New York Giants 2026 Preview and Best Bets with Ryan Kramer | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 262)

Is it finally reasonable to believe in the New York Giants again?

Stephie Smalls welcomes Sports Gambling Podcast co-host and lifelong Giants fan Ryan Kramer for a logically optimistic preview of the 2026 season.

They explain why last year’s four-win season may have quietly established the foundation for a major turnaround. Stephie and Kramer discuss the flashes Jaxson Dart showed as a rookie, the arrival of John Harbaugh and how a more aggressive defensive system could unlock Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and the rest of New York’s pass rush.

They also examine the departure of Dexter Lawrence, the Giants’ improved depth, the offensive line’s surprisingly strong outlook and why the secondary could take a major step forward under Denard Wilson.

Then it is time for the bets. Stephie and Kramer break down the Giants’ 7.5-win total, Harbaugh’s Coach of the Year odds, Abdul Carter’s Defensive Player of the Year case, Jaxson Dart’s rushing touchdown prop, Cam Skattebo’s upside and a potential wager on New York leading the NFL in sacks.

Plus, they identify late-round Giants stacks for fantasy football, predict how the NFC East will finish and explain why Giants fans need to stop feeling sorry for Daniel Jones.
