FoxSports’ Colin Cowherd has turned into quite the handicapper, for better or for worse. In what is called the “Blazing 5” segment on “The Herd”, Cowherd breaks down his favorite five games and makes five picks each week of the NFL season.

After starting out hot, Cowherd has been cold, but has rallied again. Some bad beats, some good wins, some bad picks, and more. Entering Week 12, his record was 28-25-2.

Last week, Cowherd’s Blazing 5:

Denver Broncos +3.5 @ Buffalo Bills – LOSS

New York Giants +6.5 @ Chicago Bears – WIN

Oakland Raiders -3 @ New York Jets – LOSS

Seattle Seahawks -1.5 @ Philadelphia Eagles – WIN

Dallas Cowboys +6.5 @ New England Patriots – WIN

Cowherd went 3-2 last week, and has rallied after getting close to .500. Cowherd and Blazin’ 5 bettors received a gift from Jason Garrett, choosing to kick a field goal in the red zone down seven points in the fourth quarter. In addition, the Giants scoring a touchdown late in the fourth quarter helped propel the Giants +6.5 for the Blazin’ 5. All in all, a positive Week 12.

NFL Thanksgiving Week 13 Colin Cowherd Blazing 5 Picks

Cowherd’s Thanksgiving week 13 NFL picks are located below. His Blazing 5 Picks passed on all 3 Thanksgiving Day games.

• Miami Dolphins +9.5 at home over Philadelphia Eagles
• Arizona Cardinals +3 at home over Los Angeles Rams
• Oakland Raiders +9.5 on the road over Kansas City Chiefs
• Baltimore Ravens -6 at home over San Francisco 49ers
• Carolina Panthers -10 at home over the Washington Redskins

In Week 13, Cowherd likes two favorites (Ravens and Panthers) and three underdogs (Dolphins, Cardinals, Raiders).

Of the five picks, Cowherd likes four home teams: Dolphins, Cardinals, Ravens, and Panthers but just one road team this week in the Raiders.

Cowherd explained he still thinks the Chiefs win over Oakland, but 9.5 points is too much to not take the Raiders off an embarrassing loss to the Jets.

The Blazin’ 5 has a winning record in nine of 12 weeks so far this season, and with an early show in Week 13 with Thanksgiving, Cowherd looks to improve to 10 for 13.

Can Baltimore stay hot?

Trust Kyler at home?

Cowherd Blazin’ 5 Pick by Pick Analysis

Miami Dolphins +9.5 at home over Philadelphia Eagles

9.5 points is too many to spot the Dolphins, says Cowherd. The Eagles have struggled mightily on offense, but they may be returning a few injured starters from Lane Johnson to Alshon Jeffery to Jordan Howard. Nevertheless, Cowherd is hopping on the Eagles struggle bus saying the Dolphins have been competitive with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Dolphins issue has been defensively, and since the Eagles have vastly struggled to move the ball of late it makes sense that Cowherd likes Miami given 9.5 points. If the Eagles struggle this weekend, the sky will be falling in Philadelphia.

Arizona Cardinals +3 at home over Los Angeles Rams

The Rams were just destroyed by the Ravens at home, and Jalen Ramsey was fired up after the loss. Coming off a bye, Cowherd really likes rookie quarterback Kyler Murray getting points against a clearly struggling Rams team. Essentially Cowherd likes: good quarterback, off a bye, at home, against a struggling team.

Murray will be a huge part of this divisional picture for years to come, but the Cardinals are not a good team yet. +3 seems tough given the Rams’ overall talent, but Cowherd likes the underdog here.

Oakland Raiders +9.5 on the road over Kansas City Chiefs

As mentioned above, Cowherd still thinks the Chiefs win this game but 9.5 points is too much to “spot Derek Carr”, per The Herd’s host.

This is a monumental game for the Raiders if they want to remain in the playoff hunt. Whether it’s a division title or a wild card spot, this game will certainly be part of a determination for both teams as they try to improve their records down the stretch. Mahomes vs. Carr, Raiders OL against the Chiefs DL, and more. This shapes up to be a fun game to watch.

Baltimore Ravens -6 at home over San Francisco 49ers

In what could be a Super Bowl preview, this week’s game of the week is Ravens and Niners. Without a doubt, these are two of the best teams in the NFL but Cowherd likes MVP-favorite Lamar Jackson to cover just six points at home against an elite 49ers defense.

No one has been able to stop Lamar Jackson yet this season, so it will be interesting to see how the Ravens approach this week’s game plan. As for the Ravens’ defense, the unit has massively improved so it will be a battle of wits between Kyle Shanahan and Greg Roman offensively against two very good defenses.

Carolina Panthers -10 at home over the Washington Redskins

10 points is a lot of points, so if books have -9.5 that is a better number of course. Cowherd thinks the Redskins have nothing. No offensive line, no defense, Josh Norman has been benched and the Panthers have the best player on the field on both sides of the ball. It’s rare to see a huge favorite in the Blazing 5, but that’s who Cowherd likes this week.

After starting out hot, Cowherd’s picks have been ice cold of late. Entering Week 11, his record was 26-23-1.

Last week, Cowherd’s Blazing 5:

Houston Texans +4 @ Baltimore Ravens – LOSS

Denver Broncos +10.5 @ Minnesota Vikings – WIN

New York Jets +2 @ Washington Redskins – WIN

Arizona Cardinals +10 @ San Francisco 49ers – PUSH

Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers +4 – LOSS

Cowherd went 2-2-1 last week, and is dangerously close to .500. Cowherd and bettors did receive a bad break with the Cardinals +10, as the Niners scored on a broken, last-second play. With that being said, the Texans +4 pick was a poor result, as the Ravens crushed the Texans 41-7.

NFL Week 12 Colin Cowherd Blazing 5 Picks

Cowherd’s five NFL picks for this week are:

• Broncos @ Bills – DEN +3.5
• Giants @ Bears – NYG +6.5
• Raiders @ Jets – OAK -3
• Seahawks @ Eagles – SEA -1.5
• Cowboys @ Patriots – DAL +6.5

Cowherd likes FIVE road teams this week. Almost unheard of, but his Blazin’ 5 has all road teams. Broncos in Buffalo, Giants in Chicago, Raiders in New York, Seahawks in Philly, and Dallas in New England.

Cowherd also picks the Cowboys to easily cover against the 2020 Super Bowl odds favored Patriots. Interesting.

Cowherd Blazin’ 5 Pick by Pick Analysis

Broncos @ Bills – DEN +3.5

Cowherd loves the Broncos in Week 12, as he starts his Blazin’ 5 with Denver. The Broncos are a much better football team of late, and he loves their defensive line against Buffalo.

Giants @ Bears – NYG +6.5

It’s fun to pick against Mitch Trubisky (if he starts), but Cowherd notes that Daniel Jones has played quite well, but the Giants are a bad team so no one recognizes it. Cowherd likes getting nearly a touchdown against “the worst offense in football”.

Raiders @ Jets – OAK -3

Cowherd is right about this game in terms of analysis, saying the Raiders have a massive advantage on the offensive line. The one thing he did say was Sam Darnold being under pressure, which would echo the Raiders’ performance last week with Maxx Crosby getting four sacks.

Seahawks @ Eagles – SEA -1.5

Colin really likes the fact that the Seahawks added Josh Gordon and Jadeveon Clowney, but the real story here is simple. Lane Johnson is likely out, which puts an old and worn down Jason Peters and Andre Dillard at right tackle, and Dillard has expressed a vast worry about moving from LT to RT. Also, Russell Wilson may be the NFL MVP.

Cowboys @ Patriots – DAL +6.5

Colin notes just how many points the Cowboys are getting in New England. This is a potential Super Bowl preview, but the Cowboys will need to improve their consistency to get there. The Patriots get their left tackle back, which helps.

After starting out hot, Cowherd’s picks have come back to Earth. Entering Week 10, his record was 24-20-1.

Last week, Cowherd’s Blazing 5:

Carolina at Green Bay – Carolina (+4.5) – LOSS

NY Giants at NY Jets – NY Jets (+3) – WIN

Arizona at Tampa Bay – Arizona (+5) – WIN

LA Rams at Pittsburgh – LA Rams (-4) – LOSS

Seattle at San Francisco – San Francisco (-6.5) – LOSS

Cowherd went 2-3 last week, and is now inching towards .500. Cowherd nailed the Jets over the Giants call, discussing the Giants losing five in a row and the Jets being able to move the ball. The Jets won 34-27.

NFL Week 11 Colin Cowherd Blazing 5 Picks

Cowherd’s five NFL picks are:

• Houston (+4) @ Baltimore – HOUSTON

• Denver (+10.5) @ Minnesota – DENVER

• New York Jets (+2) @ Washington – JETS

• Arizona (+10) @ San Francisco – ARIZONA

• Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers (+4) – CHARGERS

Cowherd likes five underdogs in Week 11, which is a serious “fade the public” move. Colin likes four road teams, with just one home team in the Chargers.

 This is the second straight week that Cowherd has picked the Cardinals, Jets, and a 49ers game. Last week, he picked the Niners to cover 6.5 against Seattle, but this week he likes the Cardinals +10.

Cowherd Blazin’ 5 Pick by Pick Analysis

• Houston (+4) @ Baltimore – HOUSTON

• In the battle of two of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL, Cowherd likes Deshaun Watson to prevail over the dual-threat star Lamar Jackson.
• The Ravens are coming off a 49-13 shellacking of the Bengals, but the Texans are coming off a bye.

• Denver (+10.5) @ Minnesota – DENVER

• 10.5 points is a lot of points, and given the Vikings’ obvious game plan of running the football it seems Cowherd likes a relatively low-scoring game.
• Picking the Broncos in Minnesota is a bold one, but again…10.5 points is a lot.

• New York Jets (+2) @ Washington – JETS

• Cowherd likes the Jets AGAIN, after picking them successfully against a bad Giants team.
• The Redskins are starting Dwayne Haskins, but do get Derrius Guice back.

• Arizona (+10) @ San Francisco – ARIZONA

• 10 points is a lot, but the 49ers roster is vastly superior in terms of talent.
• The ARI offensive line will have their hands full with the Niners front, and that will decide the game straight up and against the spread.

• Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers (+4) – CHARGERS

• This is a bit of a shocker, after the struggles the Chargers have had with consistency.
• The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes back after a full week of practice, as he’s getting healthier after the Chiefs loss to the Titans.
• Kansas City has lost four of their last six games.

In a crazy turn of events this season, FoxSports’ Colin Cowherd has turned into quite the handicapper. In what is called the “Blazing 5” segment on “The Herd”, Cowherd breaks down his favorite five games and makes five picks each week of the NFL season.

Entering Week 8, Cowherd was 22-12-1 with his “Blazing 5” picks. Unfortunately a tough Week 8 resulted in a 1-4 record, and Cowherd entered Week 9 with a 23-16-1 record on the season…and then Week 9 happened…

Last week, Cowherd’s Blazing 5:

1. IND -1.5 @ PIT – LOSS
2. OAK -2.5 vs. DET – WIN
3. CLE -3.5 @ DEN – LOSS
4. GB -3.5 @ LAC – LOSS
5. NE -3 @ BAL – LOSS

Colin Cowherd Picks Record to Date 2019

24-20-1 YTD now for Colin. A 1-4 week certainly brings Cowherd back to Earth with his NFL selections.

NFL Week 10 Colin Cowherd Blazing 5 Picks

Cowherd’s five NFL picks for this week are:

• Carolina at Green Bay – Carolina (+4.5)

• NY Giants at NY Jets – NY Jets (+3)

• Arizona at Tampa Bay – Arizona (+5)

• LA Rams at Pittsburgh – LA Rams (-4)

• Seattle at San Francisco – San Francisco (-6.5)

In Week 10, Cowherd has three of his five picks as road teams. He likes the Panthers on the road in Green Bay, the Cardinals at Tampa, and the Rams in Pittsburgh.

The only two home teams he likes in Week 10 are the 49ers and Jets, and the Jets take on the Giants, so it isn’t really a “road” game.

The Rams and Niners are the only two favorites Colin likes in his “Blazing 5”, with the Panthers, Jets, and Cardinals as underdogs.

Cowherd Blazin’ 5 Pick by Pick Analysis

• Carolina at Green Bay – Carolina (+4.5)

• After the Packers played horribly in Week 9, Colin goes against one of his picks last week and rolls with the Panthers.

• NY Giants at NY Jets – NY Jets (+3)

• The Battle for the Meadowlands is a battle between two bad football teams. Colin does not think the Giants can overcome their injuries to beat Adam Gase and the Jets.

• Arizona at Tampa Bay – Arizona (+5)

• Kyler Murray and the Cardinals have to score this week to beat the Bucs, and Colin believes that will certainly happen, taking the Cardinals +5.

• LA Rams at Pittsburgh – LA Rams (-4)

• The Rams will be a popular pick this week, as just four-point favorites against a lesser talented Steelers roster. With Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald on defense, and Sean McVay after a bye this line seems a bit low.

• Seattle at San Francisco – San Francisco (-6.5)

• The NFL’s last undefeated team stays undefeated after Week 10, per Cowherd.
• San Francisco’s defense is one of the best, if not the best, in the NFL and the Niners have one of the league’s best offensive minds calling plays. Dangerous combination at home in Week 10
