Colin Cowherd? Deceptive

Loves2kickass · Jan 16, 2019

He stated on his show that he's 8-0 in the playoffs. Bullshit. That's a little deceptive. I like how he tries to word it as if he hasn't been wrong yet. He took Dallas plus the points last week and lost but since the Rams won SU hes counting it as a win. His words were, "Absolutely the Cowboys will cover". 7-1 is still outstanding but Lord dude, be honest. What a lame

Haha. Dude, just be upfront and honest.

Now he's complaining that the weather forecasts in KC were inaccurate because there's not going to be a arctic blast. The weather will be 19 degrees lol. What a moron.

Yeah that’s SUPER misleading. When I heard that I thought I thought I remembered his Rams/Boys pick wrong, only to find out he was lying.

G-Man! · Jan 16, 2019

Maybe he bought the line to 8.5 ? when he posted. There was some 8's out the briefly.

Not only that but he didnt even pick all the games wildcard weekend

He picked only Colts over Texans the rest he said he was leaning one way. If he had to bet he would pick this team to win. He didnt even mention the Bears vs Eagles game either.

No, he stated 7 1/2

This is correct. If you go back to his Blazing 5 for the Divisional Round on youtube, he says +7.5, predicts an end score of 26-30 Rams.

Loves2kickass · Jan 16, 2019

I guess he makes picks ATS then broadcasts his SU record lol. He'd make a good tout

It would be interesting to know if Cowherd ever played football or any sport for that matter. Some of these "know-it-alls" have never worn a jock strap.

He's a TV personality so who cares what side he bets. What is he life time?

Flip a coin 7 times. It's not hard to go on a streak. 7-1 doesn't mean anything when good cappers are striving to hit higher than 52.7% which means that literally every game will feel like/be close to a coin flip. It just doesn't matter and it's too small of a sample to be meaningful. When I hear people getting excited about someone being 10-0 or something I just roll my eyes because they probably don't have any idea what they are talking about (including Cowherd). The variance in sports is so high that small samples are literally meaningless. He's just on a streak - happens to everyone including you and me. He will run bad next season and people will start making threads about fading him again. He's probably around 50% lifetime like most people are and will lose to the juice in the end.

And I agree with you that it's not surprising to me that he's inflating his record. Seems like something he would do. He knows football but that doesn't make him good at handicapping spreads. If he's getting excited about going 7-1, I can't wait to see him in the next few years when he comes back down to earth. Sports has a way of humbling everyone at some point so it's just a matter of time (myself included). Not being negative just being a realist. So to people who bet the NFL a lot, it's not a big deal to go 7-0. Nothing but a streak most of the time.

Good cappers don't use trends. Trend cappers are the one's with streaks. . Take Marc Lawrence for example. He is strictly a trend capper. His study time is devoted to past win streaks by trends only.

I wonder how many guys had the Patriots picked in the 5 games they lost this year? Marc Lawrence had the Pats on Sunday against the Chargers because of all kinds of trends.

Lets ee how many cappers pick Pittsburgh next year against Cleveland. They (CLE) haven't beat Pittsburgh in years.

You couldn't be more wrong.

NE in the division round have now gone Over 9 straight times, and the TT has gone over most of the time as well as covering the spread. Following that trend has been a money maker.

There are many successful handicappers that make a ton of money utilizing historical data.

There are many ways to handicap a game, saying good cappers don't use trends or historical data is ridiculous.

His NFL record against the spread during the regular season was 45-33. I don’t care if he used Monday lines or Friday lines, that’s a good record. Why all the shade on Colin? I find his NFL analyses to be helpful.
