If you thought Mercury being “in Gatorade” was the weirdest thing this week, welcome to my life. On the latest episode of The Stephie Smalls Show, I went full NFL-nerd with my guy Rod Villagomez to preview the San Francisco 49ers’ 2025 season. And let me tell you, my confidence in this team is currently on the same rollercoaster as Brock Purdy’s passing props. Are the 49ers smashing that 10.5 win total? Or will I be staring at my Circa betting slip like it’s my toxic ex?
Rod and I dive deep into all things Niners betting odds, from Christian McCaffrey’s rushing yards line (950.5) to whether the Rams or Seahawks are actually scary, or just the NFC West’s loud neighbors who show up uninvited. Spoiler alert: I’ve got a “CMC curse,” so if I draft him in fantasy football this year, it’s over for everyone.
Then we switch gears and hop across the pond with Larry from Tom & Marty’s for an Open Championship recap. Scottie Scheffler did his thing (again), Rory McIlroy had a midlife crisis haircut, and Twitter golf fans were crying that “he’s not Tiger.” No, but he’s winning me money, so maybe chill? We even sprinkle in some betting plays for the 3M Open, because sleep is for people who don’t love parlays.
Finally, I unleash my alter ego: Seltzie Smalls. Yes, I taste-tested hard seltzers with Larry, and yes, I judged them like I’m on a reality TV panel. Some of these cans should be banned.
Oh, and we’ve got a massive NFL futures contest! Drop your favorite bet, and you could win $50 in Circa futures, show swag, or a Zoom call with me. Don’t sleep on this one—unlike my 49ers optimism, it’s actually guaranteed to pay off.
