Thursday night picks
Let's start with the former. A now generally loaded CKP team going against somewhat similar CZ. Let's just say... I'm glad I don't have to ref it. These two leagues really are evenly matched. It's gonna come down to who manages themselves better. Who keeps their mind on just the game. This sound familiar from an earlier CZ prediction? You've got Ben who plays intentionally slow, Joey, this awo guy whoever he is (never heard of em) with his constant racial slurs, yeah, it's gonna be a mental match. As for actual players, I like the prospect of a matchup between Pommy and Mickey, the 2 Captains. It's almost an unwritten rule that in a match with two evenly matched teams like this... Someway, somehow, it has to be 3-3 with the Captains playing Game 7. In that matchup, I like Pom to win. That's why I take Keepers to win, 4-3.
Similar situation, though the leagues aren't quite as stacked. PFN without Kerry, and instead Jamie captaining in her place. They take on Sova's Pool Legends. Interesting match because PL has been adding new in-house players lately, and they've been getting the opportunity to play. That could cause issues for PFN because it's a lot easier to play against a veteran player, than someone who truly doesn't care (rather than claims not to.) Neither league really has an A Team, so this match can be full of surprises. I think PL can knock off the NL's only remaining undefeated league, but it'll be tough. I'll take PFN 4-3, but anything can happen. Again, it could well come down to Jamie and Jason.
