The Prophet's Picks

Lamar Jackson & his Ravens host Russell Wilson & his Steelers. This is a continence of the previous chapter, the game PIT WON at home against earlier this season. Baltimore won their week XV game on the road against the Giants. The Steelers loss to their in state rival, Philadelphia. This is the 62nd meeting all time in this series.

C.J. Stroud and his Texans are on the road this SATURDAY to face the 2 time defending S.B. champs Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes II is battling a high ankle sprain and is "questionable" to play this Saturday. Both K.C. & HOU. won their week XV contests. 15th meeting of all time between the Texans and the Chiefs, two division champs in 2024!

The 131st meeting ever between these rivals. This is the second meeting of the season in this series & it may not be the last meeting as these teams appear to be on a final collision course in next months tournament. The Broncos won their game yesterday against the Colts & the Chargers lost their game against Mayfield and his Buccs. Denver lost to the Chargers in October. Both defenses are tied at #1 allowing on average 17.6 points per game after XV weeks of play.

I went 2-0 last night on MNF, now obtaining a prime time record of 30-20 on the year. I'm also 3-1 in prime time in week XV. The Falcons won last night 15-9 & my prediction was Atlanta winning over the Raiders 24-10. Atlanta isn't the "Dirty Birds" from the late 90's as of yet hence the title. The Falcons have a ways to go to compete with juggernauts Philly, Minny, Mo-town, G.B. & The Rams in the NFC. I'm now 147-76 on the year. Looking forward to week XVI now.

My prediction was Minnesota over Chicago 17-24 and the actual final was Vikings over the Bears 12-30. The Vikings swept the Bears in the 2024 season. Sam Darnold looked fantastic & the Vikings defense continued to dominate as expected. The Vikings are now tied with NFC North division leader Detroit with a record of 12-2. I'm now 10-8 on MNF & 29-20 in prime time overall.

My prediction was Green Bay winning 27-21 over the Seahawks last night & I was correct, fortunately for me. The actual final was G.B. 30-13. The Packers defense dominated the Seahawks even without their star corner back (Jaire Alexander). I'm now 28-20 in prime time & 11-4 on SNF. 1-1 in prime time in week XV with a colossal 2 games to be played tonight. Three weeks to go, three games for all 32 teams to go, as we head down the stretch.

This Rams team has the potential to go to the Super Bowl in New Orleans LA in Feb. 2025. Matthew Stafford looks as though he can play until he's 40 & So does Russell Wilson. I'm now 8-7 in TNF predictions!! Enjoy show 250 of the season!

Kirk Cousins and his Falcons are coming off an embarrassing loss in Minnesota in week XIV play. Atlanta will play against the Las Vegas Raiders in the second & final MNF game, to end week XV. Either Aiden O'Connell (12), or Desmond Ridder (10) will start for the Raiders in this 16th meeting of all time between the Raiders and the Falcons. Atlanta is fighting for the 4th seed & the division (NFC South). & the Raiders are simply playing the role of spoiler with only 2 wins & 11 losses as they have been eliminated from the annual tournament.

The second & final meeting of the season between these NFC North rivals. Sam Darnold and the Vikings won the first meeting of the season in Chicago, but it took the Vikings forcing overtime to do it with a field goal final of 30-27 F/OT. This time, rookie phenom Caleb Williams and his Bears look to get their revenge and shake up the tournament seeding in the first of two MNF games in week XV. This is the overall 128th meeting ever, between the Bears & the Vikings.

Jordan Love and his Packers have the floor this Sunday Night. Green Bay will be in Seattle to face Geno Smith and his Seahawks. Seattle won their week XIV contest while the Packers started week XIV in prime time losing to their rivals, the Detroit Lions (TNF). This is the 25th meeting of all time in this rivalry.
