Football season is officially in full swing, and this episode of the Justin Time Sports Podcast covers everything you need to know heading into a loaded weekend of NFL and college football. We start with NFL Week 1 and react to the Seattle Seahawks’ 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots in the 2026 NFL Kickoff Game. New England led 10-0 before Seattle stormed back, while Drake Maye threw three fourth-quarter interceptions and the Seahawks found a way to win after Sam Darnold exited with an injury. What did we learn about both teams, and should Patriots fans be concerned after the opener? Then we turn our attention to the rest of NFL Week 1, previewing multiple matchups from around the league and discussing the teams, players, quarterbacks, and storylines that could define the opening weekend. Who starts the season with a statement win, which contenders could stumble early, and what should fans be watching as the road to the playoffs begins? NFL Topics: Patriots-Seahawks reaction, Drake Maye’s costly turnovers, Seattle’s comeback, NFL Week 1 game previews, key matchups to watch, early-season storylines, and Week 1 predictions. Then it’s time for a huge College Football Week 2. The weekend is headlined by No. 1 Ohio State traveling to No. 4 Texas in a massive Big Ten vs. SEC showdown with early College Football Playoff implications. We break down the Buckeyes, Longhorns, the pressure surrounding the matchup, and what a win could mean for both programs. Another major showdown features No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan. Oklahoma enters the matchup after a dominant Week 1 performance, while Michigan has questions to answer after struggling offensively in its opener. We discuss what each team needs to do to win and which program has more at stake in Week 2. College Football Topics: Ohio State vs. Texas preview, Oklahoma vs. Michigan preview, College Football Week 2 predictions, early CFP implications, and teams with the most to prove. Finally, we discuss the latest developments surrounding LSU and the SEC. The dispute over LSU’s attempt to add former NFL players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris escalated to the point that the SEC sought authority to potentially expel LSU from the conference. LSU has since said its roster is locked without adding the former NFL players, effectively backing away from the move that sparked the dispute. I give my thoughts on the entire situation: LSU’s approach, the SEC’s response, Lane Kiffin’s role, player eligibility, conference authority, and what this battle could mean for the rapidly changing future of college football.
