The Prophet's Picks

Bryce Toung & the defending NFC South champion Carolina Panthers found themselves in a bit of a pickle at home last week as their defense allowed 59 points to Caleb "The Phenom" Williams & his Bears. Cooper Rush was the guy on the road in the steel city for the Falcons & just like The Saints, Buccaneers & Panthers, the Falcons found many ways to lose. These teams have never seen each other in January & the Atlanta Falcons lead this series, 37-25 (all regular season.)

Tyler "Chucking IT" Shough almost pulled off the upset on the road in Detroit last week in overtime. But they fell short. Lamar "Action" Jackson & his Baltimore Ravens went to Indianapolis & dominated the Colts like none other. In order for the Saints & Shough to have a repeat of last week they have to play mistake free football which is a tall ask this early in the young gunslinger's career. The Baltimore Ravens lead this series, 6-2 (all regular season.)

Jordan Love & his Green Bay Packers are on the road for the second weekend in a row. They face Geno Smith & his New York Jets in the 15th meeting ever. The Packers lost their week one game in their division on the road in Minneapolis. The Jets were on the road last week as well & defeated the Titans in Nashville.

Can Love & his teammates get their first win of the season on the road & overall or will Smith & his Jets take off with a 2-0 record to start the new season? In 14 contests the New York Jets lead this series, 9-5 (all regular season.)

Week II begins in the Atlantic northeastern time zone as The New England Patriots seek their first victory of the young season against Aaron Rodgers & his Pittsburgh Steelers. Drake Maye & his Patriots loss in the week I prime time opener & he contributed to that loss with three interceptions thrown against the Seahawks defense. Pittsburgh seeks their second win of the year & if they do win it'll be their first road win of the year. This is New Englands home opener.

This is the 37th meeting of all time between The Steelers of Pittsburgh & The Patriots of Foxborough Massachusetts. A series in which The New England Patriots lead, 19-17, overall postseason included. 16-15 lead in the regular season & 4-1 in the postseason.

"The Buffalo Bills opened up their brand new stadium last night with 31-41 win against The Detroit Lions. Wow, what a night, wow what a game, wow the NFL season is fo'show back in so many ways for sure. Josh Allen & his offense exploded for 27 points in the first half while his re-vamped defense held Jared Goff & his explosive offense to a scoreless first quarter & only 10 points in the first half."

"The Bills are suddenly looking like that so called "team of destiny" & the question is can they keep this scoring average of 36 points per game up for 16 more weeks plus the tournament next Januaryto reach & win the Super Bowl in Inglewood California?"

With Nix returning from an ankle injury that required surgery & The Chiefs supoerstar q.b. Patrick MaHomes II returning from knee surgery hisself, should be an evenly matched first meeting of the season, or will it!?"

"The 129th meeting of all time between the Giants & The Cowboys was a serious one, the weekend of the 25th anniiversary of 9/11-2001 was prevalent & The Giants did last night, what they did week 2 of the 2001 season which wasn't played until 2 weeks after 9/11, they won!"

"Yes, I chose the Cowboys to win 24-17 & I was wrong to start out on Sunday Nights as the Giants won 20-28." "J. Dart was amazing, the Giants defense look pretty good for a week one game & The "HARBAUGH EFFECT" was in fulol swing." "I'm now 1-2 in primetime predictions this season as 1 prime time game remains (DEN. @ K.C.)." "8-4 on yesterday (8-6) overall in week I predictions!"
