Bill Simmons went 2-1 on his best bets and 7-6 overall in his week 9 NFL picks.  Way to bounce back from the 2-9-1 debacle in week 8.  If you only take his best bets, he actually has been doing very well with 15-8-2 record, making that a solid 65% winning percentage.  As usual, Simmons starts off the week with this Thursday pick and the rest of the picks to come later.
