Colin Cowherd is backing several favorites this weekend, despite the fact underdogs have stolen the show so far this NFL season.
Can the Eagles, Ravens and Cardinals all fly high enough to get wins and cover the spread?
Cowherd breaks it all down in this week’s installment of the Blazin’ 5.

Sunday, Sept. 29
EAGLES @ BUCCANEERS (+1.5)
1 p.m., FOX
Colin’s pick, score prediction: Eagles -1.5 (Eagles win, 30-24)
Colin’s thoughts: “The Eagles have the No. 2 offense in the league, and they just went to New Orleans — the loudest place in the league to play — and beat the Saints. Jalen Hurts had 311 yards of offense. The offense isn’t the problem; they’re turning it over too much. Meanwhile, Tampa’s offense, in the last two games, is a disaster on third down and averaging 13 points a game.”
RAMS @ BEARS (-3)
1 p.m., FOX/FOX Sports App
Colin’s pick, score prediction: Rams +3 (Rams win, 24-20)
Colin’s thoughts: “Chicago’s just not well-coached offensively … 31st-ranked rushing offense. This is a coaching-quarterback mismatch. The Bears also have 13 players on the injury list. And the Rams’ O-line is getting healthier.”
COMMANDERS @ CARDINALS (-3.5)
4:05 p.m., FOX/FOX Sports App
Colin’s pick, score prediction: Cardinals -3.5 (Cardinals win, 33-24)
Colin’s thoughts: “The Cardinals have the best point differential in the NFL for a losing team. Kyler Murray, this season, is completing almost 69% of his throws. He’s got a star receiver, he’s got a star running back. He’s getting decent protection. This is the time to sell on Washington.”
Blazin’ 5: Fade Bears vs Rams (+3), Ravens (-2.5) beat Bills, Eagles (-1.5) win in Week 4
BILLS @ RAVENS (-2.5)
8:20 p.m., NBC/Peacock
Colin’s pick, score prediction: Ravens -2.5 (Ravens win, 28-24)
Colin’s thoughts: “I love Buffalo, but it’s a short week, and this is a very big game for Baltimore. They are a toe-length from beating Kansas City. They hammered Dallas. The Ravens are the No. 1 team in the league in total offense. Their offense is fantastic.”
Monday, Sept. 30
SEAHAWKS @ LIONS (-3.5)
8:15 p.m., ABC/ESPN
Colin’s pick, score prediction: Seahawks +3.5 (Lions win, 24-23)
Colin’s thoughts: “Underdogs have done very well this year. Detroit’s good, but they haven’t been great this year. And here’s the thing for the Seahawks: Geno [Smith] completes passes, and they can run the football. Do you know right now that Jared Goff has more picks than touchdowns? And this defense is just sensational in Seattle.”
