This week on The Stephie Smalls Show, we covered everything from Drake Maye’s breakout potential to Xander Schauffele’s sneaky Open Championship vibes — and yes, we even found a way to mention Cardi B and Belichick in the same sentence. You’re welcome.
We brought the football degenerates and the golf nerds together in beautiful harmony. Kind of like if you combined a hoodie and a blazer. Let’s recap the chaos (and maybe win you some bets).
🍀 New England Patriots 2025 Season Preview with Cody Zeeb
Our boy Cody Zeeb joined the show from The NASCAR Gambling Podcast (he’s not just good with ovals, folks) to preview the 2025 New England Patriots. With Jerod Mayo now fully in charge and Mike Vrabel looming like a jacked sideline ghost, we asked the big questions:
- Is Drake Maye the real deal?
- Can this coaching staff revive the offense?
- And how much does Stefon Diggs have left in the tank (besides his romance with Cardi B)?
🔥 Favorite Patriots Bets:
- Drake Maye Over 425.5 Rushing Yards – He ran for 421 in 12 games last year while running for his life. Now he’s got a line and Vrabel.
- TreVeyon Henderson to Win the Backfield – Stephie’s calling the fumble benching for Rhamondre by Week 5.
- Patriots Over 7.5 Wins – Cody says 9 wins is in play with the 3rd-easiest schedule in the league.
🎯 Fantasy Takeaways:
- Hunter Henry is your boring but reliable TE2.
- Pop Douglas is the sleeper of the century (also: elite nickname).
- Stefon Diggs Over 4.5 TDs is criminally low if Maye is decent.
- Also… Mac Jones, we wish you well on your future career as a very average backup in Carolina.
⛳ Open Championship 2025 Betting Preview with Malcolm Bamford
Then we crossed the Atlantic — and the IQ threshold — by bringing on Malcolm Bamford, golf expert and certified Scottish accent god. He previewed The Open Championship at Royal Portrush, broke down the weather patterns (because links golf is chaos), and gave out sharper picks than Rory’s cheekbones.
🧠 Betting Strategy from Malcolm:
- Scottish Open Form Matters – 9 of the last 13 Open winners played it the week before.
- Fade LIV Golfers – They were sipping sangria in Spain while the rest of the field battled the wind.
- Target Control Players – Elevated greens and wind mean long iron precision is king.
🏌️ Malcolm’s Top Picks:
- Rory McIlroy – Chalk, but form and vibes are immaculate.
- Xander Schauffele – Underrated, consistent, sneaky killer.
- Matt Fitzpatrick – Perfect for Portrush, and overpriced in the market.
- Ryan Fox – 29 on the back 9 in 2019? Say less.
- Justin Rose – Because if he wins and Malcolm didn’t bet him, he’d be inconsolable.
