    simmons's jets is the schrodingers cat of the nfl

    simultaneously not a legit team, a reason to go under on the bills, but not a reason to go under on the pats or dolphins

    is Steven Ruiz the biggest hack Bill has ever employed on one of his sites?

    I enjoyed Bill pivoting from his "is Daniel Jones better than Jalen Hurts?" take before the divisional round in January to the "is Daniel Jones better than Dak Prescott?" take I just listened to on his NFC over/unders pod with Sal

    Travis Kelce is now in the LeBron spot of getting all sorts of random negs. Dallas Goedert is the best all around TE in the league? What??

    Bill acting more like a hot take artist more than ever these days with the NFL. perhaps he will simmer down once games actually start happening and he isn't just firing off hopeful takes that allow Pats and Steelers to meet in AFC title game

    the "LET'S GO" Schrager yells out after Bill says one of the dumbest things in punditry history is an all-time ass kissing move. Lamar, Josh Allen, Lawrence, Rodgers and Herbert definitely missing the playoffs and Deshaun, Pickett, Tua, Mac Jones, and Tannehill will make it instead. Definitely not a QB league or anything. And definitely not wishful thinking on behalf of Bill that 5 teams better than the pats somehow finish under .500

    Has there been any Redditor with too much time on their hands that’s kept track of when Bill says “ohh that’s too low/high” when Sal reads off a line? I swear you could make a living fading Bill when he says that

    His record has to be horrible in all situations based on how his results last year went, right? Wasn't he on pace to lose well into 7 figures if he didn't start cheating to taking on more fake bets to try to make up for his massive early losses? Or am I thinking of someone else?

    he actually did great on the Over/Unders but yeah in MDP he got obliterated but he always just bets more fake money until he's back to even

    I remember one season he was down almost double and bet something like 2.5 million on the Pats moneyline against the Texans, totally shameless

    anytime a team like the Lions or Jets gets positive buzz heading into a season he feels the need to "zag" that way he can brag about how he was the only one right if they underperform

    Bill mentioning how multi box Sunday ticket was a game changer in terms of increasing his knowledge of the league. Right after talking about niners/Steelers and not mentioning Aiyuk.

    Bill later in the pod getting schooled by Sal on how desk guys are paid (# of lines determines their rate) during TV halftime shows. After questioning why Watt didn’t talk more at halftime, which is something a non industry person would ask

    My comments are usually made out of incredulity that this successful guy seemingly knows so little about the industries that made him successful.

    I got onto Bill relatively later than most in the thread so I always wonder if he was as much of a dumbass in like 2003 as 2023.

    During my workout I tried to listen to Bill and Sa but after 10 minutes it was just awful. I don’t care about his spreads and Luka Bratza bet. Robert Mays and Nate Tice are so much better it’s comical.
