The Prophet's Picks

Game will be played in Glendale Arizona @ State Farm Stadium (home of the Rams rivals, Arizona Cardinals) due to the FIRES in Los Angeles county California.

Wild-Card week XIX finale's on the four letter network this Monday night in Los Angeles California. The Rams are home with Matthew Stafford and his young, hungry Rams defense. The Vikings are a dangerous 14-3 road team. But how dangerous are they? Really? Their defense finished top 10, 5th in points allowed. How far can they go? To New Orleans maybe? I doubt it but crazier things have happened!

We're talking about Jayden "Sensational" Daniels & his Commanders commanding a possible upset in The Tampa Bay St. Petersburgh area. Jayden Daniels dominated as a rookie & Baker Mayfield may be a Darkhorse for MVP of the year. And come back player possibly? Who knows, this is a SNF primetime game and I'm 13-5 on Sunday nights!

The undeniable disbelief in the post season begins this Sunday when Jordan Love & his Packers blowout the Eagles as Jalen Hurts II will still show early signs of still being concussed. The Packers are a lethal weapon and they don't care about being the road team they yearn off of that. The Pack is back maybe? The Bears upset the Packers in week XVIII and I think that's their main motivation to dominate. K.C. G.B. anybody?

The rookie enigma, Bo Nix and his Broncos will battle Josh Allen the Apex predator & his Buffalo Bills. The Bills lost their season finale', while the Broncos decimated the B-Team of the Chiefs. Denver is arguably the most dangerous team in the AFC. This game has the potential to be an EPIC come back from behind blowout win the Bills!

Russell Wilson & his Steelers are in Baltimore for their overall third meeting on the year. The Ravens got hot late and that heat on their feet took them to the top of their division over the Steelers. Lamar "Action" Jackson is having an MVP year while Wilson is having kind of a comeback year! Pittsburgh lost their season finale, while the Ravens dominated in theirs scoring 35 points total.

The Tournament is in week IX & it starts with Justin Herbert & his Chargers visiting the Texans & C.J. Stroud. This game is sure to be a shootout but it could also end with a close game. Houston won the south for the second consecutive year. The Chargers in the postseason in HC John Harbaugh first year. Both teams won their week XVIII meetings as well.

Congrats to the Detroit Lions as the road to N.O. (SB LIX) rolls through the north, literally & figuratively as the Lions finished 15-2 with a 9-31 final in the Sunday night football finale'. Jared Goff and his Lions will now wait patiently for their first opponent in two weekends, as the Lions have the #1 seed for this years tourney. My prediction was Detroit winning at home Sun. night 30-42 & the Vikings couldn't get anything going what so ever. My final SNF record is 13-5 & in primetime overall on the year I'm 38-21.

Joe burrow & his Bengals were victorious in the season finale' against their rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers. I was right as well, I chose the Bengals winning 30-28 & the final was Cincy 19, Steel-City 17. Pittsburgh slides into the tourney with a 3 game losing streak and the Steelers will face Baltimore for the third time this season. I'm now 2-0 on Saturday nights to end the regular season & 7-0 on Saturday's overall. 183-88 overall at the end of this NFL regular season.

Will the Minnesota Vikings upset the Detroit Lions in the DEN? This is the SNF finale' for the 2024 season, this also a battle between two teams with a combined record of 28-4! Both teams won in week XVII to improve to 14-2. Sam Darnold without a doubt a first round Q.B., so is Jared Goff for the Lions. This is the epic 127th meeting in this match-up. Both teams seeking the number seed on the NFC side of the tourney bracket.

Podcast # 302 to finish my predictions in 2024. Show #303 is the battle for the NFC North SNF show. Geno Smith and his Seahawks need help to make the tourney and they MUST win vs. the Rams this first Sunday of 2025. Matthew Stafford and his Rams are young, tough, mature, & looking to gain postseason experience on top of being NFC West Champs. Can the Seahawks win in an upset? Even if they do they need help to enter the tourney. The Seahawks won in Chicago to end TNF & The Rams won in week XVII action at home in prime time. This is the 55th game in this series.
