The NFL is officially back, and Clay Travis breaks down the Seattle Seahawks’ season-opening matchup with the New England Patriots, including what to expect from Sam Darnold, Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel.

Then Clay dives into a packed college football slate. LSU backs down in its legal battle with the SEC over the eligibility of players who participated in NFL training camps, avoiding a showdown that Clay says could have put the Tigers’ SEC membership at risk. He also reacts to the MAC’s formal challenge over the controversial ending of Michigan–Western Michigan and explains why an annual SEC vs. Big Ten Challenge could become college football’s version of the Ryder Cup.

Plus, Clay discusses the possibility of a 24-team College Football Playoff and weighs in on the Lindsay Clancy case following comments from jurors after the trial.
