Colin Cowherd · Sep 12, 2025

The host of the Week 2 gambling segment (unnamed in the transcript) laid out five picks, predicting New England beats Miami, Jacksonville wins outright at Cincinnati 27-21, Arizona handles Carolina, Kansas City beats Philadelphia 27-24 at home, and Atlanta wins at Minnesota.

I think Jacksonville wins this game twenty seven, twenty one.
