Cowherd’s college football Week 6 picks
Here are Cowherd’s Marquee 3 Super Boost college football picks for college football’s Week 6.
#14 iowa vs. #18 michigan (-3.5)
Colin’s pick: Michigan
Colin’s final score: Michigan 26, Iowa 20
Cowherd said: “I’m going to take Michigan to win and cover the spread. Michigan was favored in this game by 14 points during the summer, but because they lost to Wisconsin and they’re 11 points less of a team? No. Wisconsin’s fantastic. Their defense is the best I’v ever seen. Iowa is undefeated but they have yet to face a team this season who has a current winning record. Michigan’s the better team. This is an easy number to cover.”
Actual final score: Michigan 10, Iowa 3
Did Colin win? Yes
#7 Auburn (-2.5) vs. #10 Florida
Colin’s pick: Auburn
Colin’s final score: Auburn 27, Florida 20
Cowherd said: “Auburn has dominated this series. Even though it’s at Florida, Auburn’s won the last three meetings. Their defensive line is one of the best. In their last three games, Auburn’s offense has exploded. They’re 5-0 against the spread this year.”
Actual final score: Florida 24, Auburn 13
Did Colin win? No
#11 texas vs. West Virginia (+10.5)
Colin’s pick: West Virginia
Colin’s final score: Texas 30, West Virginia 20
Cowherd said: “Texas is the better team but I’m taking West Virginia and the points. West Virginia, strangely, has given Texas all sorts of trouble. They run the heck out of the football and will keep it away from Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger. Texas is playing Oklahoma next week, and they’ve lost the game before the Sooners game in three of the last five seasons.”
Actual final score: Texas 42, West Virginia 31
Did Colin win? No
Week 6 college football record: 1-2
Season college football overall record: 7-11
Marquee 3 Super Boost record (requires winning all three games): 0-6
Colin Cowherd’s Week 5 NFL picks
Here are Colin Cowherd’s Week 5 Blazin’ 5 picks:
Chicago Bears (-4.5) vs. oakland Raiders
Colin’s pick: Bears
Colin’s final score: Bears 29, Raiders 23
Cowherd said: “The better organization will travel better than a chaotic one if you have to go to Europe. I don’t believe the Bears going to a backup quarterback is a true ‘back up.’ Chase Daniel is as good as Mitch Trubisky and I don’t think it’s worth more than half a point. The Bear’s defense is second or third in every meaningful category. ”
Actual final score: Raiders 24, Bears 21
Did Colin win? No
arizona Cardials (+3) vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Colin’s pick: Arizona
Colin’s final score: Cardinals 26, Bengals 24
Cowherd said: “I’m going to take Arizona to win their first game. Cincinnati’s two dynamic perimeter players, A.J. Green and John Ross, are out. They don’t have a dynamic quarterback, so where do I get dynamic playmakers? They can’t do anything. They can’t score, they can’t rush and they’re are bad in the red zone. Arizona’s got a playmaker in Kyler Murray. Cincinnati’s become a bad football team. They are 2-13 in their last 15 games. They are awful and I don’t think there is a lot of hope in that locker room. Arizona’s got all sorts of hope.”
Actual final score: Cardinals 26, Bengals 23
Did Colin win? Yes
tampa bay Buccaneers vs. New orleans saints (-3)
Colin’s pick: Saints
Colin’s final score: Saints 30, Buccaneers 23
Cowherd said: “Tampa Bay is a losing franchise that had a good Sunday. The Saints have been a winning franchise for fifteen years. The bottom line in betting is take the team you think is going to win the game. Don’t worry about points. Are you telling me the only difference is the Superdome? That these two teams are even? Nonsense. Since the start of last season, Tampa Bay has allowed 30 points 11 times, most in the NFL.”
Actual final score: Saints 31, Buccaneers 24
Did Colin win? Yes
Minnesota vikings (-4.5) vs. New York Giants
Colin’s pick: Minnesota
Colin’s final score: Vikings 30, Giants 23
Cowherd said: “I wrote down the 10 best players in this game and the Vikings had nine of them. This is a personnel mismatch. Minnesota was embarrassed last week. Good rosters and good coaches who get embarrassed bounce back. The Giants haven’t won three straight games in three years.”
Actual final score: Vikings 28, Giants 10
Did Colin win? Yes
Green Bay Packers (+3.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys
Colin’s pick: Packers
Colin’s final score: Packers 27, Cowboys 26
Cowherd said: “This feels really obvious to me. I get a significantly better quarterback and over a field goal. Aaron Rodgers doesn’t turn the ball over so they won’t give Dak, Zeke and the offensive line a short field. I think it’s a real urgent game for Green Bay. The whole world watched Green Bay get pushed around last week against Philadelphia. I think their defense says ‘ok fellas come on.’ If a good unit gets embarrassed, I think the Packers defense is good, they will play well the next week.”
Actual final score: Packers 34, Cowboys 24
Did Colin win? Yes
Blazin’ 5 Week 5 record: 4-1
Blazin’ 5 overall record: 18-6-1
Blazin’ 5 record (requires winning three out of five games): 6-0
