Fox Bet online sportsbook is live in Pennsylvania.
It’s PA’s fifth online sportsbook. But this one comes with the extra bite of the Fox brand. Fox is the first American sports media company to use its brand to launch a sportsbook.
Fox Bet is also leveraging personalities – mainly Colin Cowherd to attract customers.
But will this radio host bring success for himself and his customers? That is why each week we are going to ask:
Did Colin win?
This week, he did, but it came down to Monday Night Football and a strong performance from Deshaun Watson to eke out an inauspicious start.
Tracking Cowherd’s picks
Cowherd’s Blazin’ 5 gives bettors the chance to double their money when he has a win streak in the NFL. He’s also introduced Marquee Three Super Boost College Football Picks.
“I love college football. It was the first sport I fell in love with,” he says. “I will try to get games that are somewhere on TV. I want to pick the SEC game…the Oregon game, The Ohio State, Texas, Michigan, Oklahoma as often as possible. A game we can all watch together.”
College Football Week 1
Cowherd debuted Marquee Three Super Boost College Football Picks last week.
(16) Auburn -3.5 vs. (11) Oregon
Colin’s pick: Auburn
Colin’s final score: Auburn 27 Oregon 21

Did Colin win? Yes, he even predicted the exact score.
Northwestern vs. (25) Stanford -6
Colin’s pick: Northwestern

Did Colin win? No
Fresno State vs. USC -14

Colin’s final score: USC 36 Fresno State 20

San Diego State vs. UCLA -8
Colin’s pick: UCLA
Colin’s final score: UCLA 30 SDSU 20

Texas A & M +17.5 vs. (1) Clemson

Colin says: “When they played last year, Texas A&M had more yards, double the first downs, and dominated time-of-possession (Clemson won 28-26). This is going to be a very competitive football game. Clemson’s offense will eventually mark the day. Don’t expect Jimbo Fisher and A&M to roll over”
Actual final score: Clemson 24 Texas A&M 10
Did Colin win? Yes
Week Two college football record: 1-2
Season college football record: 2 -4
