The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2026 NFL season with a new coaching staff, a wide-open NFC South and one enormous question at quarterback: Will Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. lead the offense?

Sports Illustrated senior betting editor and Bacon Bets Podcast host Iain MacMillan joins Stephie Smalls for a complete Atlanta Falcons 2026 preview. They break down Kevin Stefanski’s arrival, Matt Ryan’s new front-office role, the Tua-Penix competition and whether Atlanta’s roster is too talented to finish below its projected win total.

Stephie and Iain also discuss the best Falcons futures and player props, including Atlanta over 6.5 wins, Kevin Stefanski for Coach of the Year and Bijan Robinson’s receiving-yard and touchdown totals. On the fantasy football side, they examine Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Jahan Dotson and rookie sleeper Zachariah Branch before making their final Falcons record predictions.

Plus, Iain shares two Open Championship bets and explains why talking through the Falcons for 30 minutes has somehow made him optimistic again. Being a Falcons fan remains a highly experimental form of therapy.

The 2026 Open Championship is here, and Stephie Smalls is joined by sports gambling expert and show favorite Sam Wagman to break down their best bets for the final major of the year.

Stephie and Sam examine Royal Birkdale’s firm and fast conditions, dangerous closing stretch and the skills golfers will need to survive four rounds of links golf. Then they reveal their favorite finishing-position bets, head-to-head matchups, LIV golfer props, long shots and outright picks.

Stephie makes the case for Collin Morikawa to finish inside the Top 30, Morikawa over Shane Lowry in Round 1 and Robert MacIntyre to finish Top 20. Sam targets Joaquin Niemann as the top LIV golfer before unveiling a complete Sam Burns betting ladder—from Top 30 all the way to a 60/1 outright ticket.

Plus, they discuss Burns’ recent form, the Open Championship trend that nearly puts him among the tournament’s strongest contenders and why Scottie Scheffler may be preparing to ruin everyone’s fun once again.

Stephie Smalls is joined by Jake Hasan (@TheJakeHasan on X) for a full 2026 Tennessee Titans betting preview on The Stephie Smalls Show.

The Titans are coming off a 3-14 season, but the vibes are not fully buried in a shallow AFC South grave. Tennessee reset the organization, brought in Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll, and now heads into year two of the Cam Ward experience with actual weapons around him.

Stephie and Jake break down whether the Titans are a sneaky playoff team, why Saleh at 10/1 for Coach of the Year is very much alive, and how Tennessee’s win total connects to its playoff odds. They also get into season-long player props, including Wan’Dale Robinson’s receiving yard total, Calvin Ridley unders, and why Carnell Tate over 4.5 receiving touchdowns might be one of the cleanest rookie WR bets on the board.

Can Cam Ward take the leap? Can Saleh fix the defense? Can the Titans become fun before the rest of us emotionally prepare for it? Let’s yap.
