It’s just another day in sports radio when Colin Cowherd offers a bold prediction. On Thursday, the FOX Sports Radio host claimed the Baltimore Ravens are going 16-0 on their way to a Super Bowl victory.
“Baltimore is going to go 16-0, fly through the playoffs and win the Super Bowl,” Cowherd said during his weekday radio show.
Cowherd believes there are three great rosters in the NFL, pointing to San Francisco, Kansas City and Baltimore, but he gives the Ravens the edge because of the adversity and criticisms Lamar Jackson has faced throughout his early career.
“The Ravens are the two scariest things in football — stacked and pissed,” Cowherd said after offering one of his original analogies, citing a study of 300 millionaires which showed 40% of them are dyslexic. Cowherd compared those millionaires overcoming dyslexia to the Ravens and Jackson overcoming doubters on their way to a perfect season.
The Ravens went 14-2 last season and have a 23-year old MVP quarterback to lead their offense. Yes the Ravens are stacked, yes they’re one of the favorites in Vegas to win the Super Bowl, but a perfect season? Predicting a Super Bowl for the Ravens isn’t outlandish, but it’s been almost half a century since the Dolphins had their perfect season in 1972.
