Hello football friends, and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! I know it's not easy to get fired up to watch an 0-2 team, but you better start getting excited about watching the Falcons tonight and that's mainly because we're going to be stuck watching them in primetime for the next three weeks. After tonight, the Falcons will be on Monday night in Week 4 against the Saints and Sunday night in Week 5 against the Ravens.
Maybe the NFL will show us some mercy and flex them out of the Sunday night game. With the Falcons at 0-2, we decided to rank every 0-2 team based on who should be the most worried heading into Week 3. Not only do we have that today, but we also have some picks and best bets for tonight's game .

The Falcons' QB situation has been a nightmare this year and they'll be hoping Penix can fix that. Atlanta hasn't won a game at Lambeau Field in 18 years, so it probably won't surprise you to hear that the Falcons (0-2) are a 5.5-point underdog to the Packers (1-1).
