NFL Week 10 brought out the chaos gremlins of the NFL, and honestly, I’m thriving. This week on The Stephie Smalls Show, Producer Ryan and I kicked things off the only way we know how—overthinking our Circa Million picks and pretending that makes us professionals. We landed on a few spicy sides that had “public fade” written all over them, but sometimes you just have to embrace the ugly. I said it live on the show: “If it feels gross, it’s probably sharp.”
Then my friend Jared Smith from Fox Sports Radio jumped in, and suddenly we were deep in prop world. Jared’s a numbers guy—he sees spreadsheets where I see chaos—and that’s exactly why I love having him on. He dropped some of his favorite Week 10 player props, like Jonathan Taylor’s rushing yards against a defense softer than day-old churros, and Dalton Schultz’s receiving line that looked suspiciously low. We argued, we laughed, and at one point, I may have called him a coward for fading my longshot TD pick. That’s the kind of energy this show lives for.
After Jared signed off, Producer Ryan rejoined for Extra Holes, our post-game nonsense segment where stats take a backseat to pure football absurdity. He brought back Shanks, a roundup of the weekend’s funniest moments—from botched celebrations to the kind of field goal attempts that make you question humanity. It’s not exactly “analytical,” but it’s good for the soul and the bankroll.
If you’re new to The Stephie Smalls Show, think of it like your favorite sportsbook meetup with better hair. We mix sharp bets with dumb jokes, football with chaos, and somehow it works. Week 10’s props gave us some of the best value of the season, but even if the bets don’t cash, the laughs always do.
Catch the full replay on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts—then come tell me which prop you’re sweating next week. I’ll be the one yelling at the TV with a spreadsheet in one hand and a snack in the other.
