The thing with Cowherd is his analytics go out the window when picking games. I used to like him back when he wasn’t so harsh towards Pete Carroll. Yeah the Giants will be a tough game but I think we’re looking at this game as a potential conference playoff tie breaker if it comes down to it. Undefeated against the AFC but we need this game
Pretty sure Cowherd has partnerships with some Vegas betting companies and gets his picks/info from them.
I've heard similar that he has shared business interests in Russell Wilsons PR company hence going all in on being pro Russ for several years.
I don't mind Cowherd. He's right on quite a lot of things. I do think he is too LA biased. Sucks up way to much to the Rams and USC and some of his talk about the city of Seattle seems outdated and more in line with the Seattle/Washington he grew up in. Especially the stuff about stars not wanting to stay in Seattle recently.
I actually thought he was pretty complimentary to the Seahawks in that video. I still think the Seahawks are a work in progress and likely a year or 2 away from contending but if they do beat the Giants it's a good statement. I'd also agree that Geno Smith isn't likely getting paid elsewhere. I think Smith has been great but the o-line and Waldron have also equally been as good.
