We documented Bill Simmons’ NFL picks last week in its own post.  He picked a solid 8 winner out of 14 while hitting his best bet the Dolphins.  The sports guy used to be much more entertaining when he had his ESPN column.  Gotta love his wiseguy humorous writeups for each match up from back in the ESPN/Grantland days.

Update: You can find all of the latest Bill Simmons’ NFL picks here
