Extreme Pool Competitors [4-2] vs Brit Pool [2-4]
Quality over quantity is nice & all, but depth is a necessity. EPC may have the best starting 5, but they sometimes don't have 5. After newly added Ant drew the score against MIB to 2 a piece, Jack had to FF game 5 as he didn't have any other players, dropping a valuable W that may haunt them down the road. For BP they tried crossing the road to play SP last week but got hit by a bus or two as they were downed 4-1. It hasn't been a great weekend for Drew & company as they lost to TC in UIC, but had the best performance in the IPA all-star match. If Drew [Happy Birthday!] is able to succumb to his Birthday hang over in time for GIT, BP may be able to pull an upset.
Prediction - 3-2 EPC
Freedom [5-1] vs Money in the Bank [1-5]
Coming off a solid 3-2 victory over SS and jumping on EPC's miscue, Freedom find themselves in sole possession of first place, which is not bad at all considering they don't have a captain! With such a solid roster, including 3 players who were named to IPA's all star match, its no wonder Freedom are flying high. MIB are flying high as well after picking up their first win of the season, against EPC none the less! A great win for Rich & company who have picked up a few new players for yet another week. Freedom need to be careful because MIB have some serious talent now with God, Adam, Magician & Stevon.
Prediction - 3-2 Freedom
Utimate Outlaws [2-4] vs Straight Shots [2-4]
After a tough loss to MP this past week, the fact that UO's extra push is gone is coming to surface. UO has always been able to compete but lately with all the withdrawals, it seems that their winning ways are going to be dimmed down a touch. For SS, their GIT performance was dimmed down from the beginning and well, you can tell. But what's interesting in this match up, is while both teams are 2-4, these two have Saturday night off in UIC and are 1-2 in the standings. I don't think either team will miss this chance to try and get the other team worried, even if it is for another interleague.
Prediction - 3-2 UO
Sexy Poolerz [4-2] vs Magic Pool [4-2]
After back to back 4-1 victories over two teams from the lower half of the standings, Pete & company go back to testing their skills against a solid MP squad who had a bit of trouble with UO this past week, but were able to get past them 3-2. Both teams are fairly even in skill, but with SP having home-side advantage, they should get the nod in this one.
Prediction - 3-2 SP

Week 6
My apologies for this weeks predictions, it has been a hectic week to say the least, but thank you for reading & best of luck to everyone!
Brit Pool [2-3] vs Sexy Poolerz [3-2]
BP were able to break out of their slump by robbing enough out of MIB's piggy bank for a 3-2 victory they clinched in 4 games. Trey & company will look to continue that streak, and ride the streaks of his own [Trey, 3-0] as well as Adam [smooth_kid_2003, 2-0 with BP]. SP are shocked and confused I'm sure, their captain Pete has gotten off to a flawless 4-0 start, accounting for 1/3 of the teams victories. While I'm sure Ketan & the rest of them still wont take Pete's advise, Pete could care less as he leads a top notch team and will try and put together another win streak to keep pace with the top teams.
Prediction - 3-2 SP
Magic Pool [3-2] vs Ultimate Outlaws [2-3]
After being thumped by Freedom this past week, Chris & company look to rebound against a team on the downfall. Both Ian & Steve have been crucial for MP this season as the two of them have accounted for half the teams victories so far. For UO, the rest of the "league hoppers" are on their way out, but like I said last week, none of them really ever won. Rebs has some solid talent in her arsenal, why they haven't been able to break through is beyond me, but look for D [_xAUSTIN316x_] to break his slump as he's quite capable of a 7-8 win season.
Prediction - 3-2 MP
Straight Shots [2-3] vs Freedom [4-1]
After being blanked by EPC this past week, the road ahead for Nigel & company isn't much smoother as their opponents are atop the standings with that very same EPC crew. That side being Freedom, still "don't have a captain". The heart and soul of Freedom though have led them thus far to an almost flawless start defeating heavy weights SP & MP, and narrowly losing to EPC in the first week. It seems like they've been getting wins from everyone but the man who went 9-0 in IPA, so it doesn't seem like there is much to worry about here.
Prediction - 4-1 Freedom
Money in the Bank [0-5] vs Extreme Pool Competitors [4-1]
MIB were able to come close to BP last week but not close enough to be able to cash in their first win. Rich & company seem to be trying new things with all the new players coming in, and hopefully it turns out well for them. EPC have turned out quite well in the past few months, as they are second in both standings they are apart of. A large part of this here has been because of the likes of Ben, Mikey & Timm all being on their game as they all have 3 wins thus far.
Prediction - 4-1 EPC

Week 5
Money in the Bank [0-4] vs Brit Pool [1-3]
Being respectful, nice and every ones fan favourite sure is paying off for Rich & company. It seems lately MIB have had quite a few new comers, that could very well be the one to push MIB over the edge and start picking up some W's. Adam is the most notable one as when he is on his game, he is one of the best in the game, and now with Stevon & his followers coming here, Rich will have their support until they leave in a month. Many, many months you could have thought were the last ones for Drew & BP but they never left, and here they are. After a close lose to UO this past week, Trey will look for his guys to bounce back and slowly start to move up the standings. BP have the talent to make the playoffs, but maybe they're just waiting to make another UIC-like miracle run.
Prediction - 3-2 BP
Extreme Pool Competitors [3-1] vs Straight Shots [2-2]
Jack & company are flying high after dethroning the first place team this past week 3-2, and will now try and defeat a team everyone predicted to be at the top. Jack hasn't had the best of starts individually but his team has been able to carry the load and lead EPC to a top place tie. With everything that has gone on in the UIC shout box, I feel its necessary to compliment Kev on his first win in 3 tries here in GIT. He is a beast, that is clearly tamed. It was SS's first real win of the season this past week as they defeated MIB 4-1, and I know Nigel has told me that GIT isn't his #1 priority, but c'mon, this is SS! Nish has gotten off to a poor start as well, but once these players get back into their consistent methods, SS should be competing for a playoff spot down the road.
Prediction - 3-2 EPC
Freedom [3-1] vs Magic Pool [3-1]
Coming off what I believe is their best win this season, Freedom seem to be the best team in GIT, and if they can produce this week, then they're for real. With a team that highly resembles their top notch IPA team, its no wonder they are at the top. Everyone from top to bottom in their roster has been producing, and the ones with the lesser records seem to be the most dangerous ones on the team. With so much fire power, will MP's quiet arsenal be able to compete? MP have a solid team with the likes of Ian, Steve, Chris, DD, Sid, Andy & Joe, but with Pete being the one to match everyone up, Chris will need his boys to step it up if they look to stay atop the standings and avoid losing 2 straight.
Prediction - 3-2 Freedom
Ultimate Outlaws [2-2] vs Sexy Poolerz [2-2]
Who cares how they did last week, that's the past, and UO needs to look forward. Stevon & company strike again and have left UO, disrupting a few feathers along the way, leaving Rebs to take a step back and really ponder what she's been left with. On one side, you can look at everyone who's leaving and the numbers they've put up in GIT, and well, not much of a loss there. On the flip side though, shes losing numbers, can you really take quality of quantity if you cant field a team of 5? Rebs has fight and I do believe she'll still be able to show with a solid 5 and do even better. Ebs has been their best player thus far and will need to continue to produce if UO look to stay in the midst of the playoff race. SP were able to show that they are one of the better teams in GIT, taking Freedom to the limits and losing in a close one. As long as their heads are on right, Pete & company should be able to take advantage of UO's organizational troubles and get an easy win.

Week 4
Brit Pool [1-2] vs Ultimate Outlaws [1-2]
Coming off a big win against SS, BP have finally picked up their first win and hope to start a streak up. With such a deep roster, having enough is never the question, but having the players that are on key playing, is. Hopefully Drew & company can build upon last week against a UO side that were obliterated lasted week by Freedom. Rebs leads a solid squad that can compete with BP, but with home advantage meaning so much more in GIT, I have to give the tilt to BP.
Prediction - 3-2 BP
Sexy Poolerz [2-1] vs Freedom [2-1]
SP sure are strutting their stuff after a big 3-2 victory over EPC that went all the way to the wire. After playing their first test in GIT, SP now face a team that is shaping up to be the favourites to win it all. With a solid line-up consisting of players like Ash, Adam, Corey & now Craig to name just 4, why wouldn't they? Big test here for both sides to see where they find themselves in GIT.
Prediction - 3-2 Freedom
Magic Pool [3-0] vs Extreme Pool Competitors [2-1]
After a confusing 3-2 victory for MP this past week, Chris & company find themselves as the lone undefeated team left in GIT. Months ago MP seemed all but dead, withdrawing from interleagues, poor league activity, but with the return of Jane, the attitude of Chris, & Ian never giving up, MP are now once again at the top of all interleagues, and I'll throw this out there too, no aimer accusations for quite some time. They cleaned up well, and look to clean out EPC this week in what will be a great, great match. EPC have a solid squad as well with players like Timm & James leading the way for them. EPC show some inconsistency at times while MP is yet to have a major off week in their new era, I believe that'll be the tale of this weeks match-up.
Prediction - 3-2 MP
Straight Shots [1-2] vs Money in the Bank [0-3]
After bringing one of his best line-ups this season, Nigel still came away with a loss but looks ahead and will try and take advantage of a struggling MIB side. Rich & company have been competing every week with every team, but they just don't have that player or step-up that will push them over the edge [as evident with their three 2-3 losses]. I don't see it changing this week either.
Prediction - 3-2 SS
