ESPN Colin Cowherd win rate ATS - Page 2 - Sports Betting

Oh, I totally agree, I just think it's great that ESPN puts this losing dummy on the air as their "betting expert" even though he's losing at a worse rate than someone who just blindly picks every single favorite.

see?

he literally picks the 'circle the wagon' bills and the 'raaaaidahs' every week because they must be due.

i stand corrected about cowherd, but i stand firm on berman.

Briefly listened to the Cowherd thing. Thought it was pretty funny how he brought up the Giants being 12-1 their last 13 games as a dog as a point in their favor, even though they're not a dog this week.

Someone knows their nfl handicapping just not sure if it's Colin or someone behind the the scenes.

Yeah, even though the talk he was using to justify it was pretty awful, I have liked most of his picks the last few weeks. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he had a sharp pro that feeds him winners for his show after he's already gotten down all the action he wants earlier in the week.

to be fair the reasons hes states for his picks usually* are decent. Certainly better then stats the WISEGUY that comes in every friday brings in as reasons. "THE GIANTS ON THE ROAD AFTER FACING THE COWBOYS ARE 3-6 VS THE SPREAD" or some dumb **** like that.

i think it's more what iggy said.

he gets the picks then maybe has to come up with the reason on his own...

Is Cowherd making his blazing 5 picks for this week? Don't see any updates on the website.

Being a longtime listener I dont find it that unlikely he's making these picks himself. I'm sure hes got many pointers, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He's prob just a slightly better then BE handicapper at this point thats having an amazing run.
But I understand most people hate the thought of one of these ESPN talking heads being better at this stuff then them, so carry on.

i do. i think there's evidence that he's got sharps in his corner.

i don't hate the guy. and whoever is picking them IS running good. those two don't have to be exclusive.
