Full Episode
The Bill Simmons Podcast is brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. We are also brought to you by The Ringer Podcast Network on the Prestige TV Podcast. I broke down the season finale of Task with Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney. We talked about where the show is pitted against some of the all-time great HBO shows. And...
We talked about whether the show's coming back because we thought this was going to be a series finale, but it seems like it's just a season finale. What is Tax Season 2 going to be? So we talked about all that stuff. If you get bored of us talking about it, you can listen to The Watch with Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald as well. New rewatch was coming on Monday night.
It's the last one for Redford Month. We did Quiz Show, me and Brian Koppelman. And that's it for Redford Month. Quiz Show is an awesome movie. Really, really highly recommend it. Love talking about it. So we're going to do a horror movie the next week. That's why we're cutting Redford Month short. We always try to do one horror movie. before we get to Halloween.
Speaking of horror movies, Cousin Sal and I are going to talk about Miami's performance in Cleveland, the Giants' loss in Denver, and a really fun, crazy day of games. A lot going on here. So we're going to take a break, bring in Pearl Jam, and then Cousin Sal talking Week 7 plus Guest Alliance. This is the Bill Simmons Podcast presented by FanDuel. If you're betting on the NFL...

We just watched a pretty crappy Sunday night Falcons-Niners game. Not crappy for you. It was good. It was good. It was your best bet.
I loved it. I'm very proud of myself. I feel like I pulled out that Denver game. We'll probably talk about that one, right, on the Moneyline. And then I doubled it up on my favorite pick, the San Francisco 49ers. I think I analyzed it right. First time, like, in six years.
I feel like I got everything right. We both had good ones this week because House and I went all in on that Browns to offense game. We went all in. We made it our lock of the year. Tua and wind and rain. We'll talk about that later. You watched all the Sunday games with the Ringer crew because we have a bunch of Ringer people in town.
