Hustlers Week 6 grades: 2-1, and one cover I had no business getting

Season moves to 7-5. These are a week late, and I didn't post Week 7 picks. Saying it out loud, same as Week 3.

Panthers +1.5 at Eagles: WIN

Final: Panthers 25, Eagles 14

The whole pick was "Hurts doesn't play." He didn't. Tanner McKee got sacked three times, Bryce Young threw for 281 and two scores, and Chuba ran for 120. The quarterback check paid off on this one.

Falcons +3.5 vs Bears: LOSS

Final: Bears 31, Falcons 23

I said Caleb would be rusty. He threw for 305. Chicago sacked Penix five times, which is the exact thing I said would kill it. No excuses on this one.

Steelers -3 at Buccaneers: WIN

Final: Steelers 26, Buccaneers 19 (OT)

Pittsburgh was down 16-3 going into the fourth. The rookie threw two late picks, Ramsey sacked him on fourth down in overtime, and the Steelers won by exactly a touchdown. That's a cover. It's not a good read. I'll count it and keep my mouth shut.
