It’s week 8 of the NFL season and as usual the NFL has a great slate of games and players to watch. With another game in London, a Sunday night matchup between two undefeated teams and some bitter divisional action, there is plenty for bettors to choose from.

Living up to its lofty expectations, Game 1 of the Major League Baseball 2015 World Series brought us a little bit of everything as it was an epic battle from start to finish. Coming back from a 14-inning marathon, the Kansas City Royals host the New York Mets for Game 2 of the MLB Fall Classic tonight. Apart from a bases loaded walk, the most anticlimactic walk-off winning play in baseball ended last night’s contest as the Royals posted a 5-4 win with a bases loaded sacrifice fly to grab a 1-0 series lead. A dry but chilly evening is the weather forecast as the Royals and Mets battle at 6:07 PM ET on October 28, 2015, at Kauffman Field in Missouri. Back Jacob deGrom and the Mets with runs here.

It is a two horse race for the Pacific division in 2016, with the Golden State Warriors entering the year as the NBA champs and the Clippers remaining one of the Western conference’s elite team. The Suns, Kings and Lakers all look to get back into the postseason, but will need some serious luck to win the division.

After only producing one playoff team in 2015, the Northwest division has seen a couple of its franchises improve and there is a good chance that number will double this year.

Puck drop for this NHL Western versus Eastern Conference clash is slated for 10:30 PM ET on October 23, 2015, at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. Swim with the Sharks here.

The Southwest division is shaping up to be one of the best in the NBA this coming season. The battle for the top spot is likely to be focused between two Texas-based franchises with both teams aiming for more than just a division title by the end of the 2016 season.
