I have decided to track Bill Simmons NFL predictions for the 2016-17 season. On Wednesday Bill released a NFL betting preview podcast with Cousin Sal and Joe House. They each made a variety of predictions including division winners, season win totals, and futures. To keep things simple I have decided to split them up into different articles. Here are Bill Simmons NFL futures for the 2016-17 season.

Things got less structured at this part of the podcast so it is hard to know who was serious about what. Bill Simmons did seem interested in taking the special prop on one team to reach 14 or more wins at +200 odds.
New Podcast Date
On today’s season preview podcast Bill Simmons announced that his NFL weekly betting podcast with Cousin Sal where they attempt to guess the lines has been moved from Monday to Thursday (with the show being recorded on Wednesday).
