After wrapping up week 5 we head into the final stretch of the season. 10 teams are fighting for just 6 spots and the heat is on. The Eastern Division is neck and neck currently while the Western Division is pretty much set unless DS decides to step up. Key matches to watch for this week are MC/BNR and PFN/SPS. The rest of the matches are sure to have some intense games but this week seems to be somewhat dull.
-TOP DOGS BUMP HEADS-
MC (5-0) vs BNR (3-2), Monday@7pm, Room: Rack 'em
Ben and James seem to be doing a great job. Ant of course makes them look like superb captains but even so there is more to MC than just the reigning co-MVP. Zach has come out of no where with an impressive 5-0 record, look to see Ant, Zach, and Conor to over-power a strong BNR team that just hasn't had the best of luck this season.
Dina has taken a lot of heat for last weeks match. She doesn't care how she gets a win as long as it's a win. She supports her teammates wholeheartedly and will do anything to get a win when she feels it is deserved. Players like Joe and Jordy need to be on their A-game this week. I just don't think BNR has a strong enough to to match the stars that MC has.
Outcome: 4-2 MC
-WHA WHA WHAT?-
PDZ (0-5) vs SS (3-2), Tuesday@6pm, Room: Sad
PDZ has pretty much written off this season. They would need to win out to even contemplate making the playoffs. I didn't think they would be in the hunt this season but I did think they would scrounge up at least 1 win. That being said I think everyone knows DJ has underachieved as a captain thus far. DJ, Drew, and the rest of the no-names need to get this ship turned around. It sure wont happen against a strong SS team, don't expect miracles here.
SS is reeling from a tough loss to BNR last week. There was a lot of controversy in their last game and that loss stung quite deep. I think SS licks their wounds here and they come out with a bang! Shelle will put a strong enough team together to prevail here.
Outcome: 5-1 SS-THE WASH-
SP (0-5) vs FR (3-2), Tuesday@6:30pm, Room: Adv Lng 3
SP is another team like PDZ except losing is becoming the norm for them. SP is on a -15 streak, yes I said it correctly, this is SP's ultimate low. This team shows with a solid crew they just cant string 4 wins together. Old school players like Pete need to step up and carry this team. I doubt it will happen this week though, the losing streak will stay intact week 6.
FR shouldn't have a problem this week vs 1 of the worst teams in the league. FR took on the only undefeated team last week and obviously didn't succeed. Ant just cant be stopped, Petey turns this losing streak around this week and nudges his team in position for a future playoff run.
Outcome: 5-1 FR
-CROSS-CLASH-
PFN (3-2) vs SPS (3-2), Tuesday@7pm, Room: Bad Times
Kerry is doing a well enough job this season. Her team has big names this season but it seems like no one can turn it on at the same time. Trey moved over from MC last week so maybe he can rub some of their good luck off on PFN. EPC > SPS, I think Kerry is aware her team has a easier challenge this week. SPS can be deceiving though, they steal a game or two and this match could go to game 7. Kerry needs Jamie, Mina, and Kalpz to play their best here and the match should end quickly.
Heather has done a great job this season. Her team is in the hunt and could temporarily hold a playoff spot if they win tonight. MC defeated BNR which would give the edge to SPS if they win. The eclipses for SPS need to pull off wins like they did last week. I think SPS can do it if they match up properly, Kerry likes to play her strong early which leaves a huge crack in their armor late in the game.
Outcome: 4-2 PFN
-ARE THEY GAME?-
DS (1-4) vs EPC (4-1), Wednesday@7pm, Room: AFIC
DS won their first game last week which injects some excitement into this crew. They did lose a player last week to a non-report, that might put some pressure on Chele. I think if Chele can bring Ash or Corey to this match it could possibly go to 7 games. I think EPC is a very solid team that has proven they are a threat but their big two rarely show and Chele seems to be having trouble finding someone else on the squad to step up and take control. Is DS up for this match? are they game enough? Home field might help DS here but I don't think they have enough power.
Jack you are cruising to the playoffs at this rate. I don't think you are scared of this match-up at all. Players like Cam, Jester, Uriel, and Jack pose a huge threat to DS. Jack picked up 2 wins against MC in PRO which turned some heads and made me think twice about playing him. If I was DS I would be conceding now, just kidding! EPC needs to keep the pressure on DS and before game 5 is done this match could be over.
Outcome: 5-1 EPC
