Welcome back to SPR Sports News. This episode is a full breakdown of a wild sports weekend, starting with a chaotic opening round of the NFL playoffs where most games came down to the final drive. I walk through what actually decided those games, where coaching mattered, and where teams flat-out beat themselves. There’s a deep dive into the Jaguars–Bills game, the Bears’ latest comeback, the Texans’ dominant defensive performance, and why some playoff teams are leaning way too hard on quarterbacks instead of playing smart football.

On the college side, we’re down to one game left. I break down the College Football Playoff semifinals, including Ole Miss–Miami and the controversial final play, why the pass interference debate misses the bigger picture, and why “keeping the flag in your pocket” late in games is a bad philosophy. I also cover Indiana’s demolition of Oregon and what to expect in the national championship, including matchups, spreads, and how this game could actually play out.

There’s also a quick but important MLB segment, covering two major moves: the Yankees backing off Cody Bellinger and the Cubs landing Alex Bregman, plus what it says about big-market teams refusing to spend like big-market teams.

To close it out, I start the early breakdown of UFC 324, hitting the main card, storylines, and early thoughts on Gaethje vs. Pimblett, O’Malley vs. Song Yadong, Derrick Lewis, and more, with a deeper fight-by-fight preview coming next week.
