The New York Giants emerged as one of the NFL's biggest winners from Week 7 action, and Monday delivers a rare sports equinox with major events across multiple leagues.
Monday Night Football features Cowboys at Eagles at 8:15 p.m. on ABC, sharing the spotlight with Game 3 of the World Series between the Brewers and Rays at 8 p.m. on Fox, plus Game 5 of the WNBA Finals with Dream at Valkyries at 8 p.m. on USA Network.
In college football, only three undefeated teams remain through Oct. 24 for the first time since 1977. Miami sits as the clear No. 1, joined by Utah and UCLA. USC suffered the largest loss of Lincoln Riley's career, falling to Wisconsin by 17 points while posting -17 rushing yards.
The NBA's opening week brought significant injuries. Thunder star Jalen Williams sustained a gruesome leg injury Sunday and appears likely to miss the remainder of the season. Magic guard Jalen Suggs also went down with a knee injury, following Paolo Banchero's high-ankle sprain.
UFC 333 saw Alexander Volkanovski retain his featherweight title via second-round TKO, while Petr Yan defended his bantamweight championship against Merab Dvashvili by unanimous decision.
Mickey's Angle: The equinox makes Monday a bettor's buffet—pace yourself, and keep an eye on how those NBA injury waves shift title futures before the market fully adjusts.
