At the beginning of the NFL season, Colin Cowherd made some unbelievably weak predictions.
Here are the results:
1. Patriots win over 10 games. - True, 10-6
2. San Diego wins AFC West. - True
3. Steelers have a better record than both Cleveland and Cincinnati. - False, Bengals win divison.
4. Detroit finishes below .500 - True, 2-14
5. Bears offense is improved. - True, 26th in 2008, 23rd in 2009
6. Buffalo's offense is improved. - True, 30th in 2008, 25th in 2009
7. Redskins do not win the NFC East - True
8. Miami wins less games than last year. (11 games)- True, 7-9
9. Denver finishes below .500 - False, 8-8
10. Seattle wins at least 8 games. - False, 5-11
11. Mathew Stafford, NFC rookie of the year. - Not happening.
So Cowherd got 7 out of 11 of the lamest predictions ever made correct.
Seriously dude, either get some balls or stay out of prognosticating.

Those were really some lame predictions. I tried to look back at my predictions. The only one I remember was saying the Texans would make the playoffs. I was wrong, but they still had the FIRST WINNING RECORD IN THEIR TEAM HISTORY at 9-7.
I really don't get your anger towards his predictions?
He doesnt claim to be Nostradamus he was just making some NFL predictions he Could Guarantee.
All of those were Vegas Lines you could bet on....Thus if you hit 7 of 11 of those in Vegas you are considered an absolute Genious.
Colin was also pointing out that the NFL has more parity than other leagues but that certain franchises are just simply better run than others....thus you can somewhat predict the way some teams seasons will go by their personnel.
Now, if he made a prediction in baseball that the Red Sox, Yankess, and Dodgers would be in the top 10 next year that would be silly.......but in the NFL it is different.
Give him a break...
No way, no break at all. You know why, because he wouldn't give one.
He even admitted the predictions were weak when he got flooded with emails on how lame they were.
He's on the radio with his own show. Give me some insight not crap that the girls could tell us. I don't need to listen to his show to think about whether the Lions were going to have a losing record this year.
And he even got 4 of the so called guarantee's wrong. If he wanted to just give out good bets in Vegas then that's what the segment should have been about. But it wasn't, it was about 10 absolute locks that would happen in the season this year.
If you're going to make incredibly weak predictions then they better all be right.
I have way more respect for someone who goes out on a limb, makes some tough picks and gets 50% correct.
Koko....Colin loves Vegas and gamblers......heck the majority of his audience bets on games.
Nailing 7 of 11 in the gambling community is absolutely outrageous. The greatest gambling prognistactors will tell you that if you can hit 51% of your bets...you are a genius....point..fact....no disputing it.
He is just playing up to his gambling crowd....look at your streak for the cash.....if you win 7 in a row....you are pumped!
Long Live Colin!!! Colin Rules!!!
Long Live Colin!!! Colin Rules!!!
I reiterate, that's not what he was talking about. You're just making it about gambling to try and justify the incredibly weak predictions.
It was not a gambling segment, he mentioned nothing about lines or betting when he made these predictions. He simply stated that he had 10 things that absolutely will happen during the 2009 season.
Plus I really do not think you can bet on the Steelers having a better record than the Browns and Bengals. You can just bet on a single team's record over or under.
Nor can you bet on Buffalo's or the Bears offense to be "improved."
Nor can you bet the Redskins to not win the NFC East, you have to bet who would win or the Redskins win total over/under.
So there's a bunch that weren't even gambling lines, just fucking lame.
He sucks, he's more interested in talking about philosophy and psychology than pure sports anymore. He's become very hard to listen to.
Blasphemy!
