The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Six-Pack, Belichick to UNC, and Million-Dollar Picks

Right. I mean, they they they handled the Raiders because Aiden O'Connell broke his leg. Like, you know, there's a bunch of wins. Now, again, you win. You got to play the games under in front of you on your schedule. Congrats to them. But brutal spot. What's the status of Bucky Irving? That will impact the handicap. And then what's the status? McConkie was running drills on Wednesday.

So I started saying, well, this is part of why I went ahead and got down a little bit on that Chargers minus three. But you can't have Herbert under any circumstances impaired at all because what Tampa has been doing these last three weeks very successfully against bad teams is blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz. They've greatly increased their blitz rate, and it's been successful.

Well, the Colts are, you know, sort of hovering around. Interesting matchup against the Broncos. But I understand your point with this Dolphins team. I just can't unsee what the Jets did to them. It looked like, you know, Devontae Adams was open on every play. It looked like Wilson was open on every play. Nine-yard outs over and over again. I just... And the...

Yes, yes. They put him on an island and they just cooked him. The Houston Texans do not deserve to be trusted, but I think we finally might be in a situation where you outlined it properly. We're not laying a ton of points. They're at home. It's off the by. We're dying for a C.J. Stroud game.

And, you know, we saw a version of Houston at the beginning of the season where Joe Mixon was super effective. Like, oh, look at this. This Houston team might be an 11 or 12 win team. They went through their injuries and stuff. Their offensive line is the issue. They can't really be trusted. But I like the spot for Houston. I'm in your direction on this.
