Colin Cowherd · Jun 24, 2025
Cowherd predicts Cooper Flagg goes No. 1 and averages roughly 18-20 points as a rookie, with Dallas a playoff team and the second-best team in the West. In the NFL he picks the Chargers to win the AFC West as an 11-12 win team, the Chiefs as a wild card, Mike Tomlin's Steelers to post their first losing record at about 8-9 wins, and Miami to fire both Mike McDaniel and Chris Greer with Buffalo winning the division. He also believes Josh Allen will win a Super Bowl and thinks the Giants could go 3-14.
“So I like the Chargers to win the division.”
