THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: OCTOBER 23RD — 29TH

We have arrived at the sports equinox and we have games everywhere! On behalf of The Irrational Confidence Podcast and Spinnable Sports, congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on winning their 2nd straight WNBA Title. The NBA opens their regular season this week on Tuesday night. As one season begins, another approaches an end as the World Series begins on Friday. We’re in the middle of the College Football and NFL seasons and each game gains importance as we get closer to December. The NHL season is in full swing and you can catch our season preview on Spinnable Sports. The MLS Playoffs kick off of Wednesday. The UEFA Champions League returns this week and we have a full weekend of European domestic club soccer. Football Season is here and you can get ready for all the action with The Irrational Confidence Podcast (@IRConfidencePod on Twitter / X) and via the Spinnable Sports YouTube Channel.
