The Prophet's Picks

Lamar Jackson & his Ravens are coming off their week XIV BYE to return to action. Drew Lock & his Giants (for now), are hosting the Ravens in the 1:00 window in week XV. The Ravens lost to the Eagles in week XIII before their BYE & the G-Men lost in week XIV to the Saints. This is the 9th meeting ever in this series. It's also a rematch of S.B. XXXV back in Jan. 2001.

Week XV kicks off this Thursday night with the only divisional game in the NFL. Matthew Stafford and his Rams visit Brock Purdy and his 49ers. Both teams won their week XIV contests at home. San Francisco is at the bottom the NFC West, while the Rams sit in second place behind Seattle. This is the overall 152nd meeting in this rivalry & the second & final meeting of the season.

Thanks to Cowboys player who shall remain nameless touching the football after Nick Vigil blocked the punt from the Bengals last night I'm now safely 9-8 on MNF. I went 3-0 in prime time in week XIV. My prediction was Cincinnati winning 42-24 & the actual final was Bengals winning 27-20. I'm now 27-19 in all prime time games on the year & 135-73 over all on the season. Week XIV is in record books, as eventful as it was & now it's time for the final four weeks of the season starting with week XV.

Wow, the Kansas City Chiefs won again last night, they're also the AFC West Champions for the 9th consecutive season. My prediction for last nights game was the Chiefs winning 19-22. The actual final score was the same as the final score after the Chiefs Black Fridays win, 17-19. I'm now 10-4 in my SNF predictions. I went 7-3 on Sunday & I'm 2-0 in prime time predictions in week XIV with one prime time game remaining. Currently in prime time alone I'm 26-19.

Detroit made it interesting last night against their rival in that 191st meeting, but win they did none the less. 31-34 was the final as time expired a field goal was converted thus giving the Lions their 12th win of the season. My prediction was Detroit winning 17-19. The Detroit Lions have now swept the Green Bay Packers in the 2024 season and also handed the Pack their 4th lost of the year. Four games remain for both teams, 2 of those 4 are in the division. (NFC North)

The Dallas Cowboys welcome in Joe Burrow & his Bengals in prime time this Monday! Cooper Rush & the Boys won on Turkey Day against the Giants. Cincinnati lost their week XIII game at home vs. their division rival Pittsburgh, and the offense is white hot & very angry. Looking to make a statement in Arlington Texas against the Boys on MNF in the 15th meeting of this series.

Sunday night week XIV will be electric as Justin Herbert & his Chargers will be in Kansas City for the 2nd & final meeting of the season against Patrick Mahomes & his Chiefs. K.C. defeated the Chargers earlier this season 17-10. This is the 130th meeting in this rivalry & both teams won their week XIII contests respectively.

70th meeting of all time in this cross division rivalry as Caleb Williams and his Bears take on Brock Purdy and his reeling San Francisco 49ers. In week XIII the 49ers & Bears lost on special days/nights. The 49ers were embarrassed on the road in Buffalo, while the Bears lost on Thanksgiving Day against division rival Detroit. A return to the post season for San Francisco continues to look slimmer & slimmer.

Josh Allen and his Bills won their week XIII game as well as the AFC East crown for the fifth consecutive season. They on the road in week XIV to face Matthew Stafford and his Rams in the overall 15th meeting in this series. Los Angeles is coming off a road win in the Big Easy their selves in week XIII. Los Angeles is fighting for either the NFC West crown or a wildcard spot in next months tournament.

Geno Smith and his Seahawks already defeated Kyler Murray and his Cardinals once this season. This is the 2nd and final meeting of the year and the 52nd meeting of all time. Arizona is coming off of a loss in week XIV while the Seahawks won. Both of these teams were on the road in week XIII.
