Colin Cowherd’s Blazin’ 5 is having a perfect NFL season so far. When three of his five picks cover, PA sports bettors can double their money with Fox Bet’s odds boost on the wagers.
Of course, Fox Bet Sportsbook is pumping up Cowherd’s perfect record to get an advantage over other PA online sportsbooks.
When it comes to college football, it’s a study in contrasts. He has yet to hit on his Marquee 3 Super Boost college football picks through five weeks. If all three picks hit, sports bettors cash at +800 instead of +600.
“It’s only a matter of time,” Fox Bet tweeted.
Each week we track all of Cowherd’s picks so you can know how he is faring before you follow his bets.
Cowherd’s college football Week 5 picks
Here are Cowherd’s Marquee 3 Super Boost college football picks for college football’s Week 5.
#18 Virginia vs. #10 notre dame (-12.5)
Colin’s pick: Virginia
Colin’s final score: Notre Dame 30, Virginia 20
Cowherd said: “That’s a lot of points. Virginia is a good team that is tied for the most sacks in college football. Notre Dame played a highly physical and emotional game last week. Notre Dame tends to be a good team after a loss but not dominant.”
Actual final score: Notre Dame 35, Virginia 20
Did Colin win? No
Northwestern vs. #8 Wisconsin (-24.5)
Colin’s pick: Northwestern
Colin’s final score: Wisconsin 36, Northwestern 16
Cowherd said: “Northwestern is hard to figure out. They are bizarrely good on the road, 8-0 in their last eight road conference games, and they’re also bizarrely good as a double-digit underdog. Wisconsin is better. Because they were on national TV and drubbed Jim Harbaugh I think they are overvalued. Everybody in the world has Wisconsin in the playoffs.”
Actual final score: Wisconsin 24, Northwestern 15
Did Colin win? Yes
#21 Usc vs. #17 washington (-10)
Colin’s pick: Washington
Colin’s final score: Washington 34, USC 23
Cowherd said: “USC is clinging to life. They are a mess. Don’t overvalue the Utah win. Washington is better defensively, better at quarterback, better coached, and an overall better roster. Washington is 16-1 in their last 17 home games and are absolutely brilliantly coached on defense. Jacob Eason may go number one in the draft.”
Actual final score: Washington 28, USC 14
Did Colin win? Yes
Week 5 college football record: 2-1
Season college football overall record: 6-9
Marquee 3 Super Boost record (requires winning all three games): 0-4
Colin Cowherd’s Week 4 NFL picks
Here are Colin Cowherd’s Week 4 Blazin’ 5 picks:
tennessee titans (+3.5) vs. atlanta falcons
Colin’s pick: Titans
Colin’s final score: Titans 27, Falcons 24
Cowherd said: “Don’t bail on Tennessee, they’re the most Jekyll and Hyde team in the NFL. Atlanta’s really been troublesome to me. Matt Ryan leads the NFL with six interceptions. They are tied with the Browns for the most penalties in the league. They’ve finished 9-7 the last three years and are just inconsistent because Marcus Mariota is inconsistent. I’m calling for an upset.”
Actual final score: Titans 24, Falcons 1o
Did Colin win? Yes
Baltimore ravens (-7) vs. Cleveland browns
Colin’s pick: Ravens
Colin’s final score: Ravens 29, Browns 17
Cowherd said: “I generally don’t like laying a touchdown but I’m taking Baltimore -7 here. Cleveland has been the poster boy for inefficiency. Leads the NFL in penalties, Baker Mayfield is second in the NFL in interceptions. Baltimore is the opposite. They have a lower ceiling but are completely efficient and are the only team in the NFL without a turnover. Points, yards, and rushing – first, first, first. I don’t think Lamar is there yet, but they don’t put him i positions to fail. I think Cleveland continually puts Baker in positions to fail.”
Actual final score: Browns 40, Ravens 25
Did Colin win? No
Oakland Raiders (+6.5) vs. indianapolis colts
Colin’s pick: Raiders
Colin’s final score: “27-26 game either way. Indy probably pulls it out.”
Cowherd said: “I’m going to go against the public on this. Josh Jacobs leads all rookie running backs. Colts have struggled to stop the fun. Here’s the problem with Indianapolis so far; they’ve won but barely and their defense has been really underwhelming. They’re 28th in red zone defense and 28th in third-down defense. I think the Raiders are going to convert a lot of third downs in this game and keep it close. I don’t like what I’m seeing with the Colts defense.”
Actual final score: Raiders 31, Colts 24
Did Colin win? Yes
Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals(+5.5)
Colin’s pick: Arizona
Colin’s final score: Seahawks 24, Cardinals 23
Cowherd said: “Like it, I love it. This game is always close. Seattle isn’t converting enough and allowing almost 27 points per game. All their games have been decided by six points or less. Arizona has played good teams. They are staying in games. They are a very interesting story here. I think Kyler Murray comes back and gets a backdoor cover.”
Actual final score: Seahawks 27, Cardinals 10
Did Colin win? No
Dallas Cowboys at new orleans saints (+2.5)
Colin’s pick: Saints
Colin’s final score: Saints 28, Cowboys 27
Cowherd said: “This is a gift. I get New Orleans which I think could be the better team and they are at home, and I get the superior coach and the points. Saints have only turned the ball over three times all year. Their pass rush has nine sacks. It’ll be the loudest crowd of the year. I’m taking the Saints to win it outright.
Actual final score: Saints 12, Cowboys 10
Did Colin win? Yes
Blazin’ 5 Week 4 record: 3-2
Blazin’ 5 overall record: 14-5-1
Blazin’ 5 record (requires winning three out of five games): 5-0
