The Tampa Bay Rays are one win away from the World Series after beating the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 in ALCS Game 5 and taking a 3-2 series lead. Mike breaks down Drew Rasmussen’s dominant seven-inning performance, Tampa Bay’s early offense, Yandy Díaz and Jonathan Aranda continuing to deliver, and what the Rays need to do at Tropicana Field to clinch the American League pennant.

NFL Week 6 also delivered another wild Sunday. The New York Jets fall to the New England Patriots after passing up multiple field-goal opportunities, while the Giants come up short against the Saints despite a late spark from J.J. McCarthy. Mike also reacts to last-second finishes around the league, the Rams’ continued collapse, and where the playoff picture stands after another unpredictable week.

College football gets a major shakeup as Miami moves to No. 1 in the AP Top 25, BYU climbs to No. 2, Ohio State rises to No. 3, and several former top teams tumble after another upset-heavy weekend.

Episode 35 of SportsVoice covers ALCS Game 5, Rays vs. Guardians, NFL Week 6, Jets vs. Patriots, Giants vs. Saints, the latest NFL standings, the new College Football Top 25, and the road to the World Series.
