dancing with the Stars" thing because it's gambling and gambling is something we're going to talk about a lot here. We're also going to talk about a lot of other things, like how the might po sibly have the worst defense in history, how the somehow keep managing to blow double-digit leads and whether or not Will Brinson wears a toupee. I mean, I've worked with Brinson for nearly a decade and I still don't know the answer, but now that I'm running this newsletter, I'm feeling compelled to finally get to the bottom of it.You might be wondering why they put me in charge of this and the best I can tell, it's because I'm the only one on staff who likes both news and letters. Pretty much makes me a natural to write a newsletter. My plan for this newsletter was to personally handwrite it for each subscriber and mail it to them, but my bo ses have informed Greg Olsen Jersey me that probably wouldn't be an effective use of my time. As such, this will be coming to you via email, and if you like reading this, please tell all your friends to subscribe. All you .Alright, let's get this newsletter off the ground with everything you need to know today.1. Today's Show: might be good, the NFC East is notIt's Monday, which can only mean one thing: I stayed up until 2 a.m. last night recording a podcast with Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson that touched on everything you need to know about Week 4 (And when Carolina Panthers Pet Gear I say everything, I literally mean everything. Monday's Week 4 podcast was nearly two hours long. I recommend listening to it in chunks. Do one hour before breakfast, tell five friends to listen to it , then listen to the second hour with lunch). For our Week 4 podcast, we did something we almost never do, which is talk about the Cleveland Browns. For the most part, the Browns season is usually over by the time we get through Week 4, BUT NOT THIS YEAR. The Browns actually looked like a playoff contender during their 49-38 win over the Cowboys. scored a total of three touchdowns in Dallas, which I'm only mentioning because that means he scored as many touchdown in one game as the have scored all season.As for you Browns fans out there, I have a fun fact for you and it pretty much means that Cleveland is destined to go the this year: The Cowboys have only surrendered 49 or more points at home a total of three times in franchise history. The other two teams that did it before Cleveland both went to the Super Bowl (2004 and 2013 ), so obviously the Browns are going to the Super Bowl.On the other hand, maybe the Browns only beat the Cowboys because the Cowboys are in the NFC East and every team in that division is horrible. During the podcast, Wilson, Brinson and I debated which team is the best in the division right now and it was like debating whether you'd rather be stung by a murder hornet, eaten by a bear or attacked by a lion. Although we agreed to disagree for the most part, we all agreed that the Giants are the worst. 2. Winners and losers of Week 4One thing we do every Carolina Panthers Jersey Monday in our podcast is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday's action. For Brinson, the choice was obvious. As one of the top-three most hated people in Chicago, Brinson made the his loser for the week and the choice definitely made sense. The Bears offense looked worse than normal on Sunday, which is saying a lot, because the Bears offense was never that good to begin with.For Wilson, his loser was the Detroit Lions, who somehow blew a double-digit lead again. If you've lost track of how many times the Lions have done that or just didn't know because you don't pay attention to the Lions, their last six lo ses have come in games where they blew a double-digit lead, which is an NFL record.For me, my big loser was the Dallas Cowboys, who surrendered more than 500 yards of offense to the Cleveland Browns. I never thought we'd live in a world where the Browns would put up 500 yards of offense, but it happened and it happened because the Cowboys have po sibly the worst defense in the NFL. The Cowboys were my preseason Super Bowl pick in the NFC and I am regretting that more by the day. To check out who our winners were, be . If you want to skip straight to us talking about our winners and losers, just head to the one hour and 42-minute mark in the episode. 3. Monday, Part 1: Prepping you for Patriots-Chiefs on CBS and CBS All-Acce sThe only thing better than one Monday night game is TWO Monday night games and that's exactly what we'll be getting tonight, and the best part is that one of those games is on CBS, AKA the best television network in the universe (One thing you'll notice about these newsletters is that I like to suck up to the bo ses at least once a month).The and were supposed to play on Sunday, but then , so the game had to be moved J.J. Jansen Jersey to 7:05 p.m. ET Monday. With Newton out, the oddsmakers basically gave up on the Patriots, moving them from a 7-point underdog with Newton to a 10.5-point underdog without Newton. With Cam out, the Patriots will be rolling with as their starter. Besides Newton, the Patriots will also be without , who was ruled out on Monday. This game marks only the fifth time in Bill Belichick's 20-year career with the Patriots that his team has been an underdog of 10 points or more, and um, let's just say you might not want to bet against them. In the previous four games, the Patriots went 4-0 Jake Delhomme Jersey straight-up and against the spread. To see who our CBSSports.com NFL experts . For a more in-depth look at Patriots-Chiefs, be .If you won't be around a television tonight, you can watch this game online if you have CBS All Acce s. To find out how to stream the game using All Acce s, .4. Monday, Part II: Prepping you for Falcons-PackersThe best part of two Monday games is that the Patriots-Chiefs game should be ending just in time for you to turn it over to ESPN to witne s the ' weekly meltdown. I mean, if you've seen one Falcons game, you've seen them all. There's a good chance Atlanta will take a 25-point lead in this game only to somehow blow it in the fourth quarter. The have the highest-scoring offense in the NFL, but they'll be mi sing one of their biggest weapons tonight in . Even though the Packers can put up points quickly, the Falcons might actually be able to stick with Green Bay if this game turns into a shootout and in his weekly Monday preview, our Jared Dubin explains why. Basically, it comes down to the fact that the Falcons have averaged nearly 30 points and 419 yards per game, and they've done that despite the fact that their best player ( ) has been hobbled f
