Jaguars vs. Ravens on Thursday Night Football has the energy of a mandatory work dinner. Fortunately, Stephie Smalls and Ryan McKee found some player props worth showing up for.
On The Stephie Smalls Show, the NFL Week 9 betting conversation quickly becomes a tight end support group. Nobody’s seeking help. Everybody’s adding another leg.
Brenton Strange leads the Thursday card. Ryan likes over 33.5 receiving yards and an anytime touchdown at +250. Stephie prefers over 15.5 yards on his longest reception. One catch, assignment completed. Beautiful when nobody makes it complicated.
Ryan also targets Zay Flowers over 4.5 receptions at +115 and Trevor Lawrence over 1.5 passing touchdowns.
Sunday brings Kyle Pitts over 40.5 receiving yards against Cincinnati. This isn’t a long-term commitment to Kyle Pitts. It’s a one-game situationship with a favorable matchup.
The tight end obsession continues with Trey McBride over 6.5 receptions, Greg Dulcich over 37.5 receiving yards, Colston Loveland over 50.5, and Travis Kelce over 45.5. Gardner Minshew’s connection with McBride gets particular attention. The mustache changes addresses; the tight ends still get mail.
For positional diversity, Stephie adds Chuba Hubbard over 16.5 receiving yards against Denver. Welcome to Checkdown City, where the passes are short and the receiving yards count just the same.
Listen to the full episode with Ryan McKee on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network for the matchup breakdowns, Minshew Mania, and a parlay that probably needs adult supervision.
Lines and odds reflect the November 4, 2026 episode.
