Tom Brady was able to get 59 passes off against Buffalo in that game, which was the second highest total in 218 regular season games. He led the Patriots to a 40-32 victory, even after a last ditch effort by Tyrod Taylor, heloping the Bills get a 24-point comeback in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough to get the win. Now, with the Patriots still unbeaten, the Bills have the chance to play spoiler to a perfect season, but winning in New England is no easy task. The Bills haven't made very many changes to its lineup since the first meeting with the Patriots. Taylor, LeSean McCoy, Leodis McKelvin and Sammy Watkins are all back after injuries and the defense could pose a serious threat to the explosive pass offense that New England threatens with. The Patriots dominate the Bills on paper. New England is averaging 418.7 yards, while the Bills come in at 342.7. The Patriots connect for over 125 more passing yards per game, but Buffalo has the advantage with the rush gaining 142.8, while the Patriots are at 92.8. The Bills could keep this game close, but in the end it is the Patriots' game to lose. Expect Brady to find his receivers all day long and the Pats to come out on top at 30-24.

The Playtech-Plus 500 deal is dead. Just like that, the bold new deal has died on the vine, despite Playtech's stated commitment just last week to have an agreement in place by the end of the year. Original Deal In June, the news originally came out that Playtech had agreed to a deal to acquire Plus500 for approximately £459.6 million (€655.3 million/$696.9 million). Set to be finalized in September, the deal had experienced one delay resulting in a push back to the end of the year. The delay was attributed to concerns from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, with Playtech stating last week that the a decision on its FCA application was due next month, which left Playtech confident of closing a deal before the end of the year. Reversal Obviously, Apparently, Playtech rethought is position over the weekend, declaring itself unable to effectively address the concerns of the FCA, releasing the following statement to the press: “The company has discussed with Plus500 the consequences of the recent developments with the FCA and has agreed to the termination of the merger agreement.” Playtech was also quick to point out that the company would not incur any financial penalties as a result of the termination of the acquisition of Plus500, and further declared that its existing 9.9% holding in Plus500 would remain unaffected. “Playtech has no immediate plans with respect to its existing 9.9% holding in Plus500.” Moving On Plus500 CEO Gal Haber remained confident of his company's position, assuring the press that the company was still in “good shape” to continue operating independently, stating that: “Plus500 remains a growing, highly profitable and cash generative company with strong momentum in an expanding international market.” Haber asserted his company remains adaptive, with a “business as usual” policy that enables continued investment in marketing, technology and regulatory operations during this period.
Popular slot provider Merkur is now going live across an array of platforms powered by SkillOnNet. Getting the Merkur Name Out As part of Germany's multi-billion dollar Gauselmann Group, the Merkur name became synonymous with great land-based slots in Europe after dominating the land-based casino sector for years. The expansion of a German holding from a market where regulation has been arduous to full EU availability across multiple platforms is encouraging and significant. SkillOnNet VIP Marketing Europe Kevin Cremer expressed his company's delight at releasing Merkur games for SkillOnNet's German speaking customers. Cremer pointed out that the “great design and tons of innovative features” in Merker slots will diversify an already expansive suite of popular slot games available via SkillOnNet-driven casinos such as EU Casino and Slots Magic Casino. This is a real chance to show German technology to the iGaming world. The online slots are going to be integrated into an ambitious real-time advertising campaign as well. The Merkur slot games are expected to feature prominently on SkillOnNet’s newly regulated German casino Schleswig Holstein casino available at DreuckGleuck.de. DreuckGleuck itself is launching its own TV show at the end of November set to run for several months. The Merkur product will be a centerpiece of all DreuckGlueck online and offline targeted casino promotions. Bringing German Content to a Wider Audience Cremer explained the adaptation process of his company as looking “to use content that appeals in a home territory and this one couldn't be a better fit. What better way to help a new casino...than to provide it with one of the best known ranges of slots in the German speaking market.” Some prominent SkillOnNet Casinos include brands like EUCasino, Slots Magic Casino. The difficulties of regulation in Germany sometimes overshadow the technology that is being developed; this is a real chance for a German iGaming provider to step into the light of the regulated EU.

The Warriors have tied an amazing record. Currently at 15-0, the Warriors are in the company of the 1948-49 Washington Capitols, and the 1993-94 Houston Rockets for best starts ever in an NBA regular season. The Warriors crushed the Denver Nuggets 118-105 on Sunday night to pull even farther ahead of the NBA Western Conference, and face a struggling Lakers squad in last place in the West with only 2 wins and 11 losses. The Lakers are missing their heyday's in which Kobe Bryant was a superstar. Now averaging a mere 16.1 points per game, Bryant, the team's scoring leader looks out of his league and could opt out of play during or after this season. Steph Curry is on the other side of the spectrum. The defending NBA MVP is averaging 33.6 per game and still has yet to get beaten this year. Curry is arguably the best player in the world right now, say what you want about LeBron James, Curry is a true leader, a smart and quick player and is the main reason for his team's success. It doesn't look like the Lakers should pose too much of a threat against the Warriors, especially with the Dubs playing at home in Oakland tonight. It looks like Golden State will break and set a new record for best NBA Regular Season Wins and if the Lakers don't get something going soon, it will be the worst year in the franchise's history at the rate they are going.

Manchester City travel to Italy tonight to face Group D rivals Juventus. City have already qualified for the next round of the Champions League, but have recently been shaken to their core by a huge loss at home to Liverpool and a week prior a draw with Aston Villa. Now, overcome with injuries the team must get over its recent misfortunes and get back to winning. City will be travelling to Juventus with six of its senior players out with injuries. Striker Wilfried Bony, midfielders Samir Nasri and David Silva and Defenders Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala and Pablo Zabaleta are all out and head coach Manuel Pellegrini knows they are in tough shape. "It's a test to win in a difficult stadium against a strong team," said Pellegrini. It's hard to believe but City has never been past the final 16 in the Champions League. Now, just one point separates a better seeding in the next round and a win tonight would be a blessing for the Sky Blues. Juventus was able to beat City back in August 2-1 and La Vecchia Signora is never easily beat at home. Juventus are keen on moving into the final 16 as the Group D leaders, but that might not mean that they get an easier draw. This year's Champions League has been full of surprises and just because you lead the group doesn't necessarily mean that it will be easy sailing.
