For those who’ve followed The Sports Guy over the years at ESPN.com and now at Grantland (and I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t), Bill Simmons is always a funny/witty/worthy read and his latest NFL column is no different — even if he does pick the Chiefs to finish with five wins on the season. He has the Chargers winning the AFC West.
As for this week’s picks, Simmons has the Buffalo Bills will cover the spread this week with a “bold prediction” that reads “By April 2012, Todd Haley will be the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets.” If KC endures that kind of season in 2011, everyone in Kansas City will be miserable. At least Simmons might be around to make it more tolerable.
