Brenton Strange gets the spotlight in Jaguars vs Ravens, while Travis Kelce, Trey McBride and a deeply unsexy Kyle Pitts pick lead the NFL Week 9 player props. Stephie Smalls and Ryan McKee break down Thursday Night Football best bets and early Sunday receiving yards, receptions and touchdown angles for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. Add Minshew Mania, backup-quarterback misery and a tight end parlay that keeps growing, and we’ve got ourselves a show.

The Jacksonville Jaguars–Baltimore Ravens breakdown covers Brenton Strange’s receiving yards, longest reception and touchdown props; Zay Flowers receptions; Josh Cuevas’ receiving outlook; and Trevor Lawrence passing touchdowns. Justice Hill draws interest without an official pick, and Bhayshul Tuten’s injury discussion somehow turns into the birth of the “Tooth Fairy.”

Sunday’s card features Kyle Pitts against the Cincinnati Bengals, Trey McBride’s connection with Gardner Minshew, Greg Dulcich against the Detroit Lions, Colston Loveland’s opportunity with Cole Kmet sidelined, and Travis Kelce against the New York Jets. Chuba Hubbard and Bryce Young take us to Checkdown City as the Carolina Panthers face the Denver Broncos, with Hubbard’s Green Bay Packers targets part of the discussion. Gunnar Helm, Brock Bowers, T.J. Hockenson and Rashee Rice also enter the matchup and usage debates.

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback conversation covers Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck, plus Michael Wilson and the Dallas Cowboys recap. There’s also a New York Giants detour, a Tennessee Titans cover to revisit and Jacksonville’s Indianapolis Colts game to discuss. The Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders round out the schedule and matchup conversation.

The New York Giants have Stephie Smalls thinking division title—but how much confidence does she have in the quarterbacks? Stephie and Ryan debate the NFC East race, Jameis Winston, J.J. McCarthy’s defenders, and what’s going wrong with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Listener questions dig into Tyrone Tracy’s role in the Giants’ backfield, building around Jaxson Dart, Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Texans, and the NFL’s double standards on accountability. There’s also NFL Draft talk, including the Jeremiah Smith scenario Stephie wants nowhere near her division.

Plus, Knicks and NBA opening-week reactions, Jayson Tatum’s parlay damage, and the NFL teams surprising the hosts. Ask Smalls Anything #23 starts with life updates, gumbo plans, yoga-class drama, and a little Twitter nonsense before getting into football.

Recorded before NFL Week 7 Sunday’s games for a Monday release; predictions and matchup discussion reflect the conversation at recording time.
