konami casino slots Duke rallies from 14 down, beats Wake Forest 23-17 on final-play passDo you have space in your portfolio for some new ASX 200 shares? If you do, then it could be worth looking at the three listed below that Bell Potter rates as buys. Here's why the broker named them as best buys for 2025: ( ) This building materials and property development company could be an ASX 200 share to buy according to Bell Potter. Its analysts have a buy rating and $32.00 price target on its shares. The broker believes that Brickworks is positioned for growth thanks to probable interest rate cuts in 2025. It explains: We see BKW as a high delta exposure to interest rate cuts and by extension a stock to own as we edge closer to the cycle pivot point (Bell Potter's base case for our first cut is 1H CY25). Specifically, we see a scenario unfolding where BKW could realise double digit mark-to-market NTA growth p.a. quite comfortably in coming years through positive revals (i.e. cap rate reversal), ongoing property development and rent reversion (BKW remains ~28% underrented and 50% short-WALE), as well as continued SOL outperformance. This is a growth story we think few ASX-200 industrials can currently match. ( ) Another ASX 200 share that could be a best buy in 2025 according to the broker is financial services company Perpetual. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $24.76 price target on its shares. Although the company's disposal of the Corporate Trust (CT) and Wealth management (WM) businesses to KKR for $2.175 billion looks likely to collapse, the broker remains positive and sees significant value in its shares. It said: We remain positive for three reasons. Firstly, although the demerger may not happen, CT & WM are good businesses which are growing, have relatively stable earnings, and are cash generative. Secondly, the new CEO Bernard Reilly has made it a priority to address the cost base. Clarity about costs should start to see forecasts rising. Thirdly, the shares are unloved and undervalued, with the asset management business having an implied valuation of 4.5-5.5x EBITDA. The recent share price movements highlight the upside from a small positive change in sentiment. ( ) Finally, if you are interested in gaining exposure to , then Boss Energy could be the ASX 200 share to do it with according to Bell Potter. It has a buy rating and $5.70 price target on its shares. The broker believes it would be a great way to gain exposure to an upcoming uranium bull market. It explains: Boss Energy's Honeymoon project recommenced production in April-24, with 1Q25 production and sales of 89klbs and 57klbs respectively. The Alta Mesa project with JV partner enCore energy in South Texas also recommenced production, with a target of reaching 1.5Mlbs pa by CY26 (BOE share 450klbs pa). We continue to see significant value in BOE, with optionality around expansion at Honeymoon via low-risk and cost regional resources at Jasons and Goulds Dam. With the inclusion of Alta Mesa, BOE boasts a geographically diversified multi-asset portfolio with several growth levers yet to be pulled, heading into a uranium bull market.

Kingsview Wealth Management LLC Grows Stake in PGIM Total Return Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:PTRB)CINCINNATI (AP) — Saturday's wild overtime win over the Denver Broncos was the most important in what has been a mostly disappointing season for the Cincinnati Bengals. Not only did the Bengals (8-8) win their fourth straight for the first time this season and keep their slim playoff hopes alive, but they also finally made enough plays late to win a close game. Seven of their previous eight losses were by one score. And Cincinnati also got a win over one of the league's better teams. Its seven previous victories came against sub-.500 teams. Joe Burrow, in the midst of the best season of his career, threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins with 1:07 left in overtime to win it 30-24. The final drive followed two critical stops by the Cincinnati defense. “We’ve known we had a good football team all along,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. “And those (close) games are disappointing that we came up short, but they didn’t change our process. They didn’t change what our guys believed in. We didn’t have to change everything we did. We still believed in what we were doing. And now we’ve won four in a row, and we have to make it five in a row.” The playoffs are still a long shot. To get there, the Bengals will have to go into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers next weekend in the regular-season finale and also count on other bubble teams losing. What's working The Bengals are playing their best football of the season. Burrow, battered by the Denver pass rush, completed nearly 80% of his passes in piling up 412 yards and three touchdowns. It marked his eighth straight game with at least 250 yards and three touchdown passes, extending his NFL record. ... Receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who had nine catches for 102 yards against the Broncos, could finish the season with the receiving triple crown — most catches, yards and touchdowns. What needs help The offensive line continues to struggle, even with the return of starting left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. Burrow rarely had a clean pocket, was constantly on the run and was sacked seven times and hit 15 times. Stock up The Cincinnati defense, much maligned this season, forced two Denver punts in overtime. The second one led to the Bengals' game-winning drive. Linebacker Germaine Pratt intercepted Bo Nix to end a Denver drive in the fourth quarter. “For them to rise up and get those two stops and allow the offense a shot to go win it (is) big-time stuff,” Taylor said. Higgins caught 11 passes for 131 yards and was the recipient of all three of Burrow's touchdown passes. "Everybody can see what kind of player he is," Burrow said of Higgins, who is playing this season with the franchise tag. “He elevates us to a different level when he’s playing like that.” Stock down Kicker Cade York, who was signed in early December to fill in for the injured Evan McPherson, had a chance to win the game with 2:49 left in overtime, but his 33-yard field-goal attempt bounced off the left upright. Injuries RB Chase Brown sprained his ankle in an awkward slide as the Bengals tried to run out the clock in regulation. ... OT Amarius Mims suffered an injury to his right hand. Key number 499 — total yards by the Bengals against Denver. Next steps The Bengals finish the season at Pittsburgh. The Steelers beat them 44-38 on Dec. 1. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Mitch Stacy, The Associated Press

Roy Keane and Ricky Gervais shared a hilarious moment on the latest episode of Stick to Football this week. The actor/comedian shared his pet hate and one that former Ireland star Keane has spoken about before on previous episodes on the show on The Overlap YouTube channel. Keane has voiced his distain for leaf blowers and it seems he has found an ally who shares his hatred in Gervais.

Why have they got leaf blowers? What are they doing? They’re blowing leaves into the street, well they’re going to blow back.” Keane reacted to Gervais outspoken burst by smiling and shaking his hand. “The last episode, he (Keane) spoke about leaf blowers,” Scott said in response. “Especially early in the morning, if it’s early in the morning,” Keane said. Gervais added: “Honestly, I want to go to the council, can we ban leaf blowers? It’s bad for the environment, its noisy, its pointless. Do you know what I think? I think that gardener that’s doing it, he can hear that its working because it’s not doing anything.” Keane couldn’t help himself in showing his frustration: “The bit that annoys me is that one does it, he blows the leaves down there and then the other garderner blows them f***ing back, they just keep doing it every day blowing leaves back. They’re getting lazy.” “Vacuum it up,” concluded Gervais. Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email alerts .

Gilas Pilipinas coach Tim Cone and Kai Sotto during the Fiba Asia Cup 2025 qualifiers game vs New Zealand. –MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net Gilas Pilipinas’ seemingly endless years of torment at the hands of New Zealand finally reached its resolution on Thursday night in the Fiba Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers after a heart-stopping 93-89 triumph carved out before nearly 17,000 screaming souls at Mall of Asia Arena. That showed how much this edition of the National Five has come since its debut last summer. And what this team has so far done is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg for a program that has hit its stride lately. SCHEDULE: Gilas Pilipinas at Fiba Asia Cup 2025 qualifiers “We haven’t seen our best team yet,” coach Tim Cone said after the win very few saw coming. “We’ve been able to beat the No. 6 team (Latvia in the Olympic qualifiers) and the No. 22 (in New Zealand). “So we’re still trying to see where we can go and how far we can go.” The next battle will not actually give the team the best answer to that, but rather open up the chance for Cone to be able to play his Nationals of lesser light when the Filipinos battle Hong Kong to sweep yet another window and secure a berth to the main tournament of the continental meet that will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in August next year. Justin Brownlee leads Gilas Pilipinas to a historic win over New Zealand in the Fiba Asia Cup 2025 qualifiers at Mall of Asia Arena. –MARLO CUETO/INQUIREr.net “My hat is really off to the players and to what they’ve been doing to get to this level and to get to this point,” Cone said as he heaped praise on his charges, particularly Justin Brownlee, Kai Sotto and Scottie Thompson. “I think we should be all proud of them,” he said. There were, however, some things that Cone saw against the Kiwis which he didn’t like, something for him to address if he wants the Filipinos to keep chopping down bigger, heftier sides. READ: Gilas not in ‘best team’ form yet even with win vs New Zealand “The disappointment tonight was that we did give up 18 three-point shots. We have to get better at defending that,” he said during the postgame presser. Only the steely resolve to win against the Tall Blacks—and be denied at home once again—got the Nationals through. “They were 18-for-35 [from deep]. That’s incredible shooting. And so we got to tip our cap to them,” he said of New Zealand. “[But] despite the incredible shooting, we were still able to win the game. So again, give credit to our guys.” Brownlee put up 26 points that went with 11 rebounds and four assists, along with two steals and a pair of blocks. Sotto turned in his finest game in a Gilas uniform with 19 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Thompson chipped in 12 points, four rebounds and six assists to go with Chris Newsome’s 11 points, which was capped by a dagger three-pointer that was touched off by a key stop that sealed the Philippines’ rise to 3-0 in Group B. “I remember this time—and I remember this very distinctly—where there was a lot of talk about Scottie [that he] can’t play in the international game,” Cone said of Thompson, who was playing his first Gilas game back after missing the Olympic qualifiers back in July due to a bad back. “The thing with Scottie, you can look at the video all you want. But until you get to the floor and play against him, you don’t realize what he’s doing out there on the floor for you.” Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.
