Picks day carried the week. Colin Cowherd's Week 4 Blazin' 5, five NFL games from Colts-Commanders to Broncos-49ers, became the channel's most watched new upload, and it is still the video gathering views fastest. It is more than a list of picks: Greg Cosell of NFL Films comes on to break down the best of Week 3, Chiefs-Raiders gets its own stop, and Jason McIntyre joins for the rest of the slate.

The comment section has its own agenda. The most liked question is about a ringing noise somewhere in the audio, several viewers tease Colin for finding a Justin Herbert excuse in every segment, and a few note with approval that the music is back for the reveals.

It was a busy run of fifteen uploads. Dallas trading for Joey Porter Jr. from Pittsburgh got a full reaction, with Chris Long joining and Colin refusing to give up on Drake Maye. Joel Klatt came by to ask whether Arch Manning needs another year at Texas and whether Curt Cignetti's Indiana can repeat. And with Colin away, JMac and Rachel Nichols took the Steelers' loss to the Browns, a one-day-old episode already moving almost as quickly as the picks.

The channel as a whole is running at well over twice its usual daily views, around 800,000 a day. Among the similar-sized sports channels, that puts it in step with NFL Films and CBS Sports, while SPORTSNET and The Rich Eisen Show are having bigger weeks still.
