Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, is going crazy. Before the game, ESPN analysts made their predictions for today’s game, most of them on the table, including legend Nick Saban and Olivia Dunne, member of the LSU Tigers women’s gymnastics team. They chose Shedeur Sanders and Buffs. The only odd one out was Lee Corso, who voiced his support for Texas Tech, stating that they generally win in Lubbock. Dunne proudly flaunted that she was going to support her NIL partner.

Shedeur’s NIL valuation is $6.2 million and her NIL valuation is $4 million. A fan account of Deion Sanders shared the video on Twitter and wrote, “Colorado vs. Texas Tech predictions 👀. Everyone picked Colorado except Lee Corso 😂 #SkoBuffs.”

Did you miss Shedeur Sanders and Co. for a week? The buffs are standing at a 6-2 record. And knowing Coach Prime, he is going to try hard to improve that score. Now even Nick Saban said he is not ditching his friend and is going to support him. But is that going to be easy?

Moving on, the Raiders have lost three games so far, which means they stand at 6-3. Anyhow, we cannot underestimate them. Who knows, Joey McGuire might come up with some solid plans. Coming back to $10.2 million, Olivia is here to support her fellow NIL mate. But is there competition between both of them too? Let’s find out.
