Zach Wilson is completely lost mentally and is likely irredeemable

Zach Wilson is so bad. ... he can't, I don't think he, he's redeemable at this point because you've now benched him twice for two different quarterbacks. ... I think Zach Wilson is completely lost. ... he's, he's completely lost mentally.

Wilson was benched for Chris Streveler in this game and later lost the starting job permanently as the Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers.

The Jaguars are going to the playoffs

The Jaguars are going to the playoffs, like, I'm gonna say it right now, the Jaguars are going to the playoffs because they just went and they beat the Cowboys and the Jets back to back weeks... I think the Jaguars are going to the playoffs.

The Jaguars won the AFC South in Week 18 to make the playoffs.

I could have made some of the throws Zach Wilson missed against the Jaguars

I was watching the fucking game and looking at concepts that I ran in high school that he was reading wrong. I'm serious. And I like my arm talent. It's not fucking pro arm talent, but I could have made some throws and just get it to guy to make play.

Billy is a former high school quarterback; comparing himself to an active NFL starter is inherently hyperbolic and subjective.

The Bengals will beat the Patriots because Matt Patricia is a demoralizing coordinator

This is entirely the Patriots. Our joke, there's season's over demoralized. Matt Patricia's still the offensive coordinator. ... So why not just fire him now? ... it literally cannot [get] worse.

The Bengals won 22-18, beating the 3-point spread.

The Saints and Browns will go over the 32-point total despite historically bad weather

I'm going lowest to the low. Ground Saints 32. Deshaun Watson unders have been the easiest bet since he started three, three easy unders. He's due for an over. And weather doesn't matter.

The final score was 17-10 (27 points), meaning the game went under.

I will give Billy $10,000 if the Buccaneers beat the Cardinals 14-12 exactly

I will give you $10,000 if that's what happens in this case... 14 or 15 to 12 Bucks. Beat the Cardinals. Yes. For $20,000. Christmas.

The Buccaneers won 19-16 in overtime.

Michael Penix Jr. has a stronger arm than Josh Allen

Michael Penix was convinced to come back to Washington... he's not Josh Allen as far as total overall skillset as far as the size. But as far as arm strength is concerned, this kid might have a stronger arm than Josh Allen. ... you can't believe a human is able to throw a football that hard on a line like that.

This is a matter of biomechanics and scouting opinion, though Josh Allen's arm strength is legendary in the NFL.

Ohio State is being written off as a bad team prematurely after the Michigan loss

I think that there's been a large overreaction to Ohio State losing to Michigan. I think that Ohio State suddenly sucks in the mind of a lot of people because they lost to Michigan two years in a row. ... I think the Buckeyes are still very good. They could win this game [against Georgia].

Ohio State lost 42-41 to Georgia in a game that came down to a missed field goal, proving they were indeed very competitive.

Ryan Day is effectively on the hot seat if Ohio State gets blown out by Georgia

I think this game's really important for Ryan Day. ... I don't think they have to win it, but I think if they get blown out after coming off the Michigan [loss]... he's kind on the hot seat now. ... You can't lose to Michigan if you're the Ohio State coach. Not anymore.

Day remained the coach after a narrow loss to Georgia, though pressure intensified further in 2023 after another loss to Michigan.

The Tulane vs. USC game is a lock to go over the point total

My favorite bet, honestly, the over in Tulane USC. ... Way too low. They're gonna get in seventies for this one.

Tulane won 46-45, for a total of 91 points, easily clearing the total in the low 60s.
