Week Five

Monday @ 7pm - New Era [1-3] vs Sexy Poolerz [2-2]
New Era, New Era, New Era. Where to begin? They showed for the second time this season bringing their showing percentage up to par (50%), but they were swept by their opponents lowering their winning percentage to 25%. The significance of these stats? No where near what's considered a play off team. While New Era was created with high hopes and expectations from the early hype, it's hard to give Jon any credit for running an interleague team. Sure real life problems happen and all that, but that doesn't count as an excuse to give you a better rep as a internet leader, as useless as an internet leader is. Sexy Poolerz will come with a good five, lucky for Jon he already has a few eligible from last week so Sexy Poolerz will have a game on their hands. Would be nice for Jon to pick up a win going into the second half and give his team confidence for making the playoffs, I want to bet on New Era, but the safe bet is for Sexy Poolerz.

Prediction - 5-3 Sexy Poolerz

Tuesday @ 7pm - Pool Hall Pros [1-3] vs Straight Shots [2-2]
You say Maria's a hoe, I say you're jealous. Doesn't mean she's not though, but PHP do have some good players coming in which is good for Sean & co. since almighty Trio is as much as a God as my left big toe nail. After starting the season 2-0, Straight Shots have had a bit of a fall losing back to back games, probably due to the three J's not winning any more. Looking up and down the rosters, if both sides were to bring their best 5 it would be a great match going down to the wire. Both sides have had a lot of poor player from most of their support players, so this match up looks to be a good one for someone to break out and pad their stats, and I'll have to give the nod to Pool Hall Pro's who should end their 3 game skid.

Prediction - 5-4 Pool Hall Pros

Tuesday @ 7pm - Break and Run [2-2] vs Dead Strokes [3-1]
Quite a doozey in this match with the likes of Jordy and Gus up against the trio of Ashton, Luis and Jose. Dead Strokes have been an all around great team this season with Ashton stepping up to the plate looking for an MVP title and the emergence of Nick and Aaron as superb support players. Break and Runs turn around has been credited to Jordy, and no one else. Jordy is +4, only makes sense that Break and Run is +2 now. The come back of Gus is a big one for Break and Run as Jordy doesn't need to roll his eyes as he sees the losses pile up these days. This match will come down to if Gus shows, and how well he plays. Jordy alone is out matched and even with luck, probably cannot take down Dead Strokes, and his support players won't have the best of luck going down that road either. Gus, like his Spanish twin Daru, can take over matches single handily if he chooses too. Gus will need to win 2-3 games if Break and Run look to take down a strong Dead Strokes squad who look to run away with their conference.

Prediction - 5-3 Dead Strokes

Thursday @ 7pm - For the Win [4-0] vs Freedom [1-3]
At the start of the season, this was supposed to be a 4-0 vs 4-0 match up, now it looks mighty lopsided looking at the records, but I doubt anyone thinks this match will be lopsided. Freedom turned things around last week with a 3-0 sweep over the short handed New Era squad. The word on the street is Freedom didn't miss a single shot in those 3 games that were played, which sure does seem to make up for all their mishaps in the previous 3 weeks. Players like Adam, Ben, and Conor (ABC) will need to continue their hot play if they look to help the team get back into the win column. For FTW, the equation is simple. Ant, Daz and Stephen will need to be there for Danielle, and on key if they look to topple a deep Freedom squad. With names like Scotty, Petey, Nish, Andy, Travis and Mike on top of the ABC combo, Petey knows he can bring an all-star line up in all 5 spots, and if Freedom does bring such a star-studded team, Danielle better hope Ant has some minutes on his phone.

Prediction - 5-3 Freedom
