Colin Cowherd

picks NE to win by 14-17. Thinks it won't be close.

When was the last time Cowherd was right about anything?

He also picked the Broncos last year.

Tequilla

Only way the Patriots win by that amount is IF the offense can't do anything and commits a ton of turnovers

We already saw what happens when that occurs in the NFC title game ...

When was the last time #3 lost a game by more than 1 score?

All because they thumped a shitty Colts team who gets their cock sucked dry by the media and tricks people into thinking they are legit.

Seattle tried as hard as it could to lose to the 2nd/3rd best team in the NFL and couldn't do it.

I don't hate the Patriots. I've actually kinda liked them, especially how Belichick has been able to plug in new players and keep having continued success. But, I wouldn't mind the Seahawks plungering them, just to see all the so-called pundits be wrong.

The Seahawks continue to be disrespected, which totally plays into the players' hands. They just use it as motivation. If the Seahawks lose, it won't be because they were unprepared and unfocused.

It's an underdog team that relishes being in the underdog role

Cowherd can fuck off

Cowherd was a big time Sark supporter.

Enough said about that.

I don't recall who was favored last year but the Broncos had put together the greatest season on offense in league history and had Peyton who was hot as you can get. I don't think too many people saw 43-8 coming.

Before the NFC game the pundits said Seattle had played no QBs during their stretch run which was true. Then they shut down Rodgers for the second time this year. Even with 5 turnovers.

Brady is great and NE is really good but it won't be a blow out.

The NE defense is for real and Seattle isn't exactly a juggernaut on offense. Should be a tough game

The Seahawks haven't lost a game by double digit points since Nov. 6, 2011. Anyone predicting a Pats blowout is pretty stupid, if they win it will be close. Pete with 2 weeks to prepare is also crazy, crazy good.

Cowherd also said about 18 months ago that Cyler Miles would lead UW to a Rose Bowl.

Lots of people like to talk about all the times Cowherd is wrong

Does anyone know the last time an NFL team lost a playoff game when they lost turnover -3? I know the Jets turned the ball over 5 time in 1983 and beat the Raiders, but the Raiders also turned it over 5 times and some team had to win.

The GB game did not need anything extra ordinary (like the onside kick) even with the -2 difference.

Winning games when you lose turnovers -3 is really difficult, and the Seahawks did it. The Seahawks tried to give that game to the Packers, and the Packers were not good enough to take it.

I was bored, so I decided to look at what ESPN's so-called experts are predicting.

Dan Graziano's "assessment" is FS.

Dan Graziano, ESPN New York Giants reporter
Patriots 26, Seahawks 17 -- Last year's Seahawks weren't beatable, but the NFC Championship Game showed that this year's clearly are, and the Patriots' the-world's-out-to-get-us week is just what Belichick needed to get the better team in the right frame of mind.

Really? The Seahawks weren't beatable last year? Now they are beatable, because they shot themselves in the foot in the NFCCG with stupid turnovers and still managed to win? The Seahawks won, idiot. If they were beatable, they would have lost the NFCCG.

Assholes like him didn't even watch the game. They just looked at the box score and called it a day.

Maybe there's just lots of talking because he IS wrong so often.

I saw a stat somewhere that read the seahawks haven't lost by 10+ 60 something games running. I think the next closest team is at 18.

The streak goes through Russell's entire career, so he's never lost by more than 3 fgs. If that doesn't scream "winner" I don't know what does.

But to the point of thread, highly unlikely they lose by a double digit margin.

People forget that the Seahawks barely won Super Bowl 48 over the 49ers.

But yeah, no fucking way Seattle loses by 17.

Fatigue makes cowards of us all. They run Lynch 5 or 10 times in the first half just to soften things up. Defenses are all geared up and they do a pretty good job. You also spread the field and run the defense around. Then in the second half the tired defense doesn't want to tackle Lynch anymore and you smash him into them time after time. There's a reason the Hawks do so well in the 4th quarter. It's not an accident
