NFL Chaos, UFC Elbows, and College Football Stunners (Fanatic Friday)

Last weekend’s sports slate had everything: college heartbreak, a UFC elbow KO that went viral, a stunning Canelo upset, and an NFL Sunday that felt like a RedZone fever dream. In this Fanatic Friday episode, Nick and Wil break down the Notre Dame meltdown, why Utah and Nebraska are teams to watch, Miami’s in-state rivalry test, and the chaos that defined Week 2 of the NFL. Plus, they revisit a historic boxing night, the UFC’s wild finish, and lock in our upset picks for the week.

Key Takeaways:

• Calling a late timeout gave Texas A&M time to draw up the game-winning play against Notre Dame, flipping a likely loss into a dagger.
• Texas can afford a slow start if the next “get-right” game resets QB confidence before SEC play.
• Utah looks undervalued in the Big 12 and is a live pick versus Texas Tech after a strong portal-fueled start.
• Michigan at Nebraska is a live upset spot due to quarterback growth and a strong college-fit head coach.
• Miami appears locked in and is a sensible play against Florida despite rivalry volatility.
• The UFC main event showcased elite preparation and delivered a highlight reverse-elbow finish over an opponent known for that move.
• Saudi-backed production plus Netflix distribution created a premium, fan-friendly boxing card at no PPV cost.
• NFL Sunday featured rare sequences, multiple late lead changes, extreme-distance field goals, and a controversial but technically correct penalty.
• Colts opened 2–0 without a single punt across both games, a quirky modern-era feat.
