Week 1 of the college football season is officially in the books, and now the REAL questions begin.

Is LSU actually a national championship contender after destroying Clemson 51-10? Is Dabo Swinney officially on the hot seat? Did Miami just find a legitimate Heisman contender in Darian Mensah — and the most electric player in college football in Malachi Tony?

Plus, Michigan is already in trouble after a disastrous performance against Western Michigan, Oregon barely survives Boise State, and all eyes turn to the biggest game of Week 2: **Ohio State vs. Texas.**

James and Spencer break down everything we learned from Week 1, reveal their biggest buys and sells, debate the Heisman race, identify their Week 2 upset alerts, and make their picks for the biggest games of the weekend.

• LSU destroys Clemson 51-10 — is Dabo Swinney cooked?
• Miami's Darian Mensah and Malachi Tony explode in Week 1
• Can Miami actually compete for a national championship?
• Jeremiah Smith vs. Malachi Tony in the Heisman race
• Is Arch Manning still the Heisman favorite?

Football is officially BACK, but Spencer, James, and Dom have plenty to talk about before the NFL season kicks into full gear! 

On this episode of Big Game Energy, the guys debate whether you'd rather be a lifelong fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFL's all-time lowest winning-percentage franchise that has won two Super Bowls, or the Minnesota Vikings, one of the NFL's most successful franchises that has never won a Super Bowl.

Then, it's all about golf. The guys break down the apparent struggles of LIV Golf, why the Saudi-backed league has struggled to compete with the PGA Tour, and whether LIV was ever built to succeed long-term.

The biggest controversy of the episode comes from Good Good Golf and Callaway. After a controversial Good Good advertisement featuring Garrett Clark sparked major backlash, the guys discuss the ad, the fallout, Callaway's response, Good Good's handling of the situation, and even some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Callaway's stock price.

Finally, the guys tackle Tracy McGrady's claim that winning an NBA MVP is more meaningful than winning a championship. Is there actually merit to his argument, or is this just another case of a former star diminishing championships?

And with College Football Week 0 finally here, football season is officially back!

Spencer, James, and Dom continue their “Why Your Favorite Team Won’t Win the Super Bowl” series with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars. They recap Houston’s 12–5 season, playoff win over Pittsburgh, and divisional loss after C.J. Stroud’s four first-half interceptions, then discuss offseason moves (offensive line overhaul with Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, drafting Keylan Rutledge, trading for David Montgomery, adding Reed Blankenship) and concerns about protection, Stroud’s regression, limited weapons after Jayden Higgins’ torn ACL, and the tough AFC; predictions range from 12–5 division winner to 9–8. For Jacksonville, they cite a run-it-back offseason, key departures (Travis Etienne, Devin Lloyd, Andrew Wingard), a criticized draft, turnover and one-score-game regression risk, and doubts about Trevor Lawrence; projected around 9–8. In No Huddle, they cover Clemson missing the preseason AP Top 25, Trevor Ariza,), Heisman winners since 2017, and five NBA teams with only two national TV games. They also play two hard-mode all-time “17–0 challenge” drafts.

The AFC West is up for grabs, but are the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos actually capable of winning the Super Bowl in 2026? On this episode of Big Game Energy, Spencer, Dom, and James break down two of the AFC's biggest contenders and explain why neither team will be playing for the Lombardi Trophy.

We start with the Kansas City Chiefs, discussing Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Kenneth Walker, the Chiefs' lack of a true WR1, and whether Kansas City's Super Bowl window is finally beginning to close.

Then we break down the Denver Broncos, who are coming off a 14-3 season and an AFC Championship Game appearance. We discuss Bo Nix, Sean Payton, Jaylen Waddle, Denver's decision to run it back, and whether the Broncos can repeat the magic that helped them reach the AFC Championship last season.

We also make our 2026 NFL season predictions, including projected records and playoff expectations for both teams.

Then it's time for No Huddle, featuring the Raiders' decision between Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, our predictions for the first NFL head coach to be fired in 2026, a million-dollar NFL challenge, and some NFL and NBA trivia to close things out.
