So last week we saw SP blow a lead, FR went through some DQ drama while FTW continued there winning streak and beat PHP 5-2, and the mighty Sterlo carried. But now, for this weeks preds.
PHP (1-1) vs BnR (0-2)
Don't let the record and the place in the standings fool you. PHP is not the 2nd best team in this conference that belongs to New Era or BnR, whichever one decides to show up and focus more. PHP really needs Sean to play like every week along with Dan and Irfan. While they do have Sergio and Niks as some role players and back up, those aforementioned 5 might be able to beat some lineups but against the top dogs in there division, FTW and if BnR brings there best tonight, I don't see PHP standing much of a chance, but they will need more than Jordy to win. But, then again, Jordy hasn't been on form in PRO lately, he will need to regain that unbeatable status that he's seemed to have the past couple seasons if he looks to help literally carry BnR to the playoffs. BnR will need Ross and Croz to show up on form as well. I do think that BnR comes out of this one victorious, but it may be closer than they will want it to be.
BnR 5-4
SP (1-1) vs FR (0-2) (Co-Match of the Week)
Wherever SP goes it seems Sean has went past 2 weeks in PRO, love affair? On another, note rematch of the finals, SP last week had a lead and blew it. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Proves that anything can happen in PRO. This week they can't do that as they are facing a tough challenge in FR. If SP can bring Lewis, Brent and Matt and keep em at the table and on point, then they should be able to match up fairly evenly with FR. FR will need Petey, CB, and AB or Trav or both to show and play well. This one could go the distance for sure. These teams are basically the same from last season except for FR added Scotty and another few key acquisitions, but SP added Lewis, Brent and Matt. FR will need to put its misfortion behind them and win this one, they need to avoid a 0-3 start which would be bad in a division like this one. While this one is hard to call, it surely will go the distance.
5-4 SP
DS (1-1) vs SS (2-0)
DS needs Luis and Ashton to show against a SS team that could have Pita back this week. If Joe can get some of the magic he had against Nish maybe he can help this team out as well. DS seemed to be the favorites for this division coming into this season with Luis back on there team but he hasn't done much going 2-2 so far. Ashton is looking like there best player at the moment at 4-0 and will need to help carry this team. SS has done good so far without having Pita, but if Pita comes back watch out, this team could be dangerous. SS so far has relied on JJ and Jay to do most of there winning and that could go on for a little bit longer but they will really need Pita. If Luis and Ashton are both on form it could be tough for SS. DS I think pulls this one out on the backs of there stars, Luis and Ashton. This one should be close though.
5-4 DS
NE (1-1) vs FTW (2-0) (Co-Match of the week)
If Cam, JT, Jon, and Mike all show and play and if they can get more than Sterlo to be there for a possible 5th then this could go the way of NE, however. With Matt added to the FTW roster that already has Ant, Dante, Stephen and Daz it could be far worse than they want. NE will need to really play there best pool and play strategic as all of FTW's starting 5 are good runners. NE has good runners as well though so if they can all get on there game and knock Ant, and Dante out early then it could go NE's way. NE will need Jon, Cam and Mike to all win there first round games so they have the advantage going into the 6th game (if it gets that far.) FTW needs Ant and Dante to win there first games though as those 2 together could carry against a team. They need to focus on this to keep there undefeated season in-tact. While I wanna lean towards the upset, I just can't see NE beating FTW if they bring there top 5.
5-3 FTW

PRO Season 14 Week 2
Week 2
Yes I know I missed last weeks preds so what! We got SP continuing there hot streak with there 5-3 win over DS last week. Are they missing Scotty that much? SS is off to a good start with a 5-2 win over FR, there goes a perfect season :(. In the other conference PHP got there first ever interleague win via a no-show of NE (what a surprise). And FTW 5-0'ed BnR, Jordy can't always win and that proves it. Now for this weeks matches. And it looks like in both divisions we have a battle for first place already.
SS (1-0) vs SP (1-0)
Already a battle for first place in both conferences, Atlantic is up first. SS somehow won on the backs of JJ, Jay and Jarred last week, this week unless those 3 can pull it out again they'll need more firepower. If they don't bring some heavy hitters in tonight they could be in trouble because last week SP showed there team is deep and if they can show up with even a glimpse of the team that showed last week they could take this team. SP if they show up with Lewis, Roy and a couple others could take this one in 5. However while I don't see them taking it in 5 I do see them winning this one and it not going the full 9 or even 8 games. Max I see it is going 7 games unless JJ and Jay can pull out some magic and carry SS to a victory.
5-2 SP
FR (0-1) vs DS (0-1)
FR needs to pick it back up, they reached finals last season, and if they look to do the same this season they need to avoid a 0-2 start which will be difficult against a team with Luis, Jose and Zero on it. However, if FR can rally the troops and get Scotty, Trav, Nish and Petey to all show with support from Ebs, Dan or Ben they can take this one. FR will really need to focus though and take out Luis and Jose or Zero out to have a chance. Coming off a loss DS will be looking to step up and take out FR. DS will be able to take this one if they can keep there heavy hitters in long enough to carry, Luis can't do it all himself though many seem to think he can. If Luis, Jose and Zero all win there first round games look for DS to win this one in 7 or 8.
5-4 FR
BnR (0-1) vs NE (0-1)
BnR needs to get this Break n Run train going if they look to make a run for the playoffs. While they do look like the 2nd best team in this conference behind FTW, by the score, they looked like they had no clue what they were doing last week vs FTW. BnR can't rely on Jordy alone which means Croz, Paul and Ross all need to step up and play or BnR will be getting ran over again tonight by NE (if they show.) If Dina can play her cards right BnR can take out this NE team but she needs to make sure she plays Jordy and Croz in the right spots to where they get the most breaks possible. If NE cares to show up tonight they will need to bring there big boys because while FTW did run over BnR last week, BnR are far from slouches. A no show for NE in the first week isn't a good sign so we shall see what they can muster here in the second week.
5-1 BnR
FTW (1-0) vs PHP (1-0)
FTW got a 5-0 win over BnR last week in good fashion. Looks like the 5-0 train could continue here if they play there cards right. FTW on the back of Ant, Jeremy and Daz look to be a force and when you add Dante into the mix this could be a team you don't want to face come playoff time. However, FTW by the looks of it could have it easy this week going up against a PHP team with limited experience. Dan, Rocky, Irfan and Sean will all need to show up for PHP and play lights out pool if they even hope to sniff a win here tonight. While I think they could pick up a few game wins, winning the match seems highly unlikely. However this is yahoo pool and this is PRO, and anything can happen. Or as the new saying goes. Even Dante Can Do It.
5-1 FTW
