The BIGPLAY Detroit Show 09/08/26

Chris and Austin are back with another episode of BIGPLAY Detroit, breaking down a bizarre week of college football in the state of Michigan, the start of the Detroit Lions’ season, the National League MVP race, and more.

They open the show with Michigan and Michigan State after a strange weekend for both programs. Michigan State escaped with an unusual win, while Michigan survived what looked like a certain upset thanks to a miracle play and a highly controversial ending. Chris and Austin break down what happened, what they took away from both games, and what it means for the Wolverines and Spartans moving forward.

Next, the conversation turns to the Detroit Lions as they prepare to begin their season. Chris and Austin preview the year ahead, look at the biggest questions surrounding Detroit, and discuss what they expect from the Lions this season.

From there, Austin makes the case for Pete Crow-Armstrong over Shohei Ohtani in the National League MVP race. He explains why PCA deserves the award and why his overall impact should put him ahead of the Dodgers superstar.

The conversation then returns to Michigan football and next week’s matchup against Oklahoma. Chris questions whether Kyle Whittingham could already find himself on the hot seat if Michigan suffers a crushing loss to the Sooners and what that would mean for the Wolverines moving forward.

Finally, Chris makes his gambling pick for Michigan-Oklahoma, taking Oklahoma -5.5 and betting on the Sooners to cover the spread.

Michigan and Michigan State’s bizarre weekend, the Lions’ upcoming season, Pete Crow-Armstrong vs. Shohei Ohtani for NL MVP, Kyle Whittingham’s potential hot seat, and Oklahoma -5.5—all on this week’s episode of BIGPLAY Detroit.
