Week Three

Monday @ 7pm - Pool Hall Pros [1-1] vs Break and Run [0-2]
A very pivotal match for both squads entering this weeks match. A win for PHP would allow them to space themselves as a playoff team entering the cross conference part, while a loss for Break and Run may crush their season hopes of returning to the playoffs and reaching past greatness. With only one real match under the belt of PHP, it's hard to see who will help lead them to victory, if at all. While looking at Break and Runs small roster like seasons past, you can tell who is doing their best to lead the team to victory, like seasons past. Ross and Jordy are the only two with victories for Break and Run, and while Jordy has proven to lift a team out of no where into a playoff spot in previous seasons, he'll certainly need to step it up soon before their playoff hopes vanish, either that or the team steps up and wins as a team.

Prediction - 5-3 Break and Run

Tuesday @ 7pm - Sexy Poolerz [1-1] vs Freedom [0-2]
At the start of the season, you could imagine both these teams would be 2-0 heading into a week 3 match-up like this, but this is far from that. While a 1-1 record isn't that bad, an 0-2 mark for Freedom is indeed shocking. Much of the blame could be directed at Pete, or rather the team without him. With just about everyone talking about how Freedom, in his absence, has been a complete disaster with no direction and more losses than his beloved Canadian basketball team. Is he the Canadian, Y!Pool version of Peyton Manning? Doubtful as he's pretty short, but a comparison is valid. Freedom will need to get their act together with, or without him if they look to bounce back and make the playoffs. This could be a great opportunity for Sexy Poolerz to notch another win against Freedom and not only bury their rivals, but get a potential leg up on Dead Strokes in what is shaping up to be a very interesting conference. If Pete is able to return, the line up he'll have should be one to marvel at, but Brice is no stranger to that and he'll have his big guns ready for what will be a great match-up.

Prediction - 5-4 Freedom

Tuesday @ 7pm - Dead Strokes [1-1] vs Straight Shots [2-0]
One surprise, against a team full of surprises. For all the hype Luis had been given prior to the season, he has fallen short while the dark horse in Ashton I mentioned in the pre-season predictions came to the rescue last week against Freedom with a superb 4 win effort. With his talent, and Jose as a solid 1b back-up to Luis and his power outages, Dead Strokes have the tools for a great finish and potentially top spot in the conference, that is of course, if Straight Shots ever lose.. Many predictions were made for Straight Shots to win 2 matches, all season. While they haven't proven anyone wrong yet, it's hard to ignore their start and call it a fluke. In back to back weeks, they were carried by the same two players, showing that the depleted SS team will always have depth. It's hard to beat Dead Strokes with just two players though, unless you have timers in your back pocket of course, so Straight Shots will need to dig deep this week if they look to make it three straight for a start no one could have ever imagined for them.

Prediction - 5-3 Dead Strokes

Wednesday @ 7pm - New Era [1-1] vs For The Win [2-0]
If, IF, New Era show with 5 for this week, this will be a superb match to say the very least. With players like Ant, Dante, Daz and Jeremy on one side, the likes of Cam, Jon, Mike, and JT will have their hands full if they look to show PRO that they are serious about winning this season. For all the shit FTW get regarding Ant/Danielle/Craig etc, all those silly rules that were set in place prior to this season, probably control that to make sure nothing like that happens, so until they get caught (if they are cheating), the accusations to me just seem like an act of jealousy. Under the assumption New Era come with a full team, this match will go deep and late, but it's hard to bet against a certain FTW side.

Prediction - 5-3 For The Win
