The Prophet's Picks

Geno Smith & his Seahawks are still in the hunt for the NFL tournament. But they'll have to go thru Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears to obtain their 9th win on the season. The Bears and Seahawks have faced off a total of 20 times (post-season included). Chicago lost their week XVI game to division rival Detroit, while Smith and the Seahawks lost to the Vikings. The Bears stand in the Seahawks way of what they want & need.

Lamar "Action" Jackson and his Ravens take their show on the road Christmas Day to face C.J. Stroud and his Texans for the second & FINAL Christmas Day NFL game. This will be the 15th meeting of all time (post-season included). Houston lost to Kansas City last Saturday while the Ravens defeated the Steelers in week XVI action.

Patrick Mahomes II & his Chiefs are white hot & on a roll to the playoffs & the #1 seed for the tournament. Kansa City won at home in week XV last Saturday against C.J. Stroud and his Texans. Russell Wilson had a subpar game against the Ravens last Saturday resulting in a loss and a tie in the AFC North division with Baltimore at 10-5. It'll be Mahomes vs. Wilson in this Christmas Day matchup. The 39th meeting ever between the Chiefs of the Midwest & the Steelers of Southwest Pennsylvania.

Joran Love and his Packers earned a playoff berth with their blowout win against the abysmal N.O. Saints 0-34 in Green Bay Wisconsin. My prediction was G.B. winning 22-32. I at least gave N.O. 22 points & they failed miserably. New Orleans is now 5-10 on the year and the Packers are 11-4 with two games remaining. (MIN. & CHI.). The Packers are ready to go on the road in the tournament and are arguably the most dangerous team in the playoff tree on the NFC side of the bracket.

The Dallas Cowboys wouldn't go quietly into the night against Baker Mayfield & the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. My prediction was Tampa Bay winning 30-27, but the Cowboys proved that their Head Coach is doing his job & doing it well obviously. Dallas won 24-26 even though they were eliminated from post-season contention because of their overall record and the outcome of the Eagles-Commanders game. I'm now 11-5 on SNF & 31-21 in prime time with one prime time game remaining in week XVI (N.O. @ G.B.).

Wow what a game last night between the AFC West rivals Broncos & Chargers!!!!! I chose the Bolts to win at home 14-17. I also expected a shootout but whoa, whoa! The actual final was 27-34 Chargers winning explosively. I start out week XVI which continues tomorrow at noon central. I'm now 9-7 on TNF, and finally I'm 31-20 in primetime! Enjoy the rest of NFL's week XVI!!!

New Orleans & Derek Carr has had a rough season & it gets darker this week XVI. They go to Green Bay to take on a baby domination defense and Jordan Love with his young air force! The Packers won in prime time (SNF) week XV & the Saints lost at home by one point. This is the 29th meeting in the series. I'm 11-8 on MNF and I KNOW there's something in the air this Monday night!!!

Baker Mayfield and his Buccs stroll on into Arlington Texas this Sunday night to dominate Cooper Rush & the Cowboys on levels unseen before on SNF. Both Dallas & Tampa Bay won their week XV contests by double digits. Dallas scored 30 in a win against Carolina while Tampa Bay put up 40 on the Chargers defense. This is 23rd meeting of all time in this series!

Former number 1st round draft pick for the Patriots: Mac Jones continues his rebirth tour through the NFL this Sunday as he & the Jaguars battle the weak but semi-surging Las Vegas Raiders! The Jaguars & Raiders lost their week XV contests. This will be the 11th meeting in the history of the NFL.

Drake Maye and his Patriots will visit Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills for the 1st time this season. The Bills where involved in another shootout for the second week straight against possibly the two NFC Championship game participants in Jan. (LAR & DET). The Patriots are coming off a road loss in Arizona last week. This will be the 130th Meeting of all time in NFL History.
