The Prophet's Picks

Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers had an involuntary BYE WEEK in Week 4 due to their opponent for Week 4 having a scary 6 to 7 days of covid-19 outbreaks. For 6 days there was positive tests so this entire incident becomes a future trivia question during a future NFL broadcast game. The Eagles will try to win on the road for the 2nd straight week, as they destroyed the 49ers in Califo...

Jared Goff and the Rams of Los Angeles head back to this side of the country for the 2nd time in 3 weeks to face the Washington Football Team. Dwayne Haskins Jr. has been asked to take a seat as the starting quarterback for awhile so Kyle Allen who started at quarterback for Ron Rivera and the Panthers last year gets the nod at Q.B. this Sunday in our nation's capital. Rams are marked for a "trap...

So now that former Heisman trophy winner Joe Burrow has his 1st NFL victory how will he fair against a 3rd ranked Ravens defense in points allowed. The Bengals could get 20 points this Sunday but 17 may be all that they can score. Lamar Jackson is still heavily in charge of the Ravens offense. Even with some knee pain he'll still get the nod at dismantling the Bengals defense this Sunday.

Tomorrow night dawn's the Bears vs. Buccaneers with Tom Brady at quarterback for Tampa. Nick Foles beat Brady as an Eagle a few years ago in the Super Bowl and it was an offensive shootout like none other. Bottom line is this, when a quarterback that's not as decorated or skilled or experienced as Brady faces off against him. The competitor rises up in him. That guy tomorrow night will be Nick Fol...

Number 12 went to work last night like I knew he could, would, and should've done against my competitive less Atlanta Falcons. It's been a long road since losing the Super Bowl in overtime a few years back after a 28-3 lead. Sad, sad, sad existence for us Falcons and Dolphins fans right now. On the other hand I was correct as I picked the Packers to win 41-15. Aaron and the Pack didn't get the 41...

Even with Cam Newton the Patriots would've lost last night's game against the Chiefs in my estimations but I've been wrong before ofcourse. K.C. played a sloppy game last night themselves but both teams were honestly at a huge disadvantage playing on Monday Night making history while doing so, as this game was originally scheduled for Sunday at 4:25pm est. I'm now 10-4 in my primetime picks, thank...

A quick run down of all the latest news from week 4 rolling into week 5 of the 2020 Pandemic season.

I didn't think Carson Wentz would do enough to win in San Francisco last night. I was wrong and instead of having 1 primetime game remaining tonight (MNF) there's going to be a MNF double header. The Chiefs host the Patriots on CBS @ 7:05pm because Cam Newton (N.E. Patriots quarterback) tested positive for covid-19 over or before the weekend. So now I'm 2-2 with my SNF picks. 2-2, now .500 is good...

Well if you haven't heard by now then here it is, tomorrow's meeting between the Patriots & Chiefs game at 4:25pm on CBS is POSTPONED until this Monday or Tuesday. The question is what time will the NFL kickoff this game? Personally I hope the start of this game isn't at 5pm, I will be on the road at the end of a work shift then and also will the game still be televised nationally like it would've...

No reason for the Titans/Steelers game to be postponed for tomorrow, but it is because earlier this week 3 Titans players tested positive for Covid-19. As of today they're a total of 5 players and an unknown amount of Titans personnel who have tested positive for the virus. Minnesota was the last team Tennessee played so their facilities were shut down as well. Pittsburgh is the main entity affect...

Matt Ryan isn't Aaron Rodgers obviously. But what Ryan and the Falcons are in 2020 is good enough to put up huge points each week. The Falcons defense also allows too many points which always leads to defeats. The Packers have their own defensive woes as Green Bay can't stop the run against any NFL team. Just like last season and it's an enigma to me how G.B. is 3-0 & Atlanta is 0-3 with basically...

Sunday Night football has a pooper game on tomorrow night. But it's still NFL football on t.v. right? Under the lights so we're going to watch it and be entertained fans or not. Even though it's still weird, Carson Wentz and the Eagles have flown west to take on the 2019 NFC Champions San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are beat hurt severely but their team even with 3rd and 4th stringers are still abl...

Cam Newton will go against Patrick MaHomes II this Sunday in the 4:25pm window. Or more obvious the Patriots with their 2 victories will face the Chiefs and their perfect record. And the Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl Champs. Even though we all know how good the Chiefs are and how great Chiefs Q.B. Mahomes is becoming, "defending Super Bowl Champs" attached to the name Chiefs still sounds fun...

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are ready for action and quite frankly "primetime" as they enter week 4 with a 3-0 record against Derek Carr and a stumbling Raiders football team that had a tough go at it in New England last Sunday. It's safe to safe the silver and black isn't back just yet, especially after the whole "no maks" during a charity event on Monday Night. With the dace of the franchis...

Jared Goff and the Rams lost on the road in Buffalo last week and Daniel Jones and his Giants lost horribly at home against the Rams rivals the 49ers. With no real rushing attack for the G-Men how will their team respond? The Rams have new uniforms, a new billion dollar stadium as well as new starters on the field on both sides of the ball. If you needed a week to bounce back against any team what...

Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings are winless in 2020, DeShaun Watson and his Texans are winless too. Something neither of these 2019 playoff teams thought would be a reality in week 1 this year. Unfortunately it is, injuries, a pandemic and unconditioned players have lead to both these franchises 5th matchup all time stinking it up on Sunday at 1:00pm. So it's probably best they're in a laun...

Matthew Stafford will lead his Detroit Lions in this 27th meeting against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at 1:00pm est. 12 noon Detroit time. No fans means this, the Saints can roll up into Ford field and dominate the Lions. And knowing Detroit like I do that's almost a given. Only issue I have is this though, Drew Brees has shown for the third week in a row that he's not the hist...

Dak Prescott and his Dallas Cowboys have played some amazing football this season, being held to 17pts only once in primetime against the Rams. The Cleveland Browns are who we thought they were so far, explosive offense, two great running backs with a defensive that's questionable giving up points. Can Baker Mayfield and the Browns win in big D Sunday afternoon in a fanless At&t Stadium? We'll see...

Philip Rivers and the Colts will battle the Bears in Chicago and former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles gets the start to keep the Bears winning in this 2020 Pandemic season. The Colts defensive is something fierce in points allowed per game so we'll see if the FINAL is a high or low score. I'm guessing a total of 35 points or less.

Matchup #23 between the Bengals and the Jaguars will happen this Sunday at 1pm in Cincinnati and it'll be interesting to see if Joe Burrow level of play can cause Garndner Minshew IIs' game to rise to the next level. Getting beat by an inferior Dolphins team with a journeyman quarterback never looks or feels good. So let's see if the Jags and get back to their winning ways Sunday afternoon.

Tom Brady......yes Tom Bray, Tom, Tom, Tom, will be almost the only name you hear or see when it comes to the Buccaneers in 2020. The Chargers are a situation right now and that is between better, worse, good or not certain? The Chargers believe they have their future at quarterback but do they really? They believe they have their defense restructured, focused and empowered but again do they? Tom...

The Dolphins will host a former AFC foe on Sunday in Miami's HEAT at 1pm. The Seattle Seahawks will be lucky to wear their road jerseys but for the Dolphins sake I'd force them to wear their dark home or dark road uniforms. "It's a SOUTH Florida thing" matchups are important in tue NFL or when ever wins the quarterback duel in this game will exhault their team to a victory this Sunday.

The Cardinals will face the Panthers again this season like they did last year. Only difference is the game will be played in Charlotte North Carolina instead of Phoenix Arizona. Kyler Murray will battle Teddy Bridgewater this Sunday in a 1pm game to do what Arizona couldn't in 2019 in Arizona and that's win.

In only the their 7th meeting all time Baltimore and Washington will battle and every win counts, either both teams will be 2-2 by 4:30pm this Sunday or Washington will be further away from their ultimate goal for this Pandemic season. These teams have much in common as both are in the same geographical location of our nation's capital. The "beltway series" continues on, by way of the NFL gridiron...

As I go to 8-3 in my primetime picks. I celebrate but so does Denver as they are victorious in their 38th meeting against the New York Jets. Thursday Night football is good to me this season thus far I pray it stays this way all season long. 1-0 to start Week 4 of this 2020 Pandemic season! Week 3 was tough as 5 losses and a WHOLE TIE was too much for me. Stay tuned for Week 4 picks podcast shows...
