Cowherd has been absolutely amazing this year, his picks effect the Vegas line. If you do a search on Colin Cowherd Blazing 5, the returns include a lot of betting sites that mention Colin. To be honest, I have a lot of respect for the guy, he's a work-a-holic and knows his stuff. I wouldn't want to hang around him because that voice and attitude would wear thin very fast, but I respect the man. Here's a quote from a guy that hates him about his picks: "Each week, Cowherd offers his "Blazing Five" NFL line picks. With those picks, he's 35-15 on the season—70 percent accurate. That's essentially unheard of. The Las Vegas Hilton has a "SuperContest" in which the city's best sports gamblers pick five games a week. The best entrant in that contest is 33-15-2, or, in other words, not as good as Colin Cowherd." http://deadspin.com/colin-cowherd-blazing-five/Also, here's a link to a page with his previous Blazing 5 picks. He's full of himself, but he has every right to be, his picks are phenomenal. http://search.espn.go.com/cowherd-blazing-five/audio/7_________________ Joe Vellano, DT, 6'1", 300lbs, 61 tkls 14 TFL, 6 sacks" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc_yzeVi-eU, Mike Catapano 6'4" 271QB Jordan Rodgers 6'1" 212# 2539 Yards, 60% completion 15td/5int

in 2005 he predicted us to lose every playoff game and eventually the superbowl.. he got one right.. actually had hasselback on his show after the 1st playoff win, and asked him how he felt about being underdogs in every game throughout the play offs. Hass said, i'll let you know after we win the superbowl...
but i did actually enjoy listening to his show back in the day...

I'll give the guy credit, but he is 35-15 for games that he chose to pick. He picks the 5 games he is most sure about, and picks those... Not the same as being 35-15 when picking each game. Still very impressive, just pointing out the difference.
I hope hes right.

I hope hes right. There is NO difference. He is picking against the spread. 35-15 is off the charts vs the spread-doesn't matter what games he is picking. The guys in the Hilton Supercontest have the same luxury.

70% out of 5 picks each week, means he averages 1.5 picks wrong each week, that's basically saying one week he gets one wrong and another week he gets 2 wrong....on a good week he has a 20% chance of being wrong this week and a bad week it's a 40% chance of being wrong.
I certainly hope we win, but just because some "expert" picks us doesn't increase our chances any

He generally does NOT pick teams to "win" or to "lose".
He picks them to beat the spread.
Unless he picked us as an 'Upset Special'.........
His Blazing 5 are vs the spread.

The guys in the Hilton Supercontest have the same luxury. In that case we should put less stock in his predictions - in terms of our chances for getting a W - Because if we lose by 1 or 2 points his pick will still be "right" even though Seahawks lose...

The guy who is stunningly accurate in upset picks is Tom Looney on the JT the Brick show. Loony even picked Obama to upset Romney. Loony picks Seattle a lot. He follows the Hawks.

Crazy. Hopefully Rice being Q doesn't hurt us.

I certainly hope we win, but just because some "expert" picks us doesn't increase our chances any Try to pick 5 games a week against the spread. 70% is a very very good percentage. These aren't straight up winners, these are ATS. So if Chicago wins 23-20, he still basically "wins" since Chicago is favored by 4.

Because any sane person outside of downtown Portland knows what we're in for now.
Funny, I hear a lot of people bashing Cowherd as a Hawk Hater, but he's been picking us a lot lately. He picked us in Miami and was actually wrong on that one, then went ahead and picked us again in Chi, which is surprising since we're 1-5 on the road. I wouldn't have picked us ATS even then.
He even comes out and says he's a Seahawk homer, and his favorite player growing up was Largent, but he takes a LOT of pride in being right, and when we stink, he castigates us for it. He has been really amazing with his Blazing 5 picks this year though.
