Colin Cowherd Podcast - Nick Wright Part...

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They react to the news that the NFL is planning more games for Christmas Day. Colin explains why he thinks the NFL sees weakness with the NBA and is trying to crush them (3:00) while Nick offers a competing theory as to why the NFL may have made a miscalculation (6:30).

They explain why you can’t be too emotionally invested or overexposed to a team in order to bet them effectively (12:30) and why Colin tries to stay completely objective while watching (16:30). 

They offer their picks for who will win the NBA Western Conference (23:15) and Nick lays out his reasons why the Lakers should want the Nuggets in the first round (25:30). Finally, Colin explains the biggest difference between LeBron James and Kevin Durant and what that’s meant to their postseason success. (30:00)
