Colin Cowherd Claims Lamar Jackson ‘Regressed,’ Says Take the Under for Ravens’ Win Total<\/p>\n

Expectations for the 2026 Ravens are high. Their over\/under win total of 11.5 is tied for the highest in the league with the Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams, per DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/a><\/p>\n

FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd, however, isn’t as enthusiastic about the Ravens as the oddsmakers. He said he’s taking the under.<\/p>\n

“You know how hard it is to win 12 games in [the AFC North]?” Cowherd said on \u201cThe Herd with Colin Cowherd.\u201d<\/a> “They’ve got a new head coach. The Ravens have a new offensive coordinator. They have a new defensive coordinator. And you and I all watched Lamar Jackson last year. He regressed. His rushing numbers went down to less than 30 yards a game. \u2026 They were 8-9 last year.”<\/p>\n

Cowherd went on to say that the Ravens have a difficult stretch between Weeks 7-14 that includes games against the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

Cowherd is correct in that winning 12 games is difficult, but the Ravens won 12 in 2024 and 13 in 2023. Injuries certainly played a part in the Ravens taking a step back last season.<\/p>\n

Jackson, in particular, was banged up for a good portion of the season and missed four games. With injuries to his hamstring, knee, ankle, and toe, it’s no surprise that Jackson ran less frequently and effectively.<\/p>\n

Jackson still threw the ball well. His 103.8 rating was fourth in the league and the third-highest of his career. So saying Jackson regressed if off base.<\/p>\n

“I know what he is as a thrower,” Yahoo! Sports’ Nate Tice said on \u201cThe Mina Kimes Show.\u201d<\/a> “So even if he’s aging as a runner, and you can tell that he was banged up last year, he’s still great.”<\/p>\n

By all accounts, Jackson is in a good place physically and mentally, and he is excited about the new coaching staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colin Cowherd Claims Lamar Jackson ‘Regressed,’ Says Take the Under for Ravens’ Win Total Expectations for the 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714054,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[257,2593,17263,14382,2589,349,99],"class_list":["post-714053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-general","tag-homepage-latest-headlines","tag-inline-news","tag-lamar-jackson","tag-late-for-work","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
