THE HERD - Hour 1 - Bills are failing Josh Allen, Steelers-Bears preview, the Lakers have cleaned house

Colin’s top takes of the week.  First, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the NFL action. They start with the Broncos beating the Chiefs to blow the AFC West race wide open & they credit Sean Payton for building a stacked roster while still paying  big dead cap money to Russell Wilson, and debate whether the Chiefs dynasty is officially over (3:30). They move to the Rams win over the Seahawks and Colin argues that if the roles were reversed and Matt Stafford had thrown 4 interceptions instead of Sam Darnold…. the game wouldn’t have been close, and they agree the Rams have Darnold’s number (16:45). They pivot to the Bears walk-off win over the Vikings and they both agree that J.J. McCarthy does NOT look like a starting quarterback, and that the contrast between McCarthy and Caleb Williams could not be more stark.They also tip their cap to Ben Johnson for creating a winning culture in Chicago (30:00) and give kudos to both Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy for hanging 41 on the Cardinals in Purdy’s first game back from injury (36:45). Then, Colin Cowherd is joined by Josh Pate to discuss the latest in College Football. They start off with this weekend's big matchup between USC & Oregon. They give their takes on who will win and the state of USC 43:45). They give their Mount Rushmore of College Football jobs (50:45) and debate whether Ohio State has an all-time great defense this season (58:00) and which teams would test the Buckeyes the most (1:03:00).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
