Cohen’s Corner Week 10 NFL Picks

One of my favorite expressions is that “every blind squirrel gets a nut.” Well, excluding the Thursday and Monday night games…I went 11-0 straight up and 10-1 against the spread last week. Not too shabby for a bunch of toss-up games as I saw them in this column at the time. Among those correct picks […]

Week 11 CFB Expert Predictions

I love college football…there’s no ifs, ands, or buts…but what Alabama is doing to the sport is definitely hurting it big time. When a team, who is that dominant, so much so that their QB hadn’t played a 4th quarter snap into November, goes into the #3 ranked team’s home stadium and whoops them 29-0…it’s […]

Cohen’s Corner Week 9 NFL Picks

I’m not starting this column off with NFL talk for once. Unfortunately this is my last column while a co-host of The Daily Blender. I’ve chosen to move back into behind-the-scenes TV work full-time and therefore have to give up the weekday radio gig. I’ve had a hell of a time these last nearly 13 […]

Week 10 CFB Expert Predictions

Can you remember a more disastrous Saturday for favorites in a conference than we saw in the Pac-12 last week? Colorado blew a 31-3 lead in the last 23 minutes to a pathetic Oregon State team and lost in overtime AT HOME. Washington managed only 10 points as a 10.5 road favorite at Cal in […]

Cohen’s Corner Week 8 NFL Picks

We’re almost halfway through the NFL’s regular season…so it seems fairly appropriate to update my NFL playoff predictions. In the AFC, I’ll say New England, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, and Los Angeles (Chargers) will make the playoffs. Of those six, I’ll fade the two favorites in NE and KC while sticking with the Pittsburgh […]

Week 9 CFB Expert Predictions

We’re more than halfway through the college football season so naturally it’s time to revisit some of our preseason predictions. Let’s see where Shane, ‘Bear Down’ Steve, Jon (JB), and I stand through eight weeks: The Good: JB picking Texas to make the Final Four. Didn’t look so good after Week 1…but since then, that […]

Cohen’s Corner Week 7 NFL Picks

I’ve been saying this on radio all week…Thursday night’s matchup between the Cardinals and Broncos is the “Fire Bowl”. If Denver loses to a pathetic Arizona offense, I can almost guarantee that coach Vance Joseph will be unemployed come the weekend. On the contrary, if Arizona doesn’t produce offensively against a Broncos defense that hasn’t […]

Week 8 CFB Expert Predictions

Last weekend was the first sign of College Football 2018 Armageddon. Penn State and Auburn – losing at home to teams they easily should’ve beaten. Washington, West Virginia, Miami, and Georgia – falling on the road to teams they had talent advantages over. Four top-10 teams now on life support when it comes to the […]

Cohen’s Corner Week 6 NFL Picks

Let’s examine the curious case of the Atlanta Falcons. Somehow a team that was projected by some to go 12-4 has those four losses in only five games with a defense that’s among the NFL’s worst. QB Matt Ryan has averaged more than 300 yards passing per game with 11 TDs and only 2 INTs…and […]

Week 7 CFB Expert Predictions

The big question in college football right now is whether anyone can compete with Alabama. The Crimson Tide have scored at least 45 points in each of their six games this season while having only surrendered 96 points total! It’s staggering…they’re just wrecking teams, albeit none of the teams they have faced outside of Texas […]
