Week 8 Picks - THE OCHO!

Whoo! New top 5 coming at the end of the week, as well.

We start with Monday. Cue Keepers @ UNY. OK UNY took one on the chin at the hands of Breakers Alley the other day. Now, in all fairness, I think this is similar to the BA team we saw back in Season 2, when they had a legit chance at making the Playoffs, only to lose out because of a 4-way tie at 6-6. But UNY have to expect MUCH more than that, especially now with goodwooter leaving PZ to play there. I think Cue Keepers will roll, probably 5-2 or maybe even 6-1.

The other Monday matchup... Cheap Shotz @ Breakers Alley. While I think BA are pretty good this season, they're not THAT good. CZ is shaky, but they're not THAT iffy. Cheap Shotz likely win this one 5-2, as well. By the way, that would TIE CZ with Breakers Alley record-wise.

On Tuesday... Malditos @ Pool Legends - If this were last week, PL wins 4-3. ...This is this week, and Cal just quit. That's a HUGE blow, and I expect a little fall-out from PL. Malditos will win this match, probably a 4-3, 5-2 at the worst.

Pool Pals @ Straight Shots - Well SS outplayed BP last week with a squad full of whoever they could get. It's scary to think of what they can do with their best. Pals are a great league to measure up against, too, which is why this is my Match of the Week. I'm taking SS to make an impact with these few weeks they get to play with, now that the admins have also accepted the idea of joining at the halfway point. 4-3, ALL ABOARD THE SS BANDWAGON!

Hump Day sees Pool Masters @ 8Ball Runners - 8BR probably the 2nd, maybe 3rd best league now in MLP... Pool Masters have some shooters, could be a good match. I think 8BR will win it though, and MJ will come out of his little funk. 5-2 for the Runners, as they follow up on their domination of PFN last week.

End of the week... PZ-LS, stick a fork in PZ they're done, if they lose this. Though I think Lucky Shotz may be the better league. I like TOny to lead the Shots past Pool Loverz, until I get to see what PZ has to them, in the next 2-3 weeks.

PFN-BNR... I'm not gonna pick PFN matches I never get them right lmao
