Colin Cowherd · Sep 6, 2025

Cowherd praised the Cowboys' Micah Parsons trade, arguing Dallas is in a rebuild and can use its stockpiled first-rounders to land a quarterback and another edge rusher, while predicting Dallas's defense will be atrocious without Parsons. He also likes Oklahoma to beat Michigan, picks Seattle at home over the 49ers as his favorite pick of the week, calls Mazi Smith a bust, and considers CeeDee Lamb a top-five or six receiver.

“My favorite pick of the week is Seattle at home plus points.”
