Week 2 NFL Picks & Best Bets

DON’T OVERREACT TO WEEK 1! I say it every year like clockwork…but unfortunately, considering there was no 2020 preseason, separating truths from falsehoods proves tougher.

The Cohen’s Corner 2021-21 NFL Predictions + Week 1 Picks & Best Bets

This is without a doubt the least surprising thing I’ll say in this column…but the 2020-21 is going to be weird. I mean, it already is weird. No preseason games…very little hype…and even fewer major stories to look out for as the season begins this week. It’s like an alternate universe in some ways.

Week 17 NFL Picks

Just a brief column for Week 17 with the last NFL regular season picks for 2019. Next week I’ll be back with my NFL playoff predictions, college bowl game thoughts, and much more!

The Cohen’s Corner ‘Expert’ CFB Bowl Predictions + Week 16 NFL Picks

The end of the football season is usually a depressing time…but this year, I can’t say I’m too upset. My Arizona Wildcats lost their final seven games, my NFL picks have been dreadful, and my fantasy football teams…well, that’s another story.

Sure I’m excited about my favorite NFL team, the Packers and their playoff chances. But the most exciting thing for me come mid-to-late December every year is the college bowl games.

Recapping the CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Week 15 NFL Picks

It’s most certainly depressing to be writing a weekly football column and NOT making college football picks for the weekend.

But let’s be honest – it hasn’t been a good football season for me by any stretch of the imagination. UofA stunk, my NFL picks have been horrible, my fantasy football teams have underachieved and overall I’m more ready than usual for the offseason.

Week 15 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Week 14 NFL Picks

It’s Championship Weekend in college football…where the conferences’ best are cemented and playoff dreams are made or die. I’ll give my predictions on what to expect this weekend below. in the BOLD PREDICTION area.
In the meantime, I’d like to use this space to address why I’ve changed my opinion over the last week and now support my alma mater, Arizona in keeping its head coach, Kevin Sumlin.

Week 14 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Week 13 NFL Picks

There is nothing like the pageantry of a rivalry game in college football. Sorry Duke-UNC college basketball, Yankees-Red Sox, Bears-Packers, Leafs-Canadiens…I’ll take Ohio State-Michigan or Auburn-Alabama any day.

College football games make for fun and entertainment; rivalry games make for memories.

Week 12 NFL Picks

It’s a common theme on The Daily Blender that I call for coaches to be fired when they aren’t cutting it. Hell, if you and I didn’t do our jobs well and we were overpaid, not to mention in the public eye, we would face major scrutiny as well!

Week 11 NFL Picks

Week 10 NFL Picks

We’re a little more than halfway through the NFL season and what have we learned? New England may be the best team in the league (and yes they still are after the loss to Baltimore) but the competition may not be as far behind as many, including me would’ve thought last week. It’s also been a weird year picking games…I’ve done better recently but for a few weeks there, I picked more losers than winners.
