The Prophet's Picks

Once again the record of 8-6 has found it's way to me at week 11's end. I saw P.F.T. (Pro Football Talk) visionary Mike Florio picks of winners in week 11 & he faired 6-8 again this week. 2 weeks of consistent 8-6 for me & 6-8 for Florio. Let's see how Turkey day goes for us both and conclude this time next week for the week 12 comparisons. After 2 weeks vs. Florio the records are as follows. T.P....

Week 11 ended last night with a BANG for us predictors out here and for the Rams fans. It ended with a huge thud for Tom Brady, the Buccaneers and their fans. T.B. is now 7-4 & looking up at the Saints in the NFC South. At 8-2 Tampa is behind N.O. in both the win and loss column. A total of 3 games combined. 2 of those 8 Saints victories came against the Buccs. The Rams are now the 3rd team in the...

At 4:30p.m. Thanksgiving Day the Dallas Cowboys will welcome in a very familiar foe as the Washington Football Team looks to get away with a win against their rivals and steal their turkey too. The Football Team and Dallas have a 3-7 record. Together 6-14, nothing to brag about ever. As different as this 2020 season is compared to 2019, things in the NFC East division is exactly he same. None of t...

Turkey Day is by far my favorite if not 1 of favorite holidays and as we give thanks and get fat this coming Thursday afternoon we'll do it with the first of three Turkey Day Games. 12:30 pm kickoff time (11:30 for Detroit) the Texans will invade Detroit's lion den to conquer the Matthew Stafford as well. The Lions and Stafford have never been shutout or held scoreless with Stafford as the franchi...

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated their division rivals last night in Las Vegas Nevada. The Raiders couldn't stop Patrick MaHomes II and the Chiefs nor could they contain him. Snapping the Raiders 3 game winning streak by splitting the season series as well as helping me snap my 0-4 streak of incorrect primetime prediction picks. Only way to see the Raiders against the Chiefs again will be in the 20...

The first time I ever did the comparison with the big guy from Pro Football Talk and NBCSN tycoon Mike Florio was last week. Week 10, I was 8-6 with my picks to his 6-8. He should've trusted my Dolphins and I honestly should've trusted the Raiders. We'll see where we stand next week Tuesday once the MNF results show has been published. Good luck!

Kyler Murray hurt his right shoulder last night in the loss to division rival Seattle. Murray's right shoulder happens to be his throwing shoulder as well. The Seattle Seahawks defense held the offensively explosive Cardinals to only 21 points. The Seahawks stand atop of the 2020 NFC West Division with a 7-3 record. The Cardinals fall back to 3rd place once again in the division as they're now 6-4...

7-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will welcome the 6-3 Los Angeles Rams to Raymond James Stadium this Monday night at 8:15pm. The Rams defense is 2nd and the Buccaneers defense is 8th in defensive points allowed per game. Is this a tell tell sign of Buccaneer Rams postseason games past circa 1999, 2001? Jared Goff isn't the Rams quarterback of 2018 and Tom Brady is still Tom Brady, this is yet another game...

The Kansas City Chiefs will face their hated rivals this Sunday night or should I say 1 of their hated rivals. Or did I have it correct the first time? The Las Vegas Raiders won against the Chiefs in Kansas City earlier this year. 1 of their 6 victories in 2020. The Raiders also celebrated that win with a victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium!?!?! Derek Carr and friends are you kidding me!?!? Mind...

It's an interesting game to stay focused on when the teams competing in the contest have a combined 5 wins and 12 losses. But once again we must not complain about a game like this because once the season ends we'll be disappointed we don't have any type of competitions to view. The Cowboys are in Minneapolis Minnesota to face the Vikings and it won't be easy as fit thought 3 weeks ago before the...

Can the Green Bay Packers win on the road in Indianapolis against the NFL's 4th ranked Colts defense in points allowed per game? How will Aaron Rodgers fair on Sunday against this in what will be a late Sunday afternoon premiere game in the NFL. It's going to be a game for the ages if you ask me, regular season or post as Philip Rivers is playing like he did in 2018 instead of 2019. A year that en...

The New York Jets are way out of town this week as they prepare for a contest with the Los Angeles Chargers. Unfortunately not a premier matchup in the w-l category. But it's still an NFL with fans cheering at home for their favorite. N.y.j. 0-9 & L.A.C. 2-7. Sam Darnold may not return to New York after this and it's not all his doing. The Chargers Justin Herbert will be in Los Angeles for years t...

The Dolphins have shocked the NFL world in 2020 going 3-1 against the NFC West the most difficult division in the NFL arguably. Tua Tagaviloa sets his sights on the rest of the AFC now as the Phins are in the west this weekend against the Denver Broncos. The defense is as solid as the Phins but the inconsistency on the offensive side of the for the Broncos is the main issue. Can Drew Lock put it t...

Cam Newton is riding high after the Patriots won in primetime against the embattled RAVENS in week 10. The Patriots have returned to 2020 form after hitting a mid season road block. The Houston Texans have turned back the clock, waaaaay back as in 2004, '05, '06 abysmal Texans with their 2-7 record this year. With that said the Texans is still a NFL team and the Patriots don't have any room for er...

The Atlanta Falcons are swooping into the dome for a hated rivalry game against 'dem Saints. Brees is out indefinitely with broken ribs but Jameis Winston is still famous and he's shown he has learned under head coaching of Sean Peyton. Matt Ryan and the Falcons have a tall task ahead of them, with a 3-6 record they have no room for error or another digit to fall in the loss column. Their playoff...

The Eagles are who we thought they are in 2019 or 2020? Seems like a repeat year in the NFL East anyways. The Browns are progressing forward though as they're (6-3) this year. The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a loss in week 10 while the Browns are coming off a victory in week 10. Can Eagles Q.B. Carson Wentz string together a streak of wins that'll give him a late push for the MVP votes? Or...

The Steelers find themselves on top of the NFL world in the 2020 season. With that said even though Pittsburgh is 9-0 thru 10 weeks they're still rarely spoken about, there's little to NO hype about their season accomplishments as well as their play. And that's exactly how head coach Mike Tomlin and franchise quarterback Big Ben Roethlisberger likes it. Soaring under the radar even as an undefeate...

Alex Smith returned at quarterback last week with a furious fire totaling 390 yards through the air in a losing effort against Detroit. The NFC East continues to play against the AFC North in 2020 as the Cincinnati Bengals makes a visit to our nation's capital. Will rookie quarterback Joe Burrow best the Football Team's young, strong defense? Or will the savvy, resilient vet Alex Smith shred the B...

Ryan Tannehill was destroyed last week by the Colts defense. It doesn't get anything close to easier this Sunday in Baltimore against that 3-4, 5-1-6 defense of the Ravens. Lamar Jackson's night against the Patriots was no fun either, as both of these teams come off primetime losses on national television and both are 6-3 on the year. Look for Baltimore to show Tennessee this: we have not forgotte...

The Detroit Lions look to steal a victory from the Panthers and send their record to .325% 3-8. If the Lions win they would be .500% 5-5 & in the playoff hunt once again. Lurking quietly are those sneaky, tricky Lions. Teddy Bridgewater and the Panthers best be really cautious and extremely prepared.

Kyler Murray has the advantage over Russell Wilson this Thursday night in Seattle. The Cardinals battle the Seahawks for the 44th time ever. An up and comer at quarterback for Arizona vs. the former Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson. The Seahawks need this game in order to stay alive for the 2020 NFC West crown. Something that escaped their grasp the last 2 years. ('19 49ers, '18 Rams) Winning th...

In the first ever challenge between myself and NBCSN's, Pro Football Talk host and creator Mike Florio. I won out in our picks in the NFL week's 10 slate of games. Hopefully one day he'll notice that a war has been declared against him he wasn't aware of and gives this podcast show and it's creator (me, JCF) A HUGE shout out. T.P.P. 1 P.F.T. 0

98-48-1 on the 2020 NFL season with my predictions of the winners in each NFL game played every week. Through 10 weeks my primetime picks total dropped to 18-14 record. 0-3 in week 10 primetime picks. TNF, SNF, MNF I got all 3 primetime games wrong!!! In week 10 I went 8-6. I'll take 8-6 over 7-7, 6-8, any day of the week. Four teams were on a bye week in week 10 and four teams will be on a bye th...

Baltimore's visit to New England last night didn't end how Lamar Jackson and the Ravens wanted it to. Cam Newton and the Patriots defense shut Action Jackson down. With a 23-17 win against the Ravens the Patriots held the Ravens to no rushing touchdowns. With the elements playing a huge part in the outcome of last night's game as there was strong winds along with the rain on last night. The Patrio...

The 52nd meeting between the Colts & Titans last night went to the visitors from Indianapolis. Philip Rivers played lights out for the Colts as he's starting to look like the guy from 2018 season that played for the Chargers. Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill looked ok but it wasn't his fault his team went down 34-17 at home. The Titans special teams unit killed the other 2 phases of the Titans fo...
