A take from The Bill Simmons Podcast · Sep 10, 2026
- The Texans beat the Bills
“i think they're gonna win”
100%This is a binary outright-win claim on a single linkable game, so the automatic win rule settles it exactly. The spread hedge is excluded by definition.
How it’s graded: Correct if the Houston Texans (NFL:HOU) score more points than the Buffalo Bills (NFL:BUF) in their Week 1 2026 NFL regular-season game, with overtime included. Incorrect if the Bills win or the game ends in a tie. The +7.5 point-spread hedge is not graded. The take is the outright win he states. Source: Official final score of the Texans-Bills Week 1 2026 game from the NFL's official gamebook or NFL.com, or ESPN as a fallback.. Settles: When the Week 1 2026 Texans-Bills game goes final, including any overtime. Expected about Sept 13-14, 2026. If the game is postponed, it settles when the rescheduled game goes final. If it is cancelled and never played, the take is voided..
