Colin Cowherd· Oct 10, 2025

Cowherd ran through his weekly 'Blazing 5' picks, calling Seattle to win outright at Jacksonville, low-scoring Patriots and Commanders wins, a narrow Chargers win over Miami, and a Raiders win over Tennessee. He also picked the Rams over the Ravens and the Steelers over the Browns.

“Seattle wins outright in a bad mood. Cross Country thirty twenty seven.”
