Weekly Picks

OK class let's begin. Poolfighters hosting SuperbPool. Now since Danny boy did his picks before me I get to copy him :D Nah..more like agree or disagree, and of course who in their right mind would disagree with him? Fighters DO win this 5-2, SuperbPool have a good team, they're very unlucky, but they're no week 1 EZ8.

Regul8ors at the Poolmasters next up and again: Agree Regs win it 4-3. Yes they choke more than first-time female pornstars but they know how to recover and they are nothing short of clutch. Granted PM have lost zackman as well, that won't help them at all, with him they had a much better chance. He picked the wrong time to leave them. If it goes to 7 look for dan vs. jimvan, sure to be a real matchup.

BritPool at Breakers Alley - Dan: 4-3 BA. Tempted to go with the Brits here bu BritPool can't win outside of All Right Now. They're 0-3 in Away matches...oh excuse me, make that 0-4. Breakers beat an off-key LPL team, aka the normal LPL team this season. They had EZ8 beat last week except they gave a re-rack on the early 8, I'll even say the Breakers win this 5-2.

Outlaws and Hot Shotz...5-2 PO? Yeah, if not 6-1. Exit stage left jackal-dx, re-enter Jamie. Hot Shotz sadly just...aren't that hot. They've got a team capable of winning games, but not whole matches against a team like the Outlaws.

LPL visiting NewCastle...In the playoffs these last 2 seasons ogges has played the final game for LPL. Against HP in season 2 when he was the last, and first, and only player around, then in Season 3...LPL up 3-2...and LPL times out. So will he be the last game for LPL in season 4? Well, only if he plays game 7 of week 14. Neither of these teams can seem to win a game, Dan says 4-3 LPL, I say 4-3 NewCastle. LPL does have the better players, but it's those same players who lost to Breakers Alley, lost to SuperbPool, and everyone else so ar except CueKeepers and that was a 7-game decision. NewCastle will in fact win this week, but romper will need to show up unlike last week.

HappyPool and MadSkillz, Daniel says 4-3 Skillz, I say 5-2. See the thing is, yes they're huge surprises, but HP never seem to be prepared for a match. not_your_kitten can shoot, but in order for her to clinch the match you need 7 players, and 3 others have to win. Not gonna happen. 5-2 MZ, hi king_hustler.

BeerBallers and BlackSilver. Heh...First MJ and now rumors that coria could be jumping from bbm to the regs? With or without coria, there's still pascal, daru, clogz, BlackSilver has...Sean? ope banned...Lara? Nope...She quit...Tyler? Nope...he's PF...Moe? Nope...forgot he's with MZ now...Hey BS you guys better get some help or you're looking at 5-2 BBM like Dan says.

LuckyPool and XPool. 4-3 LKP? Uh...5-2. LuckyPool were really shakey in the beginning of the season as they were last season and hey, it's 2nd nature for them. They had a potential chance in week 13 to reach the playoffs, they can still reach now, it's not impossible. But...They'll need a lot of help. LuckyPool now of course with the true LKP squad, XPool with the same squad they've had this last couple seasons...who misses the Season 2 guys? *raises hand* XP can't buy a win, and LuckyPool should be able to beat 'em 5-2, and start a Red Sox late august-early September like rally.

EclipsePool and Break n Run and BNR will not have to worry about _MisterLucky_, he's boxed for 2 weeks. That coming after his outburst at the MLP HQ crying about Cam rules and cussing and all that fun stuff. So no him, and he was the umpire who accused BNR on these comment boards of causing the trouble in Thursday night's fiasco. He then quit ump, now..he's boxed. Not a good weekend for Robert. But all that aside, as much as I love BNR, they just can't quit match up to this EP team, even though they'll be up-down-up-down all season, Brandon always comes ready to win. So...5-2 EP sounds accurate but I'll say 4-3, it all depends whether or not the Elites are ready. They certainly weren't ready for LuckyPool, but they were red hot last week...See?

CueKeepers and PoolPimps...Dan's right, CKP has a good team, they need to shut up and put Thursday behind them, you do NOT wanna lose to PoolPimps here because that ties you with them, they have a legitimate chance of taking #6, it gives PLP priority, this match could decide whether or not CKP makes the Playoffs. They should win it with all that said, 5-2.

EZ8 and StraightShots will NOT be as close as Dan thinks. I know who am I to talk about Dan huh? He's been more accurate than I have. But, SS only lost because they had someone who in NFL terms would be a 2nd or even 3rd stringer playing game 7 against zame, JJ couldn't be there. They'll come in and win 5-2, they really only have 1 other team to worry about, that's PF, Shots should win their Division, barring some huge breakdown.

Here's one...Pool Hustlers and Smoking Cues. SC is another league that have really turned themselves around nicely. Last season they beat the Hustlers during the season and by Head to Head, won the NL Pacific. Well, they have a legitimate chance now with don boxed for his racist remarks to skratch during the Tour tonight. Doesn't matter who you are that shit does NOT belong anywhere near a league OR interleague. So, then there's the possibility Theike wo't make the match...Josh is gone...it's looking grim actually for the Hustlers but, not because they're my home league because you all know I can't stand some of their behavior. PH wins it 4-3.

And of course UnitedPool finally get a win.
