Week 6 was his worst yet, as he finished an awful 1-4.

Cowherd on Jalen Hurts
After making his Week 6 picks against the spread, Cowherd interviewed former Philadelphia Eagle Seth Joyner. Cowherd, who “isn’t quite ready to bail on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts quite yet” asked Joyner for his insights.
On Hurts Joyner said:
“I like the kid but I think he’s at a disadvantage because his head coach is making him just pass the ball. They ran the ball one time in the first half. How do you ask him to line up in shotgun 95% of the time and just throw without using Miles Sanders to his benefit.”

Cowherd said:
“One of my stronger plays of the week. Lamar Jackson is explosive and his passing has been Top Five in key categories – yards, completions, big pass plays. He leads the NFL with 1800 total yards. It will come down to running. The Chargers defense is not great and they are atrocious against the run. The Ravens are one of the more explosive run teams. I think they dominate dominate time-of-possession.”
