College football delivered major upsets and statement wins, NFL Week 1 produced a historic offensive explosion, and Team USA is once again on top of the basketball world.
On this episode of the Justin Time Sports Podcast, Justin Jackson breaks down a loaded weekend across college football and the NFL before looking ahead to the biggest games coming next.
We start with our complete College Football Week 2 reaction, led by Texas surviving No. 1 Ohio State 24-23 in one of the biggest games of the young season. What did Texas prove with the victory, what went wrong for Ohio State, and how much should one loss impact the Buckeyes' College Football Playoff outlook?
We also discuss Michigan's 17-10 win over No. 11 Oklahoma and one of the weekend's biggest surprises: No. 6 Oregon falling 39-31 to Oklahoma State. With contenders already taking losses, how different does the national championship picture look after two weeks?
Then we turn the page to College Football Week 2, headlined by a massive SEC showdown between No. 8 LSU and No. 9 Ole Miss. We preview the Tigers vs. Rebels, the keys to the matchup, what LSU needs to do to win on the road, and what the result could mean for the SEC and College Football Playoff races.
Next, it's time to react to a wild NFL Week 1.
Offenses exploded across the league, producing what we're discussing as the highest-scoring opening week in NFL history. But one division managed to make history for a completely different reason: despite all that scoring, the entire NFC South started the season with a loss.
The Saints came within one point of Detroit, Tampa Bay fell to Cincinnati, Atlanta lost in Pittsburgh, and Carolina allowed 59 points against Chicago. We discuss what Week 1 told us about the NFC South and whether any team in the division should feel good moving forward.
We also break down Kyler Murray's injury and Carson Wentz stepping in to help Arizona finish off its Week 1 victory. What does Murray's injury mean for the Cardinals, and how much confidence should Arizona have in Wentz if he has to take over for an extended period?
Then we're looking ahead with our NFL Week 2 game picks, breaking down the matchups we're watching and making our predictions for another huge weekend around the league.
NFL Topics: historic Week 1 scoring, the NFC South going winless, biggest Week 1 takeaways, Kyler Murray's injury, Carson Wentz delivering for Arizona, Week 2 games to watch, upset picks, and Week 2 predictions.
Finally, we head to international basketball as Team USA wins the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. We react to another championship for USA Basketball, the biggest performances from the tournament, and what the victory says about the continued strength of American women's basketball.
From Texas-Ohio State, Michigan-Oklahoma and Oregon's upset loss to LSU-Ole Miss, a historic NFL Week 1, Kyler Murray's injury, NFL Week 2 predictions and Team USA's FIBA Women's World Cup championship, this episode is packed with reactions, analysis and predictions.
