Colin Cowherd· Jan 15, 2025
Cowherd's strongest divisional-round take is the Eagles over the Rams, arguing Philadelphia won't play as poorly as it did the week before and that the Rams can't repeat a near-perfect performance. He also says he won't bet against the Bills at home against Baltimore, calling this the best version of Buffalo.
“I like the Eagles a lot this weekend, even though today that sounds outrage.”
