Summary

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to kick off the football season.

They start with Ohio State beating Texas, and their concerns with quarterback Arch Manning missing easy throws and showing a lack of elite arm strength (4:00). They recap Miami vs. Notre Dame and they argue that both teams look like top 10, playoff level teams (13:30).

They move to Florida State upsetting #8 Alabama and debate what went wrong for the Crimson Tide and whether head coach Kalen DeBoer’s more relaxed coaching style will work in the SEC (23:45).

They pivot to the NFL and discuss the Cowboys decision to trade star pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers and Colin argues it could be a win-win for both teams (33:45). John believes that the strong organizational culture could benefit Parsons, and Colin explains why he thinks Dallas could implode this season (40:00).

Finally, they review the betting lines for week 1 in the NFL and what they say about the 49ers, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings and more (52:15)!
