PGA Best Bets and NFL Draft Mayhem | Stephie Smalls Show 4.21.26

MYBOOKIE BONUS

This episode was one of those perfect storms where two completely different worlds somehow blend into one chaotic, beautiful mess… golf betting and NFL Draft insanity.

I kicked things off with my guy Sam Wagman, who might be one of the only humans alive who genuinely appreciates Zurich Classic week. And honestly, he convinced me. We broke down why this event is so weird, why chemistry matters more than talent, and why you can’t just blindly bet the best golfers. We got into pairings like Brooks Koepka and Shane Lowry, Smalley and Springer, and some deep dart throws that only make sense if you’ve truly embraced the chaos of team golf. It’s one of those tournaments where you either lean into the randomness… or it buries you.

Then we pivoted HARD into NFL Draft mode with Anand Nanduri, and things immediately got unhinged—in the best way. He’s boots on the ground in Pittsburgh, and you can feel it. The energy, the rumors, the absolute nonsense flying around this time of year… it’s all real.

We dug into everything: why Arizona at 3 is the pivot point of the entire draft, why teams like the Rams are being way too quiet (which is never a good sign), and how names like Jeremiah Love, Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, and Sonny Styles could completely flip the board. Anand also broke down why this class is so weird—there aren’t many sure things, which means teams might panic, reach, or do something completely insane.

And honestly? That’s what I want.

Give me trades. Give me chaos. Give me a team doing something that makes everyone go “what the hell just happened?”

Because between Zurich betting and the NFL Draft, this is peak “embrace the madness” season.

And I am fully leaning in.
