Christmas came early this year, and instead of coal, I brought you NFL Christmas Day player props, Week 17 best bets, and absolute nonsense with producer and comedian Ryan McKee joining me on The Stephie Smalls Show. If you like sharp betting angles served with jokes, mild chaos, and very strong opinions about rushing attempts, you’re in the right place. Ryan hopped in for a full breakdown of the Christmas Day NFL slate, and yes—he came prepared, caffeinated, and ready to argue with math.
We kicked things off with NFL Christmas Day player props, diving into spots we actually feel good about (which is rare and magical). We broke down Jahmyr Gibbs props from every angle imaginable, talked Aaron Jones rushing attempts and longest rush bets, and found upside in big-play markets with names like George Pickens, Troy Franklin, Deebo Samuel, and Rashee Rice. There was also plenty of discussion around Dak Prescott passing yards and how certain game scripts could turn these props into absolute Christmas miracles.
After that, we shifted gears into NFL Week 17 against-the-spread picks, because nothing says holiday cheer like arguing about spreads. We ran through key matchups including Saints vs Titans, Texans vs Chargers, Cardinals vs Bengals, Giants vs Raiders, and more—talking motivation, line movement, and which teams are lying to us with their recent performances. If you’re building a Week 17 betting card or just want smarter context before placing a wager, this episode covers it.
Bottom line: this show has NFL betting picks, player prop breakdowns, Christmas Day gambling angles, and Week 17 ATS analysis, all wrapped in a fun, slightly unhinged package. Ryan McKee brought the comedy brain, I brought the spreadsheets, and together we tried to make your betting decisions just a little less reckless. You’re welcome—and Merry Bet-mas. 🎄🏈
