Week Three

Monday @ 6pm - For The Win [2-0] vs Break and Run [2-0]
The clear top two sides in the Atlantic Conference face off, and while at the start of the season predicting a winner would be easy, a now reloaded Break and Run squad look to challenge FTW for the top spot. With new additions in Lewis and Craig debuting last week, the starting five of Break and Run (Gus, Jordy, Mina, Lewis and Craig) might be the best here in PRO this season, but then again that's only on Thursdays. Who Ross can get to show on Monday will be interesting to see. On the flip side, FTW is a consistent team that can get the same 4-5 on any night so unless the likes of Gus and Jordy are able to show, Danielle & co. shouldn't have an issue this week.

Prediction - 5-3 For The Win

Tuesday @ 7pm - Dead Strokes [0-2] vs Straight Shots [1-1]
In what was supposed to be a match-up between the top two sides in the Pacific, we see two sides going in opposite directions. Dead Strokes came into this season, with Omar hyping themselves up even further with all these great recruits. The only new-recruit doing any damage at all in DS isn't even the result of Omar according to Craig. Yeesh. Straight Shots on the flip side are only getting stronger with the return of Charlie and the likes of Mike coming back. Despite being 1-1, they really are the top team in the conference in my eyes after a tough loss to Break and Run last week. A win over DS this week will, for the time being at least, show that they are just that. SS have too many weapons to quiet Rocky and Omar it seems only has Rocky..

Prediction - 5-2 Straight Shots

Wednesday @ 7pm - Freedom [2-0] vs Rack Dem Up [0-2]
While Freedom are certainly off to a much better start than last season, they haven't faced a top tier team yet and even though RDU are better without Thomas, this isn't much of a match up. While everyone hopped on the Freedom bandwagon again, the only stars that have returned this season so far are Andy and Travis who have only played one week thus far. Despite DJ hopping off to a quick 3-0 start, no one in Freedom has needed to carry because they have just been rolling over teams which should continue this week. Thomas has finally done what he has done best and leave his own league. Jess is in tough this week without one of her top players, but she has one thing going for her: No Thomas! Will RDU get those players back that Thomas drove away? Who knows, hopefully a thumping by Freedom doesn't drive people away.

Prediction - 5-1 Freedom

Thursday @ 6pm - Pool Hall Pros [1-1] vs Pool Dragonz [1-1]
A big match-up here as we see two sides that very well will be fighting for the third spot all season long. PHP has been the better of two so far in their non-RDU match-ups losing by just one to FTW. While PDZ got beat in week 1 by Break and Run. Up and down the roster, it seems PHP has the edge here, and should be able to take this handily.

Prediction - 5-2 Pool Hall Pros

Thursday @ 7pm - Harley Hustlers [1-1] vs 8Ball Crushers [0-2]
The final match-up of the week showcases HH who were not only able to rebound after a thumping by Freedom in week 1, but do so against DS in game 9. So who are HH? Will they be for real this season or just a team that goes up and down with consistency? If they are able to continue the poor start by 8BC, it's a step in the right direction for them. 8BC have had the harshest start to the season because of their schedule, but all that means is that it gets easier down the road. They have players who are capable of carrying, and maybe a match-up with HH will start to get the wins coming in. If Andrew is able to play his cards right at home, this match will be close and in a case like that, either side could win.

Prediction - 5-4 Harley Hustlers
