Tenn. Titans +3 (24-20)

New Orleans -3 (30-24)

Tampa Bay -2.5 (23-17)

San Diego +3 (27-23)

Baltimore -1 (24-20)

I lost track of how he did last year but these are his nfl picks for week 1.

[slacker00]

Thanks for posting, I already liked all of these. I can't stand cow turd's program, but I guess he's good ATS?

[strictlypaypal]

Baltimore all the way. San Diego winning that game straight up too.

Colin cowherd is the absolute man, don't know why people hate him. He killed it two years ago hitting 70%. Last year was around 50% I believe

[convick]

About 59% in 2011. 70% in 2012. Cant find last year's record but it was sub-50% I think. Was 11-30-2 at some point but did ok the last month.

[TwoWays]

He said strongest plays are mentioned first. weakest plays are mentioned last. so the list above going from top to bottom, strongest to weakest. He also mentioned something like he would have finished second in some contest at a casino if he'd entered. i don't know if that's believable.

he was referring to LVH supercontest

[boeing power]

He was great 2 years ago, terrible last year... 52% capper since 2010.

42% better than bear and weeder combined

[crustyme]

i still cant take this cowturd seriously after what he said prior to the colts-saint sb.

[2daBank]

42% better than bear and weeder combined

it's crazy to think they have a segment on espn that goes over whether teams will cover spreads or not during daytime shows. not too long ago they didn't even have spreads associated with the team schedules that pop up on the update ticker.

[survive]

Espn is finally realizing how popular sports betting is and how much viewership they can get

Yea, last season he was terrible but 2012 was a great season for him.

I like him too. One of the few radio heads that I can listen to. He really knows the game, doesn't state the obvious and brings up good analysis. His picks are usually good, better than majority of sbr.

[El Nino]

2-3. Just a dart thrower with slightly better write ups.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Haven't listened to him in awhile but I do like Colin one of the few decent ones at espn. Have noticed the trend myself past couple years with espn and other sports affiliated programs really banging the drum for sports betting and always emphasis on the spread #'s. Picks look pretty solid I would think 3-2 at worst.

[Domestic]

He could have gotten Saints with the points weeks ago.

[slacker00]

Cowherd just ran through his Blazing 5 for NFL week2 2014:

JAX(+6) WAS 21 JAX 20 "With 2 low scoring teams 6 points feels like 3 touchdowns.."
BUF(PK) BUF 27 MIA 20 "Tanne most sacked QB last year, BUF gets to the QB..."
CIN(-5') CIN 30 ATL 20 "CIN best home team outside of SEA, ATL suspect on the road..."
CAR(-2') CAR 31 DET 20 "DET on the road on a short week, Cam back for CAR."
SD(+6) SEA 21 SD 20 "Sandwich game for SEA on road, SD is a real team getting pts at home..."

I gotta say, his reasoning seems very solid on all of these games. We'll see how he does this week...

[survive]

I'm already on most of these so I have no complaints haha

[TwoWays]

so he went 2-3 last week, but his top play hit. is his top play this week the jags?

[punkbhstl]

It's SD

[slacker00]

It's SD

Yep, he always goes in increasing order. But also he said this week they are all pretty equal.

[pacocn]

Did he mention also that these picks are for entertainment purposes only?

[GunShard]

"CIN best home team outside of SEA"
I'm quite sure the Saints are the best home team outside of Seattle.

i like 3-5 but i can tell you this he needs to come up with a better reason for Buffaloe to beat Miami than ,Tanne most sacked QB last year, BUF gets to the QB., the pats has a decent pass rush ,and beleave it , miami isnt miami of last year as far as getting to the QB so guys DONT take the little speech , and last time i checked Miami has a running back that rushed for 134 ,with a combined almost 200 yards between Miller and Mereno .against the Pats.

[slacker00]

He maybe did, I missed it. He does talk really fast, I had to listen through 3 times.

"CIN best home team outside of SEA"
I'm quite sure the Saints are the best home team outside of Seattle.

I agree. He quoted some stats about CIN, but now I forget. He maybe forgot about NO.

He had other reasons, I just gave a couple. He also talked about BUF sweeping MIA last year.

Cincinatti went 8-0 at home last year and covered the spread all eight times.

[slacker00]

Cincinatti went 8-0 at home last year and covered the spread all eight times.

But their playoff loss to SD 27-10 last year was at home. They were 4-4 in 2012. There are better home teams.

he got his ass kicked last year, it was like 32-44, trust me.

i hate him because he shades half pts in his favor. if a favorite is widely available at 3, he used to say he got 2.5. if a dog was +3, he would say he got 3.5

i emailed his show multiple times calling him out in 2012 for doing this, i was relentless about it. then last yr he got his holy ass kicked. he and his people took note of what people like myself were saying. give the widely available line at time of the pick or do not give a pick at all. do not insult us who know the lines.

last week he went 2-3 but at least he gave out the correct spreads LOL

Yes, actually he seemed to shade the wrong way this week, laying an extra half point in several games.

[Dirty Sanchez]

All those plays need is a little Seaweed to kill them

[TwoWays]

4-1. I'd say Colin bounced back nicely

[seaborneq]

Everybody's picks look good before the games are played.
