The Prophet's Picks

The 83rd meeting between Atlanta & San Francisco takes place this Sunday night in Santa Clara California. Michael Penix Jr. & his dirty birds fly west to face Mac Jones & his 49ers in a prime time battle that could be either a key victory or a key loss for one of these former NFC West foes. Atlanta dismantled Josh Allen & his Bills to end week VI while the 49ers lost in more ways than one in their week VI contest in Tampa Bay. This game is on NBC, of course!

The 112th meeting of all time ended in a colossal thud for the Pittsburgh Steelers last night as Joe Flacco & his Cincinnati Bengals had a good old fashioned wild, wild, west shoot out. The former Super Bowl Champ quarterbacks Rodgers & Flacco combined for 64 points, 591 yards, & 5 touchdown passes with Rodgers tossing the 2 picks. MY prediction was Pittsburgh winning 27-24; it was a final of Cincinnati winning at home 30-31 & boy was it one the Bengals needed desperately. I'm 0-1 to start week VII & on TNF I'm 4-3, OUCH & I'm 56-37-1.

Jordan Love & his Green Bay Packers travel south, southwest to the desert to take on Jacoby Brissett & his Arizona Cardinals in the 80th meeting of all time. This series tends to be power packed over the years as The Packers are coming off a week VI win vs. the Bengals while, the Cardinals return home after a road loss in week VI against the Colts. Cardinals franchise q.b. K. Murray is out again with a foot injury. Both teams have good defenses & the NFC North leading Packers will need to win to stay on top in the North, especially if CHI., MIN., & DET. wins their week VII games. Game is on FOX @ 4:25 pm EST.

The Washington Commanders take on the Dallas Cowboys for 131st time this Sunday @ 4:25 pm EST. The first meeting of the season for these hated rivals in the NFC East. This is the 3rd of only 3 "divisional games" in week VII. Dak Prescott & his Boys want to bounce back from their week VI road loss in a big way. Jayden "Sensational" Daniels & his Commanders lost their week VI home prime time game to end week VI. With both teams coming off losses & both teams needing a win desperately, the sparks will fly. Game is on FOX.

The Indianapolis Colts are the biggest surprise in my eyes this season as they lead the AFC South with a record of 5-1. The Los Angeles Chargers are 4-2 looking to win in the 32nd meeting of all time in this series. Daniel Jones & his Colts are the biggest surprise this season, still a very, very, very, long ways to go. The Colts will be in Inglewood Calif. to play in SOFI Stadium for the second time this season. The Colts lost to the RAMS in week IV or V & now Justin Herbert & his BOLTS look to do the same thing to Indianapolis that the OTHER Los Angeles team did, win, both teams won in their week VI contest. This game is on CBS.

Super Bowl rematch alert!!!!! Super Bowl REMATCH WARNING: As the 15th meeting ever between the N.Y. Giants & the Denver Broncos happen at 4:05 pm est. this Sunday! Rookie q.b. Jaxson Dart, Skattebo & their Giants take on Bo Nix & his Broncos in the mile high city. The Giants are coming off an upset win in prime time vs. the Eagles to begin week VI action, while the Broncos are returning from across the pond winning in London vs the Jets last week. Super Bowl XXI was a loss for John Elway & the Broncos franchise, a win for Bill Parcels, PHIL SIMMS & the Giants franchise, game is on CBS.

Patrick Mahomes II & his Chiefs will host Geno Smith & his Raiders for an AFC West showdown this Sunday. The Las Vegas Raiders victory over the Titans in week VI opened the door to the dismissal of Brian Callahan earlier this week. The Chiefs worked their way back to .500 in week VI winning their game as they will now work on regaining control of the AFC West, or will they? This is the 133rd meeting in this series & the second divisional game of week VII. Game is on CBS.

In the 32nd meeting of all time between the Philadelphia Eagles & the Minnesota Vikings, we'll have a clash of the titan's style game! Jalen Hurts II & his Eagles look to get back to their winning ways after their embarrassing road loss to division rival N.Y.G. to start last week slate of games in prime time. The Vikings were on their BYE in week VI, which gave them time to recover, rejuvenate, & replenish for the final 12 weeks of the season. In week VII for Minnesota will it be #11 Carson Wentz: The Red Head Wonder or will it be the young gunner, J.J. McCarthy? Game is on FOX.

The 35th meeting between the New Orleans Saints & the Chicago Bears will pit Saints q.b. Spencer Rattler against Bears q.b. Caleb Williams, well statistically anyway. The Saints lost their week VI game & the Bears won their week VI game in dramatic fashion to end week VI on MNF. The game will be on FOX.

The chickens are coming home to ROOST in the immortal words of Malcome X! Patriots head coach Mike Vrable MADE the Tennessee Titans, honorable, respected, feared, & KNOWN as they once had the #1 seed in the playoffs with the Dolphins throw away quarterback. Years later the wisdom of Vrabel wasn't heard. Not the Titans face their former leader as his 4-2 New England Patriots come to Nashville this Sunday to face Cam Ward & his Titans. This is the most interesting meeting of all time between New England & Tennesse, the most memorable one, the 47th one. Game is on CBS.
