Week 15 NFL Chaos Recap + Why Week 16 Feels Like a Trap | Stephie Smalls Show 12.16.25

If you’re wondering how NFL Week 15 went, let me put it this way: grown men were puking from nerves, kickers forgot how feet work, and the New York Giants continued their long-running performance art piece titled “Who’s Getting Fired This Week?”

On this episode of The Stephie Smalls Show, CJ Sullivan and I kicked things off with Weekend Dads & Duds, which is basically group therapy for people who thought they were sharp on Sunday morning. Kyle Pitts decided to casually have the best tight end game in 25 years, Josh Allen reminded us that MVPs are just humans with anxiety, and the Raiders… well… the Raiders generated 75 total yards and somehow still took the field with confidence. Inspirational, really.

Then we looked ahead to Week 16, where Vegas is doing that thing it does where the lines make you feel insane on purpose. Vikings vs Giants? Fishy. Titans catching points at home? Suspicious. The NFC South? A prank show. Meanwhile, the Rams are quietly terrifying, the Texans might actually be good-good, and several teams appear legally obligated to ruin your parlay at least once before Christmas.

We wrapped it up with player props and best bets, which is where CJ shines and I nod thoughtfully while pretending I didn’t already bet it five minutes earlier. It’s football chaos, betting logic, and emotional damage — exactly how December football is supposed to feel.

See you in Week 16. I’ll be the one yelling at the screen with “motherly instincts” and a spreadsheet.
