The 3-0 Raiders host the 3-0 Chiefs in Las Vegas, and the winner takes sole possession of first in the AFC West. We're taking the Raiders outright as 5.5-point home dogs. The 49ers are 3-0 and the Chargers are 0-3, so we ask: Brock Purdy or Justin Herbert, who would you rather have? Jeremiah Smith is one touchdown from tying Chris Olave's Ohio State record of 35, and we say he breaks it at Kinnick. Then, should he be the #1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft?  Fantasy Football Bench Points Confession highlights starting Kyler Murray over Drake Maye and a fantasy team sitting 0-3 right with Jim Harbaugh's Chargers. We close with the Mariners' manager search and who Seattle should hire.

The Chargers lost to the Cardinals and the Raiders by the exact same score, 26-14, back to back weeks at SoFi Stadium, and now they fly to Buffalo. Then Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart all went down, and Oregon vs USC with somebody's playoff dream on the line. Lose to the Bills and is the Chargers' season over? We pick a side. Williams, Daniels and Dart are each headed down a different injury road, and we sort out which of their teams can survive while their quarterback sits. Then it's Ducks vs Trojans at the Coliseum. Lincoln Riley is 0-2 against Dan Lanning and has never hosted him. Oregon just gave up 554 total yards. One playoff dream dies in Los Angeles, and we tell you whose.

Lane Kiffin walks back into Oxford as LSU's head coach, and Big Ben and K Winn can't agree on who wins. Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears drop 59 on Carolina, while Jim Harbaugh's Chargers get walked out of SoFi by Jacoby Brissett as 8.5 point home favorites. Kiffin broke up with Ole Miss, moved in with LSU, then asked to coach the Rebels through the playoff anyway. K Winn rides with Ole Miss. Big Ben takes LSU to win and cover.  The Bears piled up 552 yards and six rushing touchdowns in the highest scoring season opener in NFL history. Real contender or just a shootout team? Closer to home, the Chargers lost Ladd McConkey to injury and never scored again.  And Bench Points debuts, our weekly fantasy football confession. K Winn started Kyle Pitts over Dallas Goedert and left 23.7 points on the bench. Subscribe for new episodes every week.

Arch Manning gets Ohio State in Austin, Aaron Donald is playing football again, and Oregon barely survived Boise State at Autzen.  College Football Week 1 gave us two coaching debuts and only one of them was real. Lane Kiffin dropped 51 on Clemson in Baton Rouge and led 31-3 at halftime. Kyle Whittingham left 21 years at Utah for Ann Arbor and needed a second the officials put back on the clock to beat Western Michigan as a 27.5 point favorite. College Football Week 2 is the real test. Ohio State at Texas with the Longhorns favored by a point and a half. Oklahoma at Michigan. Oregon on the road in Stillwater, and we ask whether Ducks fans should already be worried. Then the NFL. The Super Bowl favorite Rams pulled Aaron Donald out of retirement to line up next to Myles Garrett, and we break down how scared the other 31 teams should be. Big Ben has the numbers on how new head coaches do in Week 1, and there are 10 of them this year including Arizona and Las Vegas. It is not pretty. Subscribe for weekly takes.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is running away with the NL MVP, and it is no longer an underdog story. This is PCA outperforming Shohei Ohtani. Lane Kiffin hosts Dabo Swinney for his first home game in Baton Rouge, and we hand out the full 12-team College Football Playoff field. We open on College Football Week 1 and the team nobody is ready for. North Dakota State joins the Mountain West as a football only member, and we have the Bison taking the Group of Six automatic bid in year one. Then the full bracket, with the last spot coming down to BYU, USC, and Washington. We get into whether Oregon can finally get over the hump. Kiffin went 4-13 against SEC teams that finished above .500 in six years at Ole Miss. LSU is still the odds on favorite over Clemson. So we settle it.

The Seahawks won the Super Bowl and Vegas has them fourth at +1100, behind three teams that did not. De'Zhaun Stribling has 11 catches in two preseason games. Lane Kiffin just pulled a tight end straight off an NFL roster. We open with a confession and a ruling on the question every fan has argued about and nobody has ever settled. How many teams are you actually allowed to have? Is a main team plus a side team or two legal, or is that just fandom with an escape hatch? Then we get to the defending champions sitting behind three teams in the Super Bowl odds and what Vegas is telling us it doesn't believe. We set the over under on Stribling at 600 yards and four touchdowns with Ricky Pearsall gone for the season. We break down the eligibility ruling that sent Dae'Quan Wright to LSU to play for Lane Kiffin and what it means for a sport that has run out of boundaries. And we pick the third AL wild card out of seven teams all under .500, with Cal Raleigh hitting .158 and Seattle three back. Subscribe for weekly takes.

The San Diego Padres have surged into the third NL Wild Card spot and the verdict is coming: contender or pretender? Meanwhile the Seattle Mariners are on the brink, one more bad road trip away from getting knocked out of both the AL West and the Wild Card race entirely. We're also breaking down the Las Vegas Raiders' Week 1 quarterback battle. Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins, who's under center when the season kicks off? Then we shift to the rookie debate that's splitting the show: Ty Simpson or De'Zhaun Stribling, who builds the better NFL career from here? Padres playoff push. Mariners on the ropes.

The 49ers' training camp injuries pile up again, and we dig into the Santa Clara substation conspiracy theory behind San Francisco's historic run of bad injury luck. Cal Raleigh follows a 60 home run MVP runner up season with a .161 batting average, and Lincoln Riley heads into a make or break fourth season at USC with the number one recruiting class in the country and zero excuses left. This week: whether Raleigh's power outage is a fixable blip or a 29 year old catcher's body telling the truth, Brock Purdy earning the Layer King nickname from 49ers DC Raheem Morris, Sam Darnold finally getting a real nickname after leading Seattle to a Super Bowl LX win, and whether USC's offense or the defense is the real problem heading into Riley's last chance.

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, the Warriors still need to upgrade their roster, and the Dodgers are one week away from deciding whether Tarik Skubal is worth the farm. This week Big Ben and K Winn break down the LeBron to Philly move, the Golden State trade that actually makes sense, and the biggest names on the MLB deadline board. We start with the five grill masters problem in Philly. LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe in one starting five, and nobody in that locker room volunteering to defer. K Winn lays out why Cleveland was the plan until Jaylen Brown got traded. Big Ben makes the case that this is a media market play, five titles in four cities. Then we tell Mike Dunleavy exactly what to do: trade for Trey Murphy III, pair him with Yaxel Lendeborg, and stop chasing veterans on the back nine. We hit Skubal, Mason Miller and the 46-46 Padres, whether Dante Moore and Oregon can win a College Football Natty, and Arizona State launches a new influencer degree.

LeBron James is still a free agent and the entire NBA is holding its breath. The Golden State Warriors cleared cap space, Draymond Green walked away from $27.7 million, the Miami Heat acquired Giannis, and the Cleveland Cavaliers want another homecoming. This week on Big Ben & K Winn, we unpack the biggest question in basketball: does LeBron chase a fifth ring on a team-friendly deal, or protect the bag in his 24th season? We also break down Draymond Green's opt-out and what it actually means and if he could leave the Warriors. Genius or reckless? Plus, USA is out of the FIFA World Cup after getting bounced by Belgium.

LeBron James is a free agent and the question is, what’s next? Lakers, Warriors, Cavs or Heat? We break down his options and pick a destination where we think he lands. Steph Curry is 38 years old and the Warriors are a middle team in the West. Draymond declined his player option. The front office is targeting Trey Murphy III, LeBron,, and Anfernee Simons with the mid-level exception. We make the call on which move actually extends Steph's window and which ones are Band-Aids on a roster that needs surgery. Plus Ja Morant is headed to Portland and we tell you what that means for the Trail Blazers.
