Roses are red,
violets are blue.
They call me Mr. Pred,
& Joe smells like poo!
Brit Pool [#6 - 4-7] vs Money in the Bank [#8 - 2-9]
Both their seasons have been somewhat pooey. BP were able to eliminate UO from playoff contention last week with a 3-2 win, giving BP a bit of a boost as they are now the top non-playoff team, for now. Bringing a couple of new players who helped with their UIC run did the trick last week, and will look to do the same this week against an MIB squad who seem to be pushing everyone to the limits. While they lost in game 4 to SS, MIB could've won a few more games if luck hinted in their favour. MIB have quite a bit of talent now, and should give EPC & FR a few scares in their final 2 weeks, but for now, they need to beat up on the Brit-less Brit Poolers.
Prediction - 3-2 BP
Straight Shots [#3 - 7-4] vs Extreme Pool Competitors [#4 - 6-5]
With their victory over MIB last week, and EPC's loss to MP, SS were able to leap frog EPC in the standings make this 3-4 match-up, easily the most meaningful this week. A win here for SS will almost assure them a spot in the playoffs and would put EPC in a whole heap of trouble, a win here for EPC though, would make a mess of the standings, and that's what people like me would love to see. SS are coming in on fire with 5 straight wins, and will look to use that to their advantage as last time these two teams hooked up, EPC shut them out. EPC are in a bit of a free fall but have the talent to stop the bleeding and stay in playoff contention with SP hot on their heels.
Prediction - 3-2 EPC
Magic Pool [#2 - 7-4] vs Freedom [#1 - 8-3]
How is a 1 vs 2 not the match of the week? Simple, no matter the result, Freedom will continue to be atop the table, and MP's position just depends on how they do relative to SS. MP's schedule for the remainder of the season is almost identical in strength to SS's, the next 15 individual match-up's will be key. Freedom are coming off a tough loss to SP last week as the deciding factor in the match was the fact Freedom's captain had his tape stop recording half way through the match. After viewing the tape, I really feel behind in technology because I have no clue what happened, but instead of going into the shoulda, woulda & coulda's about it all, it's a good thing Freedom had built up a great lead through 10 weeks of the season, and while they still haven't clinched a playoff spot, they have a tough schedule ahead so they need to refocus, including Craig who needs to think about the team instead of ranting about a blog about MVP's in the shoutbox..
Prediction - 3-2 Freedom
Sexy Poolerz [#5 - 6-5] vs Ultimate Outlaws [#7 - 4-7]
Coming off a massive win over Freedom to keep their playoff hopes alive, SP look to start a run against a struggling UO squad. For one reason or another, UO havn't been able to finish matches off in GIT. With their loss against BP last week, UO have been ousted out of playoff contention and now get to play the roll of spoiler, and with the tools to do such, an upset over SP is possible, and would crush SP's playoff hopes.
Prediction - 3-2 SP
Holding a play-off spot / chasing a play-off spot / eliminated from play-off contention
