Stephie Smalls is joined by Will Parkinson, NFL analyst and host/producer of the Turn on the Jets podcast, for the 2026 New York Jets team preview on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network.
After a brutal three-win season, the Jets enter 2026 with a new-look roster, a veteran quarterback in Geno Smith, major offensive questions and a win total sitting at 5.5. But is the market too low on New York? Stephie and Will break down why the Jets may have a clearer path to improvement than people think, especially if Geno can simply provide league-average quarterback play.
The episode covers the Jets’ disastrous 2025 season, their lack of interceptions, the Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams trades, the offensive line, the young skill group, Frank Reich’s impact, Aaron Glenn’s pressure, and what New York needs from Geno Smith to stay competitive.
On the fantasy football side, Stephie and Will discuss Garrett Wilson’s target upside, Breece Hall’s role, Braylon Allen’s warning signs, Mason Taylor’s rebound case, and why rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq could become one of the more interesting late-round fantasy sleepers and touchdown props on the roster.
They also hit Jets win total bets, playoff odds, AFC East futures, David Bailey’s defensive rookie potential, and the early-season schedule path that could have New York near its over before the trade deadline.
