The Prophet's Picks

So Mr. Florio I've followed your website as well as your love for the game for almost 10 years now. I started my podcasting Picks career a lot later than you got yours dream and career up and running. This show is to pit your picks for week 10's winners in the NFL against MY picks for the winners in the NFL for week 10, we'll see where we stand next Tuesday afternoon!!!

Minnesota comes into this game with a 2 game win streak and an overall 3-5 record. Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is on fire and now he's up against a Bears defense that's at a Championship level! The main issue Chicago is having is their offense execute to the level of their defense. The Vikings and Bears have played a whopping 118 times. Bears swepted the Vikings in 2019 and their win streak a...

The Baltimore Ravens offense has been slowed down in many ways during this season. The new England Patriots have a veteran coach in Bill Belichick who's very familiar with stopping explosive offenses. Even though the Patriots defense was unsuccessful in stopping the Seahawks offense in primetime last month and the 49ers offense more recently. It doesn't mean the Patriots defense can't bring Lamar...

The Rams are 5-3 heading into this NFC West division matchup versus a 6-2 Seahawks team that's offensively unstoppable. The only problem with this is the Rams defense is looking to get back to form after an embarrassing loss to the Dolphins back in week 8. Both teams are coming off a loss and Seattle isn't defensive heavy like they were in head coaches' Pete Carroll's early years. Does Seattle pul...

Well the New Orleans Saints proved the doubters wrong in primetime last Sunday night and beat Brady's Buccs in Tampa Bay as the victory was a 2020 season sweep of their rival. Now the Saints host a beat up and bruised San Francisco 49ers team. Last year's affair ended in a wild dramatic fashion as the 49ers won 48-46! Will this years performance be the same? The Saints also have a few former 49ers...

Joe Burrow is the real deal as he's playing lights off football for the team that drafted him, the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers have Ben Roethlisberger at the helm once again. Roethlisberger is banged up, beat down, and literally are taped together because of injuries. These teams have met over 100 times now, the question for this 2020 season is this. Can the Bengals pull off yet another upset...

Kyler Murray lost against Tua Tagaviloa and the Dolphins last week. Now Murray and the Cardinals get ready to face Josh Allen and the Bills this Sunday in the late afternoon games. The AFC East will continue to battle the NFC West in 2020 and right now Buffalo has defeated the Rams, Seahawks and are looking to defeat Arizona Sunday. If this proves true Buffalo will have something they haven't had...

The Denver Broncos are underrated but as I wise man once said, "you are what your record says you are." And at 3-5 the Broncos will face a division rival Sunday as they'll battle the Raiders, look out for the Las Vegas Raiders to be the favorite to win with their 5-3 record but when 2 teams from the same division get together for a game the records are out the window along with the teams history b...

Very intriguing matchup between the 2020 Chargers and the 2020 Dolphins this Sunday @ 4:05 p.m. Rookie quarterbacks will face off as Justin Herbert leads Los Angeles and Tua Tagaviloa leads the Phins. Will this game be an offensive shootout or a defensive battle? Will Herbert crack under the pressure or will Tagaviloa? Hopefully Tagaviloa vs. Herbert will be our future version of "Brady vs. Mannin...

Aaron Rodgers is licking his chops ahead of this Sunday's game against the last place Jaguars. Jacksonville has the youngest defense in the NFL as well as the youngest team overall. The Jaguars secondary is young and Aaron Rodgers has been slanging the football down the field for 16 years so I'm sure he can't wait.

The Detroit Lions are having another disappointing season as they're 3-5 on the year. It's not going to get any better for them because this Sunday Washington's young and hungry defense is in town and their looking for a 3rd victory a mathematically the Football Team is still alive for the 2021 tournament.

The Houston Texans are having the year from Elm Street, but the team will continue to work their way to 6-6 as they sit at 2-6 right now. It won't be easy, Baker Mayfield and the Browns have an explosive offense but hopefully their last game back in week 8 against the Raiders which was a loss. Won't be the blueprint the Texans need to be victorious against Cleveland this Sunday.

The Eagles are coming off their bye week. They faced an NFC East rival in primetime winning against Dallas before that bye week & these New York Giants are coming off a win on the road in the division as well. New York is super pesky this season and have been in many of their 7 losses. Carson Wentz needs to get in that 2016 zone when he was an MVP candidate until he busted up his right knee. Ouch,...

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are coming off of an embarrassing loss in primetime at home against the Saints. Now they're on the road in week 10 to face another divisional opponent in the Carolina Panthers. With the Panthers coming off a road loss themselves they did hold their own for awhile against the defending S.B. Champs. Teddy Bridgewater will once again be without his A.C.E. all star do it a...

This week 10 Thursday Night matchup is going to be a good one, possibly the best of this 2020 season. The Colts with their win loss record 5-3 are right were they were this same time in 2019. Coming off of a demoralizing loss against that new Baltimore team. For Indy, Q.B. Philip Rivers was supposed to be the difference maker to push the Colts over the hump. Tennessee Titans are coming off of a vi...

The New England Patriots were to finish their game last night against their rivals the New York Jets. I called my upset pick of the week last Thursday and I would've had that call out if it wasn't for veteran quarterback and a former Super Bowl champion Joe Flocco tossing the win away with a LATE game int. to New England. 9-5 in week 9 which was a huge bounce back from a week 8 .500% of 7-7. Onwar...

The most recently dubbed game of the year for the 2020 last night ended up being a nightmare that Brady & the Buccaneers needed to wake up from extremely fast. The Buccs didn't and they 38-3! This was the battle for 1st place in the NFC South Division and the Buccaneers squander their chance to split the season series as they lost to New Orleans in week 1. Drew Brees, Taysom Hill and their defensi...

So many injuries on the 49ers side of the field last night as they put forth their best efforts to break .500 in a good way. Instead Aaron Rodgers and the Packers decimated the 49ers for their 1st win against the 49ers in his last 3 trys. 1st win in California in the Packers last 4 trips. 34-17 was the final score and appears even without Lazard at reciever and William's at running back for the Pa...

Yet another MNF snoozer in a matchup between to bad teams with a combined win loss record of 2-13!. The Patriots really miss Brady right now and they're 2-5, the Jets aren't a threat to a high school football team right now as they winless record 0-8 is just sad. Here's to Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and Patriots new Q.B. Cam Newton giving us a show or game to remember for years to come this firs...

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers have to win Sunday Night's game against their rival. The Buccaneers lost in week 1 to the New Orleans Saints 34-23. Drew Brees is battling a sore shoulder and the Saints acquisition of former Buccs linebacker Quan Alexander won't be a factor for this 2nd and final 2020 regilar season matchup. The Saints are desperate to win as if they do, they're on top of the NFC Sout...

The Cardinals are as explosive as any other team in the NFL in 2020. Their defense has gotten a lot better as well. The Dolphins hold the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL in points allowed per game. A shutout against the Jets in week 7 before a week 8 bye week will allow you to sky rocket up the rankings. The Dolphins also defeated the Rams last week allowing only 17 points. Can Dolphins head co...

Big Ben is visiting the city of big D this Sunday and Big D as in Dak won't be on the field unfortunately for the Dallas Cowboys. #4 vs. #7 won't happen in 2020 and may never happen unfortunately, unless the Cowboys have a significant worst to first 2021 season and meet the Steelers in the Feb. 2022 Super Bowl, nevertheless this Sunday will be a slaughtering of sorts for the Cowboys fans, the Stee...

Philip Rivers isn't walking through that door anytime soon Chargers fans. And besides, Justin Herbert looks real good as the future quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers! The Chargers defense is the issue and they're the Falcons West Coast. The Raiders won a defensive game on the east coast last week against the Browns amd they're 3 games behind the Chiefs in the win column. A win against divis...

Matthew Stafford just reported as covid-19 positive (possibly) so now this means the Minnesota Vikings have an easy win on Sunday with an easier road to week 10 right? I wouldn't be so certain as the Vikings are riding a ridiculous high after their week 9 victory over the Packers. The Lions hung in there against the Colts in week 8, so now again the question is will franchise quarterback Matthew S...

Patrick MaHomes II and the Chiefs are looking for their 8th victory of the season against an under .500% Carolina Panthers club. Teddy Bridgewater and company have a hard task ahead of them as they face a defense ranked 3rd in the NFL in points allowed per game. Very good quarterback duel as well, looking forward to this one but game would be better if Carolina had a winning record!
