Week Four

Tuesday @ 7pm - Freedom [3-0] @ Simply pool Souls [0-3]
Simply Pool Souls have had a tough start to their time in PRO averaging just one win a match. While Jason and Joe are capable of winning a few games a week, they cannot carry alone with such talent residing in every league. Players like Monte and guns will need to step up, especially this week if they look to gain some ground outside of their conference. Freedom comes in rolling like last season with wins from everyone. While Freedom may not need to take this seriously, they'll still need to start strong to avoid an upset.

Prediction - 5-1 Freedom

Tuesday @ 7pm - Break and Run [2-1] @ Dead Strokes [1-2]
Much bigger match-up here as Break and Run sit first after a big win over Sexy Poolerz last week while Dead Strokes were 2 wins away from a 3-0 record with game 9 losses in the past 2 weeks. On paper, Break and Run is a lot more talented with the likes of Jordy, Jim and Croz, but with the likes of Scott and Eddie being on fire so far, Dead Strokes are far from a pushover. Couldn't find any recent match-ups between the two sides, so while Dead Strokes should be able to keep it close, Break and Run should be able to pull it out.

Prediction - 5-3 Break and Run

Wednesday @ 6pm - 8Ball Crushers [2-1] @ Straight Shots [2-1]
Two talented teams who are incredibly inconsistent go to battle this week. 8BC are a talented bunch, but have hit a few hiccups in the road making them a team no one really enjoys playing against, but that aside, they are a talented bunch when they all show up and can take down any team. Straight Shots come into this one on different form then past seasons, they actually have a winning record before the half way point of the season, but I guess with Ant, that just comes naturally. Ant is a great pick up for SS who seem to house all the returns of great players, so with him added to the due of Jon and Pita who like to heat up late in the season, Straight Shots have jumped to a title contender. If 8BC are able to bring their top 5, they will certainly be able to test Straight Shots top 3 with their depth, and while players like Kron and Rocky have a history for carrying all 4-5 wins, it's a tall task against a hot SS squad.

Prediction - 5-4 Straight Shots

Thursday @ 7pm - Latin Pool Legends [0-3] @ Sexy Poolerz [2-1]
Latin Pool Legends have had a poor start to their quest for back-to-skip-a-season-to-back-to-back titles. While their roster size hasn't really changed, Daru's play has. He was the only reason LPL made it to the playoffs and so far he hasn't been able to carry the load, already a few games back of the playoffs, but Gus has returned "home" and if LPL finish with less than 6 wins, I'll be surprised. Gus is talented enough, and will give his ol' amigo a morale boost and Daru should get back to form, which makes this match a great one. Sexy Poolerz were acclaimed the greatest team other than the Mighty Ducks when the new era of SP was formed, and it worked out well until last week when I don't think they got a single win in any interleague, couple that with multiple boxing's and withdrawals in past weeks, and Brice has his hands full. The Titanic was a super ship, a world phenomenon, but in the end just turned into a classic movie to get laid next too. Will we be getting laid with the memory of Brice, Kerry, Sean and Craig in the near future? I sure hope not but Brice will need to steady the ship before they sink Y!Pool style.

Prediction 5-3 Latin Pool Legends
