The Prophet's Picks

The Browns have never met the Chiefs in January, EVER and Baker Mayfield will do all he can to help his team win as the AFC's 6th seed against the 1 seeded Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday afternoon. The Browns are the Browns as Steelers receiver Ju Ju Smith-Shuster so eloquently put it a week ago. And we're expecting that in this 3rd divisional round game. Patrick MaHomes II & the Chiefs, are the C...

The Buffalo Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens this Saturday night for the first time in postseason history. With 5 seed attached to their name Baltimore is a carbon copy of the 2019 9-7 Tennessee Titans team that upset a 14-2 Ravens team a year ago this weekend. Now the Bills with their 1st AFC East division title in 25 years & postseason victory is 14-3 & can be compared to those 2019 Baltimor...

Aaron Rodgers and the number 1 seeded Green Bay Packers will host the 6th seeded upstart Los Angeles Rams on Saturday in the first game of the NFL divisional round. The Rams defeated their NFC West rival in Seattle last weekend in the super wild card round 30-20 with a championship defense. The Rams defense is 1st in points allowed per game in the NFL'S defensive ranking category. The Packers offe...

Show #356, season 2 of The Prophet's Picks Football Podcast begins with the thought of College football coach Nick Saban being the greatest college coach of all time. I'll also touch on Alabama's 7th National Championship title last night just a little. After a little College Football Championship talking, I transition to a review of the 1st round of the 2021 tournament, also known as the playoffs...

So the 6th seeded Cleveland Browns did what everyone said they couldn't do last night. Steelers wide receiver Ju-Ju Smith-Shuster said it as well four days before the game. Welp, Cleveland DID do it & Cleveland rocks! The 3rd seeded Pittsburgh Steelers, 2020 AFC North Champions will be home for the remainder of the 2021 tournament just like the 2020 AFC South Champs, Titans, the NFC West Champs Se...

With the 7th seed Chicago Bears there really wasn't a chance to win against the 2nd seeded NFC South Champion New Orleans Saints. As a matter of fact the Bears were already out of the tournament before even playing on the field against the Saints on yesterday afternoon. The biggest underdog of week 18 the Bears only mustered 9 total points against the Saints. Drew Brees did his job as he almost al...

Once again in the NFL the seed number by your team's win loss record & name means absolutely nothing in the playoffs. And even though the Baltimore Ravens where chosen by many (me included) to get revenge against the 4th seeded Tennessee Titans on yesterday, it didn't start out easy for the 5th seeded Ravens. What was apparent was this, when ever Baltimore plays Tennessee is Nashville the Ravens w...

As expected the 4th seeded Washington Football Team was unable to overcome the greatness of Tom Brady and the 5th seeded Buccaneers. You can even argue the point that the Buccaneers should be the 4th seed, leaving Washington with the 5th, 6th, or 7th seed. It's an arguably point but now mute as the 2020 NFC East Champs will sit home for the remaining rounds of this tournament and figure out how to...

The 6th seeded Los Angeles Rams went right into the 2020 NFC West champs house on Saturday afternoon and won big. Defeating the 2nd seed Seahawks 30-20. There's one thing to remember always about the NFL, whether it's a postseason game or a regular season game. The 1 thing that holds the truth is defense and a rushing attack travels. If you have these 2 attributes on your team you'll have a huge i...

As the AFC's 7th seed today the Indianapolis Colts lost to the the AFC's 2nd seed in Buffalo, Orchard Park New York. Final score Buf. 27 Ind. 24, Philip Rivers did all he could to win earlier today against the Buffalo Bills. But the NOW 14-3 BILLS proved to be way too much for the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts fall to 11-6 & Buffalo will host a postseason game next Saturday at home in the NFL's Di...

The 6th seeded Cleveland Browns are back in Pittsburgh who's the AFC North division champs with the 3rd seed. Cleveland defeated a Steelers team in week 17 24-22 that saw many of the Steelers starters sit out in preparation of this wild card game against 1 of their hated rivals. The AFC North has 3 teams in this year's tournament. Baltimore 11-5 like the Browns and the the Steelers are 12-4. Brown...

With the New Orleans Mercedes Benz Superdome being a current haunted facility for the 2nd seed Saints in recent playoff history against NFC North teams. Can they break a unnoticed curse? The 8th seed Chicago Bears are 2-0 vs. the Saints in the postseason as well. Those games where in 1991 and 2007 as well as played on Sunday's in January. The Packers defeated the Saints in the regular season in pr...

The 5th seed Ravens are in Nashville Tennessee this Sunday to face the 4th seed AFC South champion Titans. Baltimore has won 5 games in a row on they're way to the 2021 tournament. The Titans have won 3 of their last 5 games to obtain the number 4 seed and the division title. Problem is whenever the Titans play the Ravens in their home stadium the Titans normally lose and vise versa. Can the Titan...

The Civil War was a fight and war of terror, racism and hate from the inside of the U.S. It was a war fought for years for the rights to keep blacks enslaved by the slave owners below the Mason Dixon Line of this great country. Above the line was President Lincoln as he abolished slavery and stood behind the Union Army. September 11th, 2001 was a foreign attack upon this county, Pearl Harbor was a...

Tom Brady will begin his pursuit of his 7th Super Bowl ring. Alex Smith will start at quarterback for the Washington Football Team, so will 4 year veteran Taylor Heinickie. As reported by the mainstream media and Washington head coach. Both of the...

The Houston Texans are facing some very murky, dark, uncharted waters this coming offseason in 2021. Houston needs a new head coach and the General Manager that was hired (Nick Caserio) wasn't on the Texans short list either. With that being said Texans super star quarterback Deshaun Watson is not happy with how things went in 2020 and sent a cryptic tweet statement after the new GM was hired. Sta...

The third meeting in last 2 months between the Rams and Seahawks of the NFC West. Seattle won on Dec. 27th, 2020 and the Rams won at home on Nov. 11th, 2020. Who'll win this third matchup between these NFC west juggernauts. The Rams have the number defense in the NFL in points allowed per game and the Seahawks offense is ranked 8th in points scored per game. Can the Rams defense carry them all the...

As we transition from the 2020 NFL regular season to the 2021 new year and new NFL season in the tournament all 32 teams are in a form of transition in way, shape or form. The New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Chargers, and the Houston Texans are all looking for a new head coach to lead their franchises and a general manager to manage the players and...

The Colts are 11-5 going into the Wild Card round of 2021 NFL Tournament. They're facing the AFC #2 seed in the Buffalo Bills 13-3. Buffalo won 9 of their last 10 games and currently on a 6 game win streak. Indianapolis has won 4 games straight as well but this is the postseason. The hits are harder, the mistakes are magnified 10x's over and the big plays are that much bigger than they were a week...

Well that's all she wrote as P.F.T. & I (T.P.P.) both went 14-2 in week 17. Pro Football Talks'Mike Florio finished with a 79-44 record after 8 weeks (wk 10-17) & I just topped him with a record of 82-41.

The final Sunday Night Football game of the 2020 season ended on the 1st Sunday night of the new year last night. Philadelphia Eagles lost as I predicted but the Eagles didn't lose HOW I predicted they would. In a bizarre twist of events Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts was pulled from the game late for 2019 backup to Foles, Nate Sudfeld. The 6-7 quarterback laid an egg, literally fumbling al...

Looking to improve on my overall 2020 record of 158-81-1, I'll have 16 opportunities do to so in week 17. Looking to also improve on my record in predictions against P.F.T 65-42 since week 10 when I declared war (peacefully though). I'm 68-39 in this battle. In primetime games alone I'm 29-22, eerily enough I ended my 1st year with a this record with 1 primetime game remaining this Sunday.

A detailed review of the NFL tournament in January 2021. From teams fighting for a postseason berth after this week 17 (Jan. 3rd) a total of 16 divisional games, to scenarios, seeding, predicted postseason winners and the predicted Super Bowl LV & shockingly even the Super Bowl LVI champion (Feb. 2022). There's always a first time for everything and on the last day of the year we have a first for...

In the last primetime prediction show of the 2020 NFL season. This game is for the NFC East Division. Washington is hoping that they've gotten rid of any and all distractions in order to be 100% laser focused on the Philadelphia Eagles. 6-9 are the Football Team and Philly at 4-10-1, is done! No postseason for them, however if the Eagles win in upset fashion and get their revenge from an opening d...

At 8-7 the Arizona Cardinals are on the brink of being eliminated from the 2021 tournament. Kyler Murray will start at quarterback when 24 to 48 hours ago he was ruled OUT. The Rams 9-6 have to win against Kyler Murray 'N' company to have any chance of being in the 2021 tournament. Alot of teams playing for something meaningful which is a postseason game & while the Rams won't have Jared Goff at q...
