  1. The first DPC league of the 2021/22 season in Southeast Asia will resume on Saturday, December 4. In the opening game of the day, Fnatic and Team SMG will compete in the elite division. In terms of regional competitiveness, Fnatic was one of the SEA's old big players that held up well. They did make it into TI10, but not with much fanfare for a team with such a well-known esports name. Fnatic, recognizing their faults, opted to reorganize their team. Fnatic, on the other hand, instead of undergoing a big revamp like the bulk of SEA teams, maintained several veterans on board. Anucha "Jabz" Jirawong, Djardel Jicko B., and Anucha "Jabz" Jirawong Marc Polo Luis "Raven" Fausto and "DJ" Mampusti Many DJ fans applauded the move, as DJ's leadership has always been impressive to witness in games. However, the new signings are young and inexperienced, thus we should expect a refreshing adjustment in Fnatic's approach to the game. Armel Paul "Armel" Tabios, a former member of TNC Predator's lineup, is by far Fnatic's greatest recruit. Armel is very good at delivering dazzling plays with a lot of scoring potential. After all, he plays the mid slot, which requires a lot of talent if he wants to carry Fnatic. Luckily, Fnatic is more than good enough to compete with T1 thanks to iconic characters like Puck, Templar Assassin, and Invoker. Squad SMG has a number of outstanding Malaysian players at their fingertips that could potentially boost any Southeast Asian tier-1 team, but they are currently unable to get the desired outcome due to the existing stack. The nicknames MidOne and Moon have a lot of clout in the area. Some analysts predicted that this squad will win the Asian qualifications for the International. This emphasizes the high caliber of characters in some of the positions. However, after struggling to enter for the year's main competition, the lads continued to compete in a slew of low-level tournaments, occasionally kicking absolute horror and even winning. For a while, the team performed together. The lone change before the start of the current DPC season was the addition of Raging Potato, the only Filipino in the league, who has participated in multiple TIs and has primarily played for Execration and Neon in recent years. Because this is the team's debut in the Asian elite, it's tough to predict what lies ahead in this league, but they must avoid being the whipping boys. Which team do you have your heart set on? Do you support team SMG or fnatic? Whatever team you pick, may the chances be ever in your favor! On December 4th, 2021, at 4 p.m., you can watch the game live.
  2. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: PHILADELPHIA 76ERS: PG | Tyrese Maxey SG | Seth Curry SF | Danny Green PF | Tobias Harris C | Joel Embiid ATLANTA HAWKS LINEUPS: PG | Trae Young SG | Kevin Huerter SF | Cam Reddish PF | John Collins C | Clint Capella NBA 2021 powers through post-Thanksgiving with Philadelphia 76ers fighting Atlanta Hawks this Friday December 4, 2021 8:30 AM at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. Hawks are roosting on their home court this upcoming match and the 76ers better bring their energy up. The Hawks are seventh in the Eastern Conference compared to 76ers at eleventh. With an uncertain 11 wins, 11 losses for the 76ers they desperately need a win. But the Hawks are out for revenge from their previous face-off. The Hawks average 110.5 points per game as of late and that is 5 points higher than the 76ers. Leading the points and assists is Point Guard Trae Young with 26.3 points per game and 9.1 assists. He also leads the three-point scoring at an average of 2.7 shots per game from beyond the arc. In terms of defense, being part of the top ten teams in terms of rebounding has been a tremendous resistance and gameplay for Hawks. This is made possible by Center Clint Capela and Shooting Guard Cameron Reddish on formidable guard. Reddish leads the team in steals at 1.1 average per game. On the other hand, Capela is Atlanta’s best rebounder with an average of 12.5 boards in each contest. This is on top of the fact that he scores 11.9 points per game. But, the 76ers should not be easily underestimated—as fans and enthusiasts alike may recall, the 76ers won against the Hawks during their previous match at a score of 122-94 last October 31. Philadelphia 76ers faced a lot of controversies, losses, and injuries during the early start of the season but, this is a team that rarely gives up. Despite bring one losing streak this upcoming match, the team has a lot to rejoice in the return of Joel Embiid coming back from a recent bout with COVID. Currently averaging at 22 points per game and 10.9 rebounds per game on 40.7% shooting from the field. The Big Man still remains strong and consistent despite not exhibiting the same level of dominance he performed through last season. This is anyone’s game at this point and either team’s success can prove to be momentous for their standings. Catch 76ers versus Hawks live through the NBA League Pass this Saturday December 4, 2021 8:30 AM PHT. Never miss any updates or announcements by following the latest news on nba.com.
  3. CRAZY TIME Introduction “Crazy Time” is a brand-new game based on Evolution's popular Dream Catcher money wheel concept, but with four action-packed bonus games. The game's centerpiece is a spinning money wheel with four additional wager places - Cash Hunt, CoinFlip, Pachinko, and Crazy Time – which send players to bonus rounds. TCS John Huxley designed the money wheel used in Crazy Time. Its action is not controlled by a motor; rather, it is entirely powered by the dealer and is serviced on a regular basis to ensure smooth and fair gaming. Players may be confident that both the wheel and the elements of Crazy Time driven by Random Number Generators are giving them legitimate results in the spirit of justice (RNG). How to Play Each round begins with participants placing bets on the numbers 1, 2, 5, 10, or any of the bonus rounds. The presenter spins the wheel once the betting is closed. If the wheel stops on a number, the prize is your stake multiplied by this number – like normal. The so-called Top Slot is located above the money wheel. The left-hand reel shows numbers or bonus games, while the right-hand reel shows multipliers. Assume the top slot gets a '1' with a multiplier of 'x5'. If the money wheel falls on '1' as well, instead of winning 1:1 as normal, players win 1:1 multiplied by 5. If the wheel stops on a bonus game segment, then the special round is triggered. There are four – Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko, and Crazy Time. Keep in mind that the Top Slot may award a multiplier that applies in the bonus round. Bonus Round Game COIN FLIP BONUS ROUND starts with two random multipliers assigned to the red and blue sides of a coin. The coin is tossed by a Flip-o-Matic device, awarding whichever color lands face up. Wins of up to 5,000x are possible here, including the Top Slot values. Occasionally, if a low multiplier lands, a Rescue Flip occurs, flipping the coin again. CASH HUNT BONUS ROUND This takes place on a shooting gallery board displaying 108 individual multipliers. These values get covered by symbols and move around the board. Players then ‘shoot’ one by clicking on it to reveal a hidden multiplier which could be as high as 12,500x, maybe more. PACHINKO BONUS ROUND This round is played on a huge physical Pachinko wall with 16 channels. Presenters drop in a puck that bounces its way to the bottom, awarding the multiplier it lands on. Prize zones may contain the word ‘double’. If the puck lands on this, all prizes are doubled, and the presenter repeats the game. This continues until a prize is awarded, up to a maximum of 10,000x. Again, a Rescue Drop may activate on low values for a second chance. CRAZY TIME BONUS ROUND This is where the biggest returns are possible. This bonus is held in what can only be described as a crazy room full of random animations and a huge virtual wheel divided into 64 segments which include multipliers plus Double and Triple symbols. Players choose one of three colors – blue, green, or yellow, corresponding to three flappers at the top of the wheel. If Double or Triple lands, all prize multipliers are increased. The wheel spins again for players who picked the correctly colored flapper. Get the Doubles or Triples cranking where wins are as high as 20,000x are possible. STRATEGIES YOU CAN USE TO WIN Martingal Strategy To use this approach, you'll need a certain amount of money to cover any potential losses. With your first bet, you can gamble on all four bonus fields, which is a winning approach for Crazy Time. If you initially bet a minimum of Php 5 on all fields, you have invested Php 20 for the first round. If your fields are not hit in the next round, you must double your bet, making it a total of Php40 in your account. You will continue to double your bet for each round if the bonus fields have not yet been hit. Crazy Time has a bonus field around every 6 rounds, according to statistics. So the estimated money you’ll need to try winning using this strategy is roughly Php640 if you will be betting on a minimum wager. Probability Strategy This strategy is ideal for players who want to put their skills to the test against the machines. Based on the results of the previous 60 rounds, probability calculations can reveal a clear pattern. Simply access the game history tab to do so. Some fields are hit more frequently than others. On the Crazy Time wheel, this method takes patience. It's worth betting on fields that require less than six rounds to be hit again, according to your calculations. Low-Votality Strategy In this technique, you spread your wagers as widely as possible around the Crazy Time wheel. If you have a budget of Php100, for example, betting Php20 per round makes sense. You can place your bets on five of the eight possibilities. For example, suppose you bet Php5 on the number "2," which appears 13 times on the wheel and is matched if you win. Another Php 5 is allocated to the number "5", which appears five times on the wheel and has a five-fold increase if you win. The remaining Php10 is split between three of the four bonus fields. So you've covered around half of the playing fields. You have a good probability of winning one of these fields. Play Crazy time here!
  4. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: TEAM ENVY: FNS Victor crashies yay marved X10 CRIT: fox sushiboys sScary Crws Patiphan The first-ever Valorant Champions is about to commence as we get to see several matchups in the group stage. The Group A of the Valorant Champions will be interesting as we get to see one of the best Southeast Asia teams, X10 Crit, face off against one of the giants of North America, Team Envy. Watch as they battle for a chance to fight in the main stage of the event this December 04, 1:00 AM (PHT) in Berlin, Germany. X10 Crit, formerly known as X10 esports, was the best in the Southeast Asian region. They dominated the Southeast Asia VCT Stage 1 and 2 and attended Masters - Reykjavik. However, the team soon started to struggle when their star player, Patiphan, took some time off due to an injury. X10 Crit became one of the first teams to qualify for the Valorant Champions 2021 due to the circuit points that they accrued in the Valorant Champions Tour throughout the season. Although X10 Crit missed Masters - Berlin, the team kept training for the Valorant Champions after their star player, Patiphan, returned. In an interview, the team said that they have not used their strategies in their scrims because they plan to reveal them at the Champions. Team Envy is one of the best contenders from the North American Region. They emerged as one the best teams in the world after consistently finishing in the top 4 of several Valorant tournaments over the year, and after they eliminated the masters of the VCT Stage 2 and tournament favorites, Sentinels 2-0 in the quarterfinals, and faced Gambit in the grand finals of Masters - Berlin last September. Although they were swept by Gambit esports 3-0 in the grand finals, Team Envy still deserves to be called one of the best teams since their players are all talented, and they have already proved many times that they can challenge and beat top-tier teams from different regions. Team Envy might feel a little disheartened because of what happened in their grand final run in Masters - Berlin. But now they had more time to practice with their star Jett player, Yay. Yay is an exceptional player who was acquired by Team Envy one month before the Masters - Berlin. And for only one month of training before Masters - Berlin, Yay proved on the main stage how strong and frightening he can be with his individual Jett plays. Our thoughts? We see Team Envy winning in their upcoming match against X10 Crit. Although X10 Crit proved that they're one of the best contenders in Southeast Asia and have secret strategies that they're gonna use in Valorant Champions. We still think that Team Envy will come out victorious because all of their players proved to be skillful and consistent with their performance. With their veteran leader "FNS" together with one of the best Jett players in the world, "Yay", it would surely be one heck of a game to watch. Team Envy battles X10 Crit, Friday, 12/04/21, 1:00 AM (PHT), at Berlin, Germany.
  5. Many people were surprised to learn after Major that Dupreeh, Magisk, and zonic would be departing the squad. The uncertainty of who might be able to take their place weighed large over the organization. The two substitute players, on the other hand, have already made an impression on the battlefield. BlameF and K0nfig made their Astralis debut against the NIP lead by Dev1ce. The newcomers made an immediate impact, each scoring over 30 kills on the second map, resulting in a 2-0 Bo3 victory over NIP. Astralis could be a top contender selection to win the tournament because Na'Vi will not be there. NiP, like Navi, has a standout player. Dev1ce joined NiP from Astralis and has aided the squad in reaching greater levels. NiP's success is dependent on how well he plays. He is currently World #2 after almost six years. However, it isn't completely reliant on Dev1ce. His fame steals the spotlight, but the rest of the youthful team had already proven themselves before he arrived. Astralis is the challenger here, and after being beaten (2:0) by NIP earlier, betting on Astralis as the winner could be advantageous. On December 2nd at 7:00 PM, Astralis will face off against NIP in the IEM Winter 2021. (PHT). Who do you think will win this match? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
  6. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: GAMBIT ESPORTS: Chronicle D3ffo Sheydos nAts Redgar TEAM SECRET: JessieVash DubsteP BORKUM Dispenser witz North vs. South. Kings vs. Underdogs. It's the match that Filipino fans are waiting for. Watch as Team Secret clash with the Kings of Masters - Berlin, Gambit esports at the Valorant Champions 2021 this December 02, 10:00 PM (PHT) in Berlin, Germany. Will the Kings stomp the Underdogs? Or will the Underdogs surprise us and create an upset? Gambit is one of the favorites going to the Valorant Champions. They are the strongest and highest-ranked European team who challenged and triumphed over other top-tier teams such as Sentinels, Team Envy, G2 esports, among other notable teams in the professional scene. Gambit recently won the Masters - Berlin, dominating their opponents on the main stage. In the grand finals, Gambit won with style as they beat Team Envy 3-0. So, it is no surprise that fans and other professional players think that Gambit is worthy of being one of the top 4 strongest teams in the world as they have already proven themselves to millions of people. On the other hand, Team Secret is a new team and was recently formed during Masters - Berlin last September. The whole roster was acquired by Team Secret when the roster's former team, Bren esports, was forced to forfeit from Masters - Berlin due to travel requirement issues. Team Secret is one of the most famous and most successful esports organizations in the world. They are known in other games such as Dota 2, League of Legends, CS:GO, among other notable games. The Valorant roster of Team Secret is relatively new to the international scene, and it will be their first time to compete globally in the Valorant Champions. So, it is uncertain if the team is on par with tier one teams such as Gambit. However, we should not underestimate them because they have a lot of potential. They are also one of the best teams in Southeast Asia, not to mention being acquired by Team Secret means that the organization believes that the all-Filipino lineup can be one of the best teams in the world. To qualify for the main stage, Team Secret needs to do some jaw-breaking performance to emerge as one of the top 2 teams in their group, including beating the Kings of Masters - Berlin. Gambit esports is most likely gonna win in their opening match against Team Secret since they are a top-tier team who proved in the Masters - Berlin that they can beat other top-tier teams from different regions. On the other hand, Team Secret is new to the international scene. It is also their first time to experience a match against Gambit so they might have a difficult time in adjusting and developing their strategies. Nevertheless, we expect to see a great game from both teams. Kings vs. Underdogs. Tuesday, 12/02/21, 10:00 PM (PHT), at Berlin, Germany.
  7. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: FNATIC: Boaster Doa Mistic Derke Magnum CLOUD9: mitch leaf xeta xeppaa vanity The Valorant Champions 2021, the first biggest event in Valorant, is here at last! Watch as 16 of the best teams in the world compete for the championship title and become the first-ever champion in all of Valorant history. The 16 teams were grouped into four (four teams per group) who will fight for the top two spots in order to qualify for the main stage event. We will have an exciting group stage match as we watch Fnatic take on one of the North American powerhouses, Cloud 9 Blue, this December 02, Thursday, 4:00 AM (PHT) in Berlin, Germany. Fnatic is one of the most successful and leading esports organizations, winning legacies for over 17 years in different games. The Valorant team of Fnatic is one of the most determined teams in the tournament, their run on the qualifiers was rough as they had to vigorously fight their way out of the lower bracket and earn enough circuit points to qualify for the championship. Although they did reach the grand finals of the qualifiers and earned enough circuit points, they were ultimately defeated by one of the best teams in North America, The Sentinels. On the other hand, Cloud 9 Blue is the last North American team to qualify for the Valorant Champions. The team made quite the name for themselves in the VCT NA Last Chance event for beating several strong teams such as 100 Thieves, XSET, Gen.G, and Version1 to qualify for this event. Cloud 9 Blue has an exceptional roster. The team acquired Vanity before the Last Chance event started. The team also has Leaf, one of the best players in the North American Last Chance qualifiers. The team has an excellent strategy that led to winning the event's grand finals, consequently qualifying the team for the Valorant Champions 2021. Fnatic will have a hard time defeating Cloud 9 Blue because Cloud 9 has the ability to adjust and adapt depending on the situation. They know when to change tactics and what to do to punish their opponents. They have dominated a lot in their qualifier run, clutched tiebreaker wins, and are highly versatile. Safe to say we’re betting on Cloud 9 Blue to win this upcoming match against Fnatic. Meanwhile, Fnatic had a pretty rough season. After earning their silver medal at Masters 2: Reykjavik, the team struggled to stay at the top. Months passed where the team stayed quiet until the Valorant Championship qualifiers. However, like other teams, Fnatic has worked hard to improve their playstyle and strategies, so we don't know what might happen. But we can expect that it will be a great and exciting match, and we hope to see more of it. Thursday, 12/02/21, 4:00 AM (PHT), at Berlin, Germany
  8. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: LOS ANGELES LAKERS: PG | Russell Westbrook SG | Avery Bradley SF | Kent Bazemore PF | LeBron James C | Anthony Davis SACRAMENTO KINGS: PG | De'Aaron Fox SG | Tyrese Haliburton SF | Harrison Barnes PF | Maurice Harkless C | Tristan Thompson After facing off against each other just three days ago, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings are set to go toe to toe against each other once more on December 1, 2021, at the STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, California. The last match between the two teams somehow surprised the crowd, as they were expecting the Lakers to win, given that the team was favored by 7.5 points. However, despite their past four losses in their recent matches, the Kings came through and won the game with a final score of 137-141. As the two teams meet again, will the Kings be able to claim the win for the second time around, or will the Lakers snatch the victory out of the Kings’ hands? Let’s find out. The Los Angeles Lakers started shaky this season, but they were able to redeem themselves, as seen in their recent games. Anthony Davis emerged as this season’s team leader by having the highest points and rebounds. Russell Westbrook also contributed by having the highest assists. These two players have proven themselves to be essential in the team’s win. While this may seem great for them, it is not looking good for the team as a whole. Similar to the past games of the Lakers wherein Westbrook would have an incident of indecisiveness and his dependent team members would fall together with him, Westbrook’s luck might run out and cause problems for the whole team in this upcoming match. If they want to defeat the Kings, they definitely need to come up with a strategic game plan that is not dependent on one or two players. As for the Sacramento Kings, their win against the Los Angeles Lakers was unexpected, especially since they lost four out of their past five games. Their win last November 26 now brings them two out of five wins from their past five matches, which is also the same as the Lakers. De’Aaron Fox, despite his slow start, has been the star player for this season, scoring the highest both in score and assists. Richaun Holmes had the highest rebounds as well for this season. If the prediction should be based on the history and statistics of the players from both teams, we might just say that the Los Angeles Lakers can take home the win on this one. However, seeing as how the game played out three days ago with the Sacramento Kings conquering the match, we now agree with ESPN’s Basketball Power Index which states that the Sacramento Kings have a 62.7% chance of winning, leaving the remaining 37.3% to the Los Angeles Lakers. Catch the Sacramento Kings travel to face off against the Los Angeles Lakers on December 1, 2021, at 11:30AM PST, at the STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, California.
  9. The 86th Intel Extreme Masters is approaching, and teams are eager to strengthen their ESL Pro Tour performances in this final opportunity to gain a big amount of EPT points for IEM Katowice 2022. The competition will feature 16 teams from around the globe. The champions of DH October EU and DH October OCE are expected to gain two spots, while the invited teams will probably receive ten slots, three additional slots will be handed to teams from the qualifiers, and the final spot will be claimed by the champion of the global playoff stage. In the group stage, the teams will be split into two groups, all with eight teams. In the GSL format, they will play bo3 matches in a double-elimination tournament. The victor of every group advances to the semi-finals, while the second-place teams move to the upper bracket quarterfinals and the third-place teams to the lower seeding quarterfinals. The remaining teams will be disqualified from the tournament. The single-elimination playoffs will be conducted in best-of-three matchups. The champion's last games will be played in a best-of-five format. The Intel Extreme Masters Season 16 - Winter will be conducted on LAN from December 2nd to 12th and will offer $250,000 in prize pool, a slew of ESL Pro Tour points, and an Intel® Grand Slam contribution.
  10. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: DETROIT PISTONS: PG | Killian Hayes SG | Cade Cunningham SF | Saddiq Bey PF | Jerami Grant C | Isaiah Stewart LOS ANGELES LAKERS: PG | Russell Westbrook SG | Avery Bradley SF | Kent Bazemore PF | LeBron James C | Anthony Davis The Detroit Pistons are on the road as they travel to go against the Los Angeles Lakers once again this Monday morning, November 29, 2021, at 10:30AM, at the STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, California. After what happened last November 21, 2021, when a heated exchange occurred between Lakers’ LeBron James who had been ejected from the last game for a flagrant-2 foul, and Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart who had been called for a loose ball foul, how will the next game play out? It is safe to say that the Detroit Pistons have not been lucky enough based on their recent matches, losing four out of their five games. The team went against a Curry-less Golden State Warriors but still lost. They are also last in the league scoring in offense, 29th in rebounding, 27th in assists, and 19th in the league in scoring defense. Jerami Grant has been putting a lot of effort to change the team’s standing, as he adds 18.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest. Cade Cunningham with 14.2 points and 5.8 boards also worked as the team’s aid. Isaiah Stewart is also one of the key players for the Pistons, but unfortunately, he was suspended in the team’s last match against the LA Lakers due to his incident with Lebron James The odds have not been treating the Los Angeles Lakers fairly lately with them being 28th in the league in scoring defense and 9th in the league in scoring offense, but they have managed to win two out of their past five games, one of which was against the Detroit Pistons. Despite coming back from injury and being ejected from the team’s match against the Pistons, LeBron James is still leading the Lakers with 24.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per match. Anthony Davis definitely carried the team as well this season by contributing 24.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per night. Russell Westbrook, despite his flaws from the past games, is also able to chip in 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per contest. According to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Los Angeles Lakers have a 70% chance of winning the game on Sunday, leaving the 30% to the Detroit Pistons. We agree with this prediction and expect the Los Angeles Lakers to take the win on this one, especially upon seeing how their last match played out. The Detroit Pistons are simply not at their best right now, which makes it challenging to overcome the Los Angeles Lakers. Will the Los Angeles Lakers be able to win both of their games against the Pistons? Or will the Detroit Pistons manage to push through and finally get their sweet victory? We’ll find out soon enough. Detroit Pistons against Los Angeles Lakers on November 29, 2021, 10:30AM PST, at the STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, California.
  11. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS: PG | Stephen Curry SG | Andrew Wiggins SF | Jordan Poole PF | Draymond Green C | Damion Lee PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS: PG | Damian Lillard SG | CJ McCollum SF | Norman Powell PF | Robert Covington C | Jusuf Nurkic For the first time this season, the Portland Trail Blazers will face off against the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are feeling really good as they have not lost a single match this week with a 5-straight winning streak. Of course, unstoppable Warriors are looking for their 6th-straight win this week as the Trail Blazers will pay them a visit at the Chase Center, San Francisco, California, this November 27. Will the Warriors get their 6th win at their hometown? Or will the Trail Blazers break the record? Even without their five-time All-Star, Klay Thompson, the Warriors are looking pretty dominant this season. There is no doubt that the Warriors are one of the best teams in the NBA at the moment. Boasting a seasonal score of 16-2, the team is still on fire as they have not lost a single match this week. Although it was recently announced that Thompson was officially cleared to fully practice, he would still not be able to play for their upcoming game against the Trail Blazers or any other team until the end of the year because Thompson wants to train more so that he can play his best form like before he got injured. The Trail Blazers (10-9), on the other hand, had one of the most confusing starts in this season. The main reason was that their All-Star player, Damian Lillard, got off to a bad start, which affected the whole team's performance, resulting in win-loss situations. However, the team is finally showing better form and performance in their recent games, and Lillard has finally found his footing and is now playing significantly better than at the start of the season. The Trail Blazers won four-straight games until the Sacramento Kings beat them at 125-121 last November 24. Although the Trail Blazers had a disappointing loss against the Sacramento Kings, the Trail Blazers had an excellent performance nonetheless, with Lillard having the highest score at 32 points at the game. He averages at 26 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds every game on 47% shooting from the field and 41% shooting from a 3-point range. The Trail Blazers are capable of challenging the Warriors because of their offensive firepower. However, one of Portland's problems is their defensive end at the point of attack. If Lillard is not prepared at the point of attack, he will never score enough to beat their opponents. The Trail Blazers must do everything they can to defend themselves from the offensive attacks of the Warriors. This is gonna be an exciting match as we finally get to watch two of the best point guards in the NBA league. Watch as Stephen Curry, and Damian Lillard lead their teams against each other. However, I'm all in for the Golden State Warriors to win because the team has an excellent defense and ball movement, which could earn them a dominant win over Trail Blazer's weak defense. But hey, we'll never know what might happen, so stay tuned! Saturday, 11/27/21, 11:00 AM (PHT) at the Chase Center, San Francisco, California.
  12. FaZe Clan competed erratically at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, displaying two distinctive stages. In any event, the team's structure remained largely unchanged, which immediately resurrected the earlier issues. Despite this, the boys were able to force a battle with Heroic at the start of the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021. FaZe Clan may also go to the decider if they had some additional suggestions on Nuke. In one point or another, the team appeared to be a lot more exciting than BIG, which we'll talk about a little later. BIG failed to qualify for the V4 Future Sports Festival 2021, finishing in third to fourth place. The team is completely incapable of fighting TIER-1 opponents. At the start of the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, NAVI sprawled BIG across the arena. And if the Germans were still clinging to Nuke, Dust 2 would be excruciating to watch. In the lower bracket's first round on Friday, BIG will square off with FaZe at 10:30PM PST. Don't miss out on the game and bet exclusively at 747 Live!

Unfortunately, players have been riddled with injuries from recent games—running back Ezekiel Elliott has a sore knee, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is still under concussion control, and fellow wideout Amari Cooper is recovering from COVID. Dak Prescott’s performance has fallen short in the past games as the team scores no touchdown with their bout against the Chiefs. This puts the team’s gameplay at quite a scramble. Defense falls tight as Michael Gallup, Cedrick Wilson, and Noah Brown maintain to hold their ground amidst player substitutions. But even with their adjustments, the Raiders are still disadvantaged at predictions. Sorry Raiders fans, Cowboys are the pick for Week 12 of NFL 2021. Watch the event live through CBS and listen to the live coverage at NFL Game Pass, Westwood One, SiriusXM, and TuneIn. The game is scheduled to broadcast November 26, Friday and kickoff at 5:30 AM PHT. For updates and announcements, follow the buzz at nfl.com.
  14. The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to play their next home game of the NBA regular season and take on the Miami Heat, on November 25, 2021, 9:00AM, at the Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. With both teams having played together exactly 31 times with 16-15 wins in favor of the Timberwolves, and with both teams winning four out of their past five games, who will dominate in this upcoming match? Let’s find out. During the playoff season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have proven themselves to be one of the strongest teams as observed in their 7 wins and 9 losses, which gave 43.75% victory and 22 positions on the table. For the past five games of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Karl-Anthony Towns has proven himself to be a valuable player to the team with his statistics of scoring the highest of 28 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists during their last match against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jarred Vanderbilt was also on fire, having scored 18 points, with the most rebounds of 11, and 1 assist. D’Angelo Russell was a great aid as well during the last match with his score of 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists. For the team’s previous games, the play was mostly dependent on the three, and we can definitely say that they are an effective trio, knowing that they successfully took the win in four out of five games. Seeing as the team is in good shape based on their past matches, this brings hope that they might also achieve victory in the upcoming match. Being one of the top teams of the championship, justifiable in their 11 wins and 6 losses, and as observed in their 64.71% victory in 17, the Miami Heat have proven themselves deserving of the name “Heat” because of their fire gameplay. Similar to the Timberwolves, Miami Heat winning four out of their past five games makes the upcoming match even more interesting. Jimmy Butler carried the team for the past five games, especially during their third most recent match, where he had the highest points, rebounds, and assists. Bam Adebayo also was a vital player and a key element to the team’s wins since he had the highest rebound for the last two matches. Kyle Lowry also showcased his skills for the past two games by having the highest assists. This trio varies from match to match, sometimes with Tyler Herro and P.J. Tucker upping their game, which shows that the team’s consistency may not be at its best, but their game strategy is definitely getting them wins. In viewing all of the aspects in both teams, ESPN’s Basketball Power Index predicted that the Minnesota Timberwolves have a 52.6% chance of winning, leaving the 47.4% chance to the Miami Heat. This upcoming match is expected to be an intense one, considering that both teams are coming in hot with their recently acquired four out of five wins. The score is expected to be tight since both teams are looking robust, but based on the past games, the Minnesota Timberwolves showed greater consistency as compared to the Miami Heat. Will the Minnesota Timberwolves howl their way to victory, or will Miami Heat come through hot and defeat the odds? Let’s find out on November 25, 2021, 9:00AM PST, at the Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
  15. Los Angeles and New York, prepare! Going towards the stretch of NBA 2021 Week 6, witness Lakers versus Knicks battle head on this November 24, Wednesday 8:30 AM PHT. New York Knicks is at one losing streak with their recent toss-up with Eastern Conference lead Chicago Bulls while, Los Angeles Lakers has one recent win up their sleeve against Detroit Pistons. At just shy of both conferences’ top 8, this is anyone’s game either for recovery or further triumph. See them square up on court to attempt for victory! Offense is topnotch for both teams. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau revamped the offense by strengthening F-C Julius Randle’s performance with the addition of G Kemba Walker and G-F Evan Fournier—now, the Knicks boasts a 44.1 FG%, 36.4 3P%, and 76.2 FT%. This, if we compare to Los Angeles Lakers’ 46.1 FG%, 34.8 3P%, and 74.7 FT%, is arguably a pretty good faceoff between two competitors with threatening potentials to consistently score points. Going against tried, tested, and proven contenders like F LeBron James, F-C Anthony Davis, G Russell Westbrook, and F Carmelo Anthony cannot be an easygoing journey but, the same can be said with what the Lakers are about to face. But defenses are left with much to be desired. The decisions here can be critical and both teams have been criticized by fans and enthusiasts alike about their defensive management. Los Angeles Lakers has an on-and-off record in terms of resistance. Head coach Frank Vogel recently asked the team to ‘raise their commitment’ to defense after a streak of miserable exploitations by low-tier NBA teams. “There’s too much confusion. We have a scheme that’s in place, and our guys, they’re confused, and I’ve got to do a better job making sure that they understand their assignments,” Vogel commented on last month’s gameday film session. Much can be said the same for New York Knicks who are still having a difficult time performing proper transition defense under their new head coach. The Thibodeau defense involves a heavy amount of switching and overloading but, the team has been scrambling due to miscommunication and poor individual judgment from the recent games. This is an away game for Los Angeles Lakers as they face New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, New York on November 23rd, Tuesday 4:30 PM PT. Stream the game through Spectrum Sportsnet and TNT. Listen in live from ESPN LA. Filipino fans can enjoy the game through the NBA League Pass November 24th, Wednesday 8:30 AM PHT. For announcements and updates, follow nba.com.
  16. ESL Pro League Conference – ESL Pro League Season 15 Qualification The entire event follows a Double Elimination bracket structure, with the top three teams qualifying for a more competitive league and the remaining teams receiving consolation cash prize. Sharks vs LDLC The Sharks will face the LDLC in the opening quarterfinal matchup. They should drive the French team to the net and make preparations for the MAD Lions right away. The Sharks demonstrated their ability to play as a team at the PGL Stockholm Major, with their sole issue being a lack of experience playing alongside European teams. LDLC has been at the bottom of the esports industry for a long time, and it's unclear that this lineup will still be seen. MAD Lions vs EC Brugge The DreamHack Open November 2021 chose MAD Lions for the current event. The team didn't progress to the finals, as they were defeated by Fnatic in all matches. However, they defeated forZe in the play-off game for the third spot. MAD Lions has qualified for the DreamHack Open November 2021 after passing all stages of qualification, and so completely merits a spot in the ESL Pro League Season 15 Conference. EC Brugge is among the competition's weaker teams. The team qualified for the current event by winning the ESL Proximus Benelux Winter Championship Finals 2021. At such an event, there were bound to be no strong players. EC Brugge, on the other hand, have been through the play-in stage. To accomplish this, they had to defeat SHAPE, which they did. Extra salt vs Sprout Extra Salt was among the first teams to earn a spot in this year's competition. They managed to win the DreamHack Open North America in June 2021, where they defeated O PLANO in the final. They have now won two successive ESEA Autumn 2021 Cash Cup series tournaments. And the Party Astronauts always came out on top in the final. Extra Salt was granted to them at the last iBUYPOWER Mythic Masters Winter 2021. By dominating the ESL Meisterschaft Autumn 2021, Sprout advanced for the current tournament. They haven't lost in six straight matches, but the most of them have been at national events. With a 2-0 win over BLINK, Sprout kicked off ESEA Premier Season 39 Europe. Renegades vs Team Renewal Renegades were tired of sitting in their Oceania after jumping to the chance to compete in the PGL Major Stockholm 2021. The team, unfortunately, exited the competition too soon, with only a single win. However, we must honor the Australians, who once again emerged from the shadows to fight. They had every possibility to eliminate MOUZ and continue in the championship at the same time, but they didn't progress properly. Team Renewal won the DreamHack Open June 2021 Asia, allowing them to compete in the championship. Renewal, on the other hand, has recently been failing. As a result, we would probably anticipate a swift exit from the squad. Godsent vs Wisla Krakow Godsent has never competed before with top European teams, and their lack of expertise showed at the PGL Stockholm Major. With a score of 0-3, the Brazilians were disqualified from the event after losing all four cards. Following the major, Godsent competed in REBULGEAGUE, winning two of three matches. Wisla Krakow is a Polish top 50 squad who has struggled to climb the rankings for a while. The team is continually undergoing restructuring and is unable to qualify for big events. Only the IEM XV World Championship in February 2021 was an exception, and even then, Wisla was one of the first teams to be eliminated. Wisla's dominance in regional and European shooting-2 tournaments was a foregone conclusion, but only if there would be no strong competitors.
  17. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: WASHINGTON WIZARDS: PG | Spencer Dinwiddie SG | Bradley Beal SF | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope PF | Kyle Kuzma C | Daniel Gafford CHARLOTTE HORNETS: PG | Lamelo Ball SG | Kelly Oubre Jr SF | Gordon Hayward PF | Miles Bridges C | Mason Plumlee Here comes the Wizards and the Hornets! Once again, the Washington Wizards take on the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday, November 23, at the Capital One Arena, Washington, DC. The show starts at 8:00 AM (PHT). Watch as the Wizards attempt to take revenge against the Hornets to recover the loss from their last match against each other. Who do you think will triumph? Will it be the mighty Wizards? Or the unyielding Hornets? The Hornets are on fire as they are currently on a five-game win streak, while the Wizards are not looking good at the moment. Before both teams faced each other on November 18, The Hornets’ overall score was 8-7, while the Wizards were 10-3. But now, the Hornets are currently 10-7 this season, while the Wizards are 10-5. The Washington Wizards are one of the biggest surprises and were looking pretty dominant in the early season as they were on a five-win streak before their last match against the Hornets. The Hornets are known to have an appalling defense. But the Wizards seem to be having a hard time getting their shots to fall, even with their star player, Bradley Beal, who recently returned to play against the Hornets. Furthermore, it is still uncertain if Davis Bertans, Rui Hachimura, and Thomas Bryant will play for the next game. On the other hand, the Hornets had a pretty rough season. At the start of the month, they were on a 5-lose streak, with huge score differences in the final results. However, they came back stronger and even beat one of the most unstoppable teams at the moment, the Golden State Warriors, last November 15. This shows that their defense is improving. In their last match against the Wizards, they kept their perseverance in the first 2 quarters. The wizards were up by more than 5 points in the first quarter and only by 1 point in the second quarter. However, it was in the third quarter of the game where the persistence of the Hornets paid off as they suddenly went for the offensive and scored 30-14 in the third quarter, giving dominance to the Hornets, and eventually winning the game at 97-87 last November 18. As the Hornets continue to dominate their recent matches, it is highly feasible that they can also dominate and win their next match against the Wizards since what they're doing is more viable, especially if Bertans, Hachimura, and Bryant will still not play for the Wizards. Although Beal returned, it is still uncertain if he can play at his best since his grandmother recently passed away. However, we should still remember that the Wizards are a really strong team this season and that they are like two mirror images of one another. Who knows? Either way, we expect a great performance from both teams. Stay tuned! Tuesday, 11/23/21, 8:00 AM (PHT) at the Capital One Arena, Washington, DC.
  18. In order to significantly reduce the process for teams to proceed into the final stages of the ESL Pro League, ESL declared that it will increase the league's size from 24 to 34 teams, change how teams compete for the CSGO EPL, and create a new event called the ELP Conference for the 2022 season. ESL Pro League will organise all ESL Pro Tour (EPT) Challenger tournaments, as per ESL's website. This entails that EPT challenger tournaments like the Dreamhack Open, ESEA Premier, and ESL National Competitions will be used to qualify groups for the EPL. Along with this new road, a total of 16 teams will be eligible to secure for the EPL. This new road is also the primary basis for the EPL's increased participation to 34 teams. To make up for the extra teams, an extra week of action will be introduced. In addition, the total prize pool will be boosted to $850,000. Season 15 of the EPL will serve as a bridging season for the revamped format's implementation. From 2021, ESL will give preference to teams that have managed to win prior EPT events or an EPT masters (IEM Cologne and Katowice) tournament. This suggests that teams that have won a Dreamhack Open, ESEA Premier teams fighting for EPL placement, and ESL National title teams will be given preferential treatment in the EPL. To compete for a spot in the EPL, all of the participating EPT teams will compete in a conference stage. The EPL conference will be held within the Dreamhack festival's time schedule. One of these conference phases will be held from November 23 to 28. Although the first ESL Conference will be held online, ESL has indicated that it will also be held as a LAN competition. This new method will allow new faces to put their skills into action in a more structured setting, potentially introducing new blood into the competitive CS:GO scene.
  19. POTENTIAL LINEUPS: Las Vegas Raiders: 1. Derek Carr 2. Josh Jacobs 3. Hunter Renfrow 4. Bryan Edwards 5. Zay Jones 6. Darren Waller 7. Alec Ingold 8. Kolton Miller 9. John Simpson 10.Andre James 11. Alex Leatherwood 12. Brandon Parker Cincinnati Bengals: 1. Joe Burrow 2. Joe Mixon 3. Ja'Marr Chase 4. Tee Higgins 5.Tyler Boyd 6. C.J. Uzomah 7. Jonah Williams 8.Quinton Spain 9. Trey Hopkins 10. Hakeem Adeniji 11. Riley Reiff 12. Stanley Morgan The Cincinnati Bengals are set to come back for a critical AFC matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 22, 2021. A few weeks ago, the Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders were tied at the top of the AFC standings. Recently, both teams have encountered minor slumps that have dented their play. As they meet on Sunday in Las Vegas, who will be the team to rise to the top and take the win? Let’s find out. Coming from a bye week, the time off gave the Cincinnati Bengals a much-needed boost to bounce back from the consecutive losses they had against the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns, just when they were starting to rise in the AFC North. The Bengals did not succeed in covering four of their last six games, including their distasteful loss to the Jets, which brings them 4-5 against the spread this season. The Bengals are rooting for quarterback Joe Burrow to uplift the team since he was awarded as the most improved player on the team roster for 2021. Burrow’s passing game has slightly improved which was evident in his records showing higher yards per pass attempt rate. Also, his passer rating significantly increased by about 13 points, and he is leading the league in yards per completion. With the team’s two latest losses, Burrow and the team should be more resilient in the upcoming match. Things started out good for the Las Vegas Raiders when they had the chance to hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC. However, due to their recent loss to the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs, they are now grappling for a Wild Card berth. Similar to the Bengals, the Raiders are 5-4 against the spread due to failure in covering five of their last seven games. Based on the season statistics, the Raiders’ running back Josh Jacobs contributes heavily to the success of the team and is the one leading them. He has run for a team-leading 280 yards on 73 carries while scoring five touchdowns. He averages 16.1 receiving yards per game as well, catching 18 passes for 129 yards. He also has received 73 of his team's 193 carries this season (37.8%). Other players such as Derek Carr, Hunter Renfrow, and Maxx Crosby also have proven themselves essential in achieving the team’s win. We expect the Cincinnati Bengals to take the win on this match especially since their bye week has allowed the team to become more healthy. Furthermore, the Bengals have a good defense and ground attack with Mixon and other receiving options. As for the Las Vegas Raiders, they are particularly good in offense, but their lack of running game serves as a window for the opposing team to take advantage of. This makes them more vulnerable as compared to the Bengals. Given that both teams are coming from two consecutive losses, who will be the one determined enough to rise up in this match? Catch the Cincinnati Bengals to go toe to toe against the Las Vegas Raiders this November 22, 2021, at 5:05 PM, EST, at the Allegiant Stadium.
  20. In the V4 Future Sports Festival 2021 Grand Final, Gambit will face Entropiq. Match will start today, Today, November 21, 2021, at 10 p.m. PST. The challengers will face off in the competition final, which will be played in LAN mode. The game will be played in a best-of-five style and the champion will be receiving $170,000 in prize money. Gambit is ranked 3rd in the globe. The squad was regarded as the tournament's contender, but it was defeated during first match. As a result, the lads were defeated by Fiend on Dust2 with a score of 9:16. eSuba also created problems, which they finally managed to control in overtime against Mirage - 19:17, 16:2. Gambit lost on the first map again in the quarterfinals, but dominated the rest of the match against Enterprise - 12:16, 16:3, 16:6. However, in the semifinals, the squad played its finest game, defeating BIG 16:5, 16:12. Entropiq is now rated 12th in the world. At LAN competitions, the squad is doing very well. They nearly made the playoffs at the major, and they are currently unbeaten at the current event. The team was able to beat Sinners and Enterprise in the group, awarding the latter one card. After winning first place, the lads advanced to the playoffs, where they faced Fiend. In the match, however, there was no major fighting - 16:12, 16:5. At the current event, Gambit maintains the first card inadequately and then improves significantly. In the end, something similar could happen. Entropiq does not have a significant advantage on any map, therefore it will be difficult for it to force a genuine fight in the match.
  21. UFC Fight Night 198: Vieira vs. Tate. The UFC main event starts now as former women's bantamweight champion Miesha Tate faces MMA Fighting Global Rankings' eighth-ranked bantamweight, Ketlen Vieira. The show airs live from UFC Apex, Nevada, Las Vegas, on November 21. Both prelims and the main card will show exclusively on ESPN+. The live coverage will also include UFC Fight Night Pre-show: Vieira vs. Tate to provide fans with exclusive views on the biggest stories about Fight Night 198. Ketlen Vieira (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is a powerful grappler who delivers hard and heavy strikes with conviction that she'll be the one on top of the opponent if things go her way. Once she gains control, she is usually calm and methodical in finding the right opportunity for a ground-and-pound attack or a submission. Vieira has a significant strike accuracy of 36% and a significant strike defense of 53%. She also has a takedown accuracy of 48% and a takedown defense of 92%. On the other hand, Miesha Tate (19-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) is a former UFC and Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion and is one of the biggest stars in the history of the sport. She stepped out of her five-year retirement from the sport earlier this year, and she returned to the competition with a third-round stoppage victory over Marion Reneau. Grappling is the specialty of Tate. She has a solid and determined wrestling game, and she shows excellent toughness and resilience in grappling scrambles. She does exceptionally well to combine her striking into grappling exchanges and vice versa. She also chain-wrestles fine. When she gains control of her foe, she is actively looking for opportunities to strike for submissions. Tate has a 42% significant strike accuracy and a 51% significant strike defense. She also has a 32% takedown accuracy and a 52% takedown defense. Both women frequently rely on their grappling. However, each of them has its own striking advantages. Tate is more technical, whereas Vieira carefully waits for her chance to strike and dish out heavy damage. In terms of strength and accuracy, it is clear that Vieira has the advantage over Tate, and there is a good chance that Vieira will emerge victorious. However, this is Vieira's first main event, and it is against a former champion, so many uncertainties exist. 11/21/21, 7:00 AM (PHT) at the UFC Apex, Nevada, Las Vegas.

  23. POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: LOS ANGELES LAKERS: PG | Russell Westbrook SG | Avery Bradley SF | Kent Bazemore PF | LeBron James C | Anthony Davis BOSTON CELTICS: PG | Marcus Smart SG | Jaylen Brown SF | Jayson Tatum PF | Al Horford C | Robert Williams III The Los Angeles Lakers are set to reignite an old rivalry as they visit the Boston Celtics on November 20, 2021, 8:30 a.m. PST. The last match between the two teams ended in 113-121, with the Boston Celtics claiming the win. This season, the Boston Celtics have shown inconsistent performance. With a current record of 7-7, the Celtics are unfortunately placed in the lower half of the standings of the Eastern Conference. This may be due to the fact that there had been recent coaching changes, with Ime Udoka as the head coach for the Celtics. However, despite the obstacle that the team is facing, they would need to modify their game plan, with more focus on execution. The Celtics are hopeful to raise their standing, especially by establishing Dennis Schröder as the key player, given his hot play last November 12, 2021, against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. Ever since, he has maintained his game, along with his well-founded defense and scoring, which evidently fits the Celtics’ image. With Jayson Tatum struggling to be more up to speed recently, the team hopes that Schröder will boost their efficiency and provide excellent scoring in the starting rotation, especially since Jaylen Brown is absent. Similar to the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers are also having a hard time given that their team is not the healthiest it has ever been. Their offense is still a work in progress, focused on Russell Westbrook, who is obviously struggling this season. The Lakers are particularly unstable this season due to being highly dependent on the big three: Davis, Westbrook, and Anthony. If the big three lose their rhythm, then the same happens to the whole team. As a result, they crash and lose. As for positive news for the Lakers, Talen Horton-Tucker is back from his thumb injury and LeBron James is most likely to return for the Lakers’ match against the Celtics after being out for two weeks due to abdominal strain. Our prediction? Given that the Los Angeles Lakers are all over the place with Westbrook still trying to work on his decision-making skills, and with several players either sidelined or out due to injuries, going up against the Boston Celtics will surely be challenging for them. As for the Celtics, focusing on the game plan would be the best course of action to avoid irregularities. According to ESPN's Basketball Power Index, the Celtics have a 60.3% chance of winning, which leaves the Lakers a 39.7% chance to win. With this, we expect the Celtics to take home the win for this match since the Lakers are not exactly at their best right now. Will the Celtics be able to beat the Lakers twice? Or will the Lakers finally break their cycle of struggle and bring home the victory for this one? Let’s find out on November 20, 2021, 8:30 a.m. PST, at the TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts.
  24. Jason Quigley takes a shot against the World Boxing Organization Middleweight Title held by the undefeated Demetrius Andrade this 20th of November 2021 at SNHU Arena, New Hampshire, US. This is the Irishman’s first attempt at a world title. Current titleholder Demetrius Andrade alias Boo Boo will not make this an easy duel though as he stands currently with zero losses and is expected to remain a formidable opponent. Know everything you need to know about these two professional boxers before placing your bets and take a closer look at their stats: Demetrius Andrade 30/0/0 18 American 6’0” 73.5” 33 Southpaw (L) 2008 188 Boxer Record (W/L/D) KOs Nationality Height Reach Age Stance Debut Pro Rounds Jason Quigley 19/1/0 14 Irish 6’1” 71.5” 30 Orthodox (R) 2014 83 Quigley is an underdog. While there’s a certain charm and glory to root for first timers at a world title, Andrade is well backed with his experience and consistent track record of victories. The comparisons here can turn granular with little differences between both their career histories, training preparation, and fighting attributes creating sliding moments for a win: Quigley is taller and younger but has a 2” reach difference; meanwhile, Andrade has maintained an impressive 188 rounds in the ring; and lastly, their stances are both in diametrical opposition to each other in terms of position and function. Who will take the belt home then? Main card broadcasts at around 7 AM GMT. Main event ring walk for the WBO Middleweight Title 12-round contest between Andrade and Quigley will start at around 10 AM GMT this Friday, November 20. Catch the action on its live broadcast at DAZN (excluding Uzbekistan) worldwide! For updates and announcements, follow WBO at wboboxing.com.
  25. POTENTIAL LINEUPS: Atlanta Falcons: 1. Matt Ryan 2. Cordarrelle Patterson 3. Russell Gage 4. Tajae Sharpe 5. Olamide Zaccheaus 6. Kyle Pitts 7. Keith Smith 8. Jake Matthews 9.

Jakob Johnson 8.Isaiah Wynn 9. Ted Karras 10. David Andrews 11. Shaq Mason 12. Trent Brown At the start of Week 11 in the National Football League 2021, Atlanta Falcons collide against New England Patriots! On Thursday November 18, 2021 08:20 PM, tune in at the matchup in Mercedes Benz Stadium as we witness whether wings will soar or will they be beaten to red, white, and blue. Winning a current four consecutive, New England Patriots has yet to disappoint fans this season and they have been on an onslaught to redeem victory. Atlanta Falcons, on the other hand, have a lot to be threatened by and unfortunately, their recent engagements are unremarkable to say the least. At its current standing, let’s look at the numbers these two teams are performing: New England Patriots Atlanta Falcons Total First Downs 215 175 Total Offensive Yards 3562 2918 Total Rushing Yards 1145 746 Offense (Plays/Ave Yards) 632/5.6 561/5.2 Total Passing Yards 2417 2172 Passing (Completions/Attempts/Interceptions/Average) 232/333/7/7.7 219/331/9/6.9 Touchdowns 30 19 Average Time of Possession 30:57 28:34 [Text Wrapping Break]The numbers do not lie—New England Patriots’ tactical offense and formidable defense are a force to be reckoned with. Falcon’s Matt Ryan is an excellent quarterback but gaining the worst passer rate in his career against the Cowboys last Sunday, his ordeal may not easily end this week if the Pats block off their team’s passing gameplay. It will take a very strong will to bet for the Falcons this week. The team often struggle in running the football and with an instinctive dependence to both Ryan and running back Cordarrelle Patterson, Patriots are keen to keep these players off the field. On the other side, running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are expected to bolt their way to constant offenses for Mac Jones to score. That is a hard sell for the Falcons. Watch Patriots (6-4) versus Falcons (4-5) live this Friday November 19, 2021 09:20 AM PST at Fox, NFL Network, and Amazon. Follow NFL for constant updates, announcements, and schedule at nfl.com.
