Colin Cowherd’s NFL ‘Blazin 5’ For Week 2 (LISTEN ABOVE)
Seahawks at Steelers
“When you are a competent team and you are humiliated on national TV, you will rebound very quickly. Pittsburgh was humiliated; They'll play great and they're at home. Seattle on the other hand gave up 418 yards to Andy Dalton and the Bengals who have one of the worst offensive lines in football. And they didn't have AJ Green"
Colin’s Pick: Steelers (-3.5) "I'm taking the Steelers here and swallow the points, 28-21"
Bills at Giants
"Buffalo's coaching staff is fantastic. It's very rare when you have a great coaching staff and a losing record. Giants Pat Shurmur is a good coordinator but I don't think he's a good head coach. What was New York's defense last week? That was embarrassing. Plus, are we sure that Eli Manning is better than Josh Allen right now?" ”
Colin Pick: Bills (-2) "I'm gonna swallow the to points here and take Buffalo to win, 28-23."
Bears at Broncos
“Broncos head coach Vic Fangio was Chicago's defensive coordinator. He faced Mitch Trubisky every day at practice. He knows what he can do and he knows what he can't do. The Broncos haven't started 0-2 since 1999. They are 51-8-2 in home games since 1970. Also, Mitch Trubisky struggles the most when he's on the road.”
Colin’s Pick: Broncos (+2.5) I'm gonna take the points and Broncos with the upset, 24-20
Saints at Rams
"New Orleans' reputation is amazing, but they are 0-6 against the spread in the last six games. Bettors are betting them like they're the Saints from week 3 of last year. Their last 6 to 7 games have shown they're not the same football team. Deshaun Watson ate them alive. Last year the Saints lost to the Rams at home without Cooper Kupp and very little production from Todd Gurley. They're both back, and Jared Goff is a different quarterback at home."
Colin’s Pick: Rams (-2.5) "I like this number here. I'm betting the number. I think it could be competitive but -2, -2.5, Rams win 31-26
Eagles at Falcons
"I like Philadelphia a lot but they're not going 16-0. Last year, Matt Ryan was a better quarterback at home. Atlanta has also upgraded at offensive coordinator. Also a very good defensive lineman, Malik Jackson of the Eagles is out for the year. I love Carson Wentz but he struggles away from Philly. He's 8-12 on the road. His completion percentage plummets and his passer rating is in the mid-80s. Philadelphia is the better team but Atlanta was humiliated week 1."
Colin's Pick: Falcons (+2) I'm going to take the upset here. Falcons win 27-24
