Week Seven

Deep Pockets [0-6] vs Pool Hall Pros [0-6]
Last week: DP lost vs SS 4-5, PHP lost to BNR 0-5
In the first match of the week, we will see one of these two cellar dwellers get their first win. Both sides are too talented to be 0-6 yet that is where they both find themselves. DP have been in some late matches though, recently a game 9 last week vs SS and a game 8 against FR but couldn't finish it off. PHP have taken a top team to the wire as well but couldn't get it done in game 9 vs FTW. The issue for PHP is that they have no consistent players as only Candi seems to show regularly. DP are not that much more consistent, but have more consistency with players like Matt and Will. This really is a toss up as both Matt and Will could pose a big threat to Candi & co., but if she can get her newest addition Ash to show up, he should be the deciding factor.

Prediction - 5-4 PHP

For The Win [4-2] vs Straight Shots [5-1]
Last week: FTW lost vs FR 4-5 , SS def. DP 5-4
Both sides are coming off matches that went the distance but different results. FTW let one slip away against Freedom but are still a game ahead for the first overall seed with a current tie break over BNR. Danielle & co. are -2 for the first time possibly ever in PRO, but with the likes of Ant, Brian and Carlos leading the way, should the times ever get tough for them, those 3 are the first to make it easy once again for FTW. This week may be a tough task though as SS have been picking up momentum with their marquee player, Dante finally hitting his stride as the wins keep coming in. The issue for Straight Shots though is beyond Dante and their captain Sid, no one else has broken through this season, so with the likes of Danielle, Roy and Stephen backing their top three up, Straight Shots' streak should finally see the end.

Prediction - 5-3 FTW

Dead Strokes [2-4] vs Freedom [4-2]
Last week: DS lost to BBM 0-5, FR def. FTW 5-4
A minor rivalry of old is renewed this week in what is shaping up to be this weeks best chance at a blow out. Dead Strokes got swept last week which doesn't bode well at all for George and Omar as they aren't able to take advantage of the early season falters by both BNR and FTW. They will need their best to show if they look to have any shot against an upbeat Freedom squad. Freedom have been on fire lately and seemingly only getting better as they were able to take FTW to the wire last week and beat them in 9. Pete hasn't lost since his return this season and the pick-ups of Cam and Sergio has added key depth to this squad. Freedom shouldn't have much issue with this match this week.

Prediction - 5-1 FR

Break and Run [3-3] vs Beer Ball Masters [6-0]
Last week: BNR def. PHP 5-0, BBM def. DS 5-0
Two sides that could both very well meet up in the finals meet up this week after coming off blow outs this past week. The win for BNR finally ended their longest losing skid in recent memory but unless they keep that momentum going, they'll start another one quick. Jordy and Craig are going to have to play like it's 2010 if BNR look to have a shot at the number one seed. On the flip side, it looks like BBM is on cruise control for the first overall seed, last week was a clean sweep who seem to finally have hit their stride as Brent is no longer the go to man, as all these men are. If Coma and Kevin are able to make this match and pick up a win in their first game, it should be lights out for Break and Run.

Prediction - 5-3 BBM
