Colin Cowherd prefers to stir the pot with his intriguing takes, which rarely any analyst dares venture into. The veteran FOX contributor’s recent hot take on the Dallas Cowboys vs. Miami Dolphins game is no different from his previous predictions.
Going into the heavyweight clash at Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins are favorites by 1.5 points to beat the Cowboys. Cowherd thinks otherwise. According to him, Miami looks great from the outside. They appear to be a strong team, but they lack in the player department compared to Dallas.
The Dolphins are a perfect representation of Miami. They are fun, exciting, flashy, and fake. Dallas is different. They can be physical. I have seen it. They can overwhelm you physically. They have a suffocating defense.
Cowherd said in the recent segment of FS1’s The Herd.
Besides the strength difference between the two teams, Cowherd asserted that Dallas has a few other things going for them that Miami doesn’t have. Take, for instance, head coach Mike McCarthy, the brilliant season Dak Prescott is producing, and an offensive line that can run down any opposition team it comes up against.
The difference between Miami and Dallas is that Dallas has multiple elements that Super Bowl-winning teams have had. A veteran offensive coach, not a kid genius [Mike McDaniel]. A Pro Bowl quarterback having his best year; a star game-changing wide receiver; an elite pass rusher and an excellent O-line– They have seven blowout wins, which is customary in the last decade for Super Bowl champions.
Cowherd kicked it up a notch by comparing the Dolphins to inferior-quality products, while the Cowboys are top-of-the-line.
Miami is a lot of fake tough guys. Fake Gucci bag, but the Cowboys have a real Gucci bag, and they actually are tough. There are a lot of things in Miami that are authentic and fake.
Colin Cowherd chose the Dallas Cowboys to win over the Miami Dolphins
It’s not a Colin Cowherd rant if he doesn’t put either the coach or a player on a pedestal. He switched his monologue to bashing Mike McDaniel. The Miami head coach, who has become a media sensation for his goofy on-field theatrics and passionate speeches, is one of the most likable coaches in the NFL.
However, Cowherd doesn’t see it that way. He argues that this is the difference between McCarthy and McDaniel. One has an immense social media presence, and the other barely ever sends out a tweet.
Mike McCarthy’s got a Super Bowl. He doesn’t have a Twitter account. He is boring. Miami is easier to like– Mike McDaniel is a hipster. You see his viral stuff and McCarthy; he can lose a few pounds and is boring. He is the most boring coach who is a good coach in the league.
"I think Dallas is going to blow them out. They're going to push them around… One team doesn't have to have a fake Gucci bag. They've got a real one."

He finally arrived at the subject matter of which team would win, and to him, the Dallas Cowboys are the clear favorites. Even though they have an awful away record (3-4) and lost to the Buffalo Bills at Orchard Park. On the other hand, the Dolphins had a resounding 30-0 victory over the New York Jets at home. But Cowherd Dallas will have a blowout win.
So I think Dallas is going to blow them out –They’re going to push them around — One team doesn’t have to have a fake Gucci bag. They’ve got a real one!
It is a tough game to call. Both are 10-4 for the season. But more importantly, this clash will see two teams with 10 wins each but have only won one game against a .500 rating team all season.
