Colin Cowherd Doesn’t just talk football – he picks too.
Cowherd and Jason McIntyre Their best bet for spending some portion of the release Thursday College football play off
Let’s dive into their analysis “The Herd.”
(all times ET)
no 10 Indiana @ no. 7 Our Lady (Friday, 8 p.m., ABC/ESPN)
Colin’s pick: Indiana +7.5
Colin’s thoughts: “Very bad weather. I think it’s a low-scoring, ugly game with a lot of running. They’re very good defenses. I like both of these coaching staffs. I think if you give these coaching staffs time, it’s going to be a fairly competitive game. I think Notre Dame is the best team and Notre Dame will win.”
J-Mac’s Picks: Notre Dame -7.5
J-Mac’s Thoughts: “Indiana, when they stepped up in class against Michigan and Ohio State this year, they didn’t look good.”
no 12 Clemson @ no. 5 Texas (Saturday, 4 p.m., TNT/Max)
Colin’s pick: Total under 52 points
Colin’s thoughts: “I think Texas knows they have a significantly better roster and they’re going to be as conservative as they’ve been the last three weeks. I don’t think they’re going to open up any of their playbooks to let the next few teams see them play. It.”
J-Mac’s Picks: Texas-12
J-Mac’s Thoughts: “Clemson felt like they won their Super Bowl coming into this game by beating SMU. … Don’t be surprised if Texas drops a 40-burger. I don’t mind Clemson too much. They haven’t been good all season.”
Collin and JMack’s Big Bets: Notre Dame Upset Alert, OSU-Tennessee, Texas-Clemson
no 9 Tennessee @ no. 8 Ohio State (Saturday, 8 p.m., ABC/ESPN)
Colin’s pick: Tennessee +7.5
Colin’s thoughts: “Thirteen-degree weather. Tennessee to close it out against Ohio State. I think their defensive line is going to force Ohio State to throw the ball 40 times, and I don’t trust Will Howard — and Ohio State doesn’t trust Will Howard. Tennessee has a great game against Michigan.” Has the run-game and a great D-line … the pressure is on Ohio State.”
J-Mac’s Picks: Ohio State -7.5
J-Mac’s Thoughts: “I believe the Ohio State-Michigan game was a complete overreaction. Everyone is bailing on Ohio State. … I think they’ll show up here.”
