Colin Cowherd· May 6, 2026
The guest (unnamed in the transcript, Speaker 3) took the over on the Bears at 9.5, arguing Caleb Williams' second year in Ben Johnson's system brings double-digit wins, and said he would not bet against Andy Reid with a healthy Mahomes on Kansas City's 10.5-win total.
“So I think their offense is going to bring them to double digit wins this year.”
