Not winning 40 games, huh? It’s time for FS1’s Colin Cowherd to eat some crow.
And wear a Philadelphia 76ers jersey.
Prior to the start of the season, Las Vegas’ over/under line for wins for Philadelphia was 40 and Cowherd emphatically stated that they weren’t going to get to that number. Following the Sixers’ 119-105 victory over the lowly Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, they just reached it. They also jumped up to the No. 4 seed in the process. Here’s Cowherd’s take from October.

The show’s twitter account also put out this tweet.

A Sixers fan by the name of Andrew Maguire (@DrewEvo) replied to the tweet and made a bet with Cowherd, saying that he’d have to wear a Sixers jersey and admit he was wrong if the Sixers got to the 40-win plateau.
Cowherd agreed.
If this team wins 40 games u wear a sixers Jersey n say u was wrong on ur show

Joel Embiid, who liked Maguire’s tweet, took to Twitter to voice his thoughts on Cowherd following the Sixers’ victory Wednesday.

Cowherd says he’s “doing his best” to find a Sixers jersey in Los Angeles, but “can’t find one.” SURE!
Looking everywhere in LA for Sixers jersey. Can’t find one. So frustrating. Really wanted to pay off the bet. Well, maybe next time.

At least he congratulated Philadelphia I guess.
Congrats on 40 wins. Next up, LeBron #TTP pic.twitter.com/vVk3NqeHay

We’ll see if he is able to locate a Sixers jersey by Thursday’s show.
