Cowherd gave his four favorite NFL over bets and four favorite unders, projecting the Chargers around 10 wins, the Browns 7-8, the Giants over 7.5, the Saints 9-10, the Chiefs 10, the Packers around 9, and the Jets at two-to-three wins with the No. 1 overall pick next draft. He also called three Giants rookies immediate starters.
“I think The jets are a two to three win team... they'll be the number one pick in THE nfl draft next year.”
