Cowherd shared his predictions for the weekend in his “Blazin’ 5” section on Friday’s “The Herd.”

Here are Cowherd’s prime picks, accompanied by odds and win totals as offered by FOX Bet.

Blazin’ 5: Fade Patriots, decide Lions and Steelers

Colin Cowherd shares his Blazin’ 5 picks for Week 14.

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions (-2)

Cowherd’s decide, rating prediction: Lions -2 (Lions win 28-24)

Colin’s ideas: They’ve gained 4 of their final 5 video games. Jared Goff is within the longest stretch of his profession with out an interception — 4 video games. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jamaal Williams … they’re taking part in nicely, they usually’re excellent at house. The Vikings protection, in the meantime, has gone into the tank since Week 10. It’s terrible in all places. Kirk Cousins isn’t the identical man on the highway. He’s thrown seven TDs and 7 interceptions.

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (-2)

Cowherd’s decide, rating prediction: Steelers -2 (Steelers win 24-20)

Colin’s ideas: Coming off back-to-back wins for the primary time this season, the Steelers are 4-1 when T.J. Watt performs. They haven’t had a giveaway in a month … 4 video games. That’s huge for Kenny Pickett. The Ravens are damaged offensively. You return to 2020 in video games the place Lamar [Jackson] does not play, they’re 1-5. He is the sting they want. They’ve additionally develop into very turnover inclined — 5 turnovers within the final three video games.

Lamar Jackson’s harm is devastating

Nick Wright believes Lamar Jackson’s newest harm hurts the Ravens greater than the quarterback even with Jackson in a contract yr.

Cleveland Browns (+5.5) at Cincinnati Bengals

Cowherd’s decide, rating prediction: Browns +5.5. (Bengals win 28-27)

Colin’s ideas: Kevin Stefanski is 5-0 in opposition to Cincinnati. This crew is working the soccer — back-to-back video games with 170-plus speeding yards and eight video games this yr with 170-plus speeding yards, which is probably the most within the NFL. Their offense this season, in relation to huge performs and speeding, is surprisingly good. Joe Burrow is 0-4 in opposition to the Browns. It’s a divisional sport. Tee Higgins is damage. These divisional video games all the time really feel shut. I nonetheless suppose Cincinnati wins, however I’m going to take the factors in a divisional sport with Cleveland.

Carolina Panthers (+4.5) at Seattle Seahawks

Cowherd’s decide, rating prediction: Panthers +4.5 (Panthers win 24-23)

Colin’s ideas: The Panthers are coming off a bye and their protection is wholesome and taking part in nicely. They’ve held opponents to fifteen factors or fewer in three straight video games. If you go since Week 10 and take a look at the Seahawks protection, it is dangerous and getting worse. Carolina’s is sweet and getting higher. The Seahawks have misplaced two of three and have been fortunate to beat the Rams. Kenneth Walker is out, and DeeJay Dallas, his backup, is damage. They won’t be able to manage the road of scrimmage, they usually’ll want Geno Smith to throw with out a run sport.

New England Patriots at Arizona Cardinals (+2.5)

Cowherd’s decide, rating prediction: Cardinals +2.5 (Cardinals win 27-20)

Colin’s ideas: Coming off a bye, Kyler Murray is getting more healthy. DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown will play in simply their second sport collectively. By the way in which, the Patriots offense was restricted, and it has been a BB gun since Week 7. They’re 0-6 this yr when the opponent scores 20-plus factors. The Patriots offense since Week 7 is averaging 4.9 yards per play. Since Week 7, they’ve seven touchdowns. That’s it! Mac Jones within the final 5 video games has been sacked 20 instances. So, they do not have weapons on the surface. The offensive line has regressed. Mac Jones has misplaced confidence. Arizona is at house. I’m going to take Arizona. This New England crew isn’t good. Maybe they want Baker Mayfield.
