PRO Week 7...Rivalry Week!!!!!

So last week we saw an upset in PHP beating FR, surprising. Ant has withdrawn from PRO, demise of FTW? SP has shown that they don't need big dogs to take out teams as Kerry clinched last week and Brice beat Jordy. Then DS of course beat the newly introduced 8BC who replaced NE, finally someone has. Now onto this week.


SP (4-2) vs PHP (3-3)

Match of 2 leagues that hate eachother, this is gonna be pretty. But cooler heads could prevail in this one as Brice captains SP and Sean captains PHP, and these 2 have nothing against eachother. It's the teams that may have problems, but will they late there playing do the talking? With not the best lineup SP was able to take down BnR last week with Kerry going 2-0 and clinching, go Kerry! SP will probably bring there best available lineup tonight though and with the additions of Mike and Cam, they are deeper now than they have been all season which could be dangerous for other teams. PHP doesn't have a super star studded lineup but they have one capable of winning with adding Rizzo and having Rocky, Trio, Irfan, Tim and Sergio at the helm with role players in Sergio and Niks, it could be a good matchup. This one could go 9 if both bring there best rosters. I still see SP keeping there winning streak alive and taking this one, lets just hope theres no drama.

5-2 SP


FR (2-4) vs BnR (2-4)

Wow, just wow. Both of these teams at 2-4 either shows the competition this season or shows the demise of 2 former powerhouses, I can't decide which one. with FR having more losses than there previous couple seasons combined it looks bleek for them and people could be ready to say the old quote "stick a fork in em cause he's done" But, it's FR and this is PRO. Anything can happen as was proven last week. FR needs there best lineups from here on out if they hope to get back into the playoff picture. Will they get back on track or will BnR keep it close to PHP? FR needs this win badly to get there hopes back up. If they can bring the likes of Trav, Petey, Ben, Nish and a solid role player in Dan or DJ they have a chance at this one. BnR haven't had the luck they have been able to in previous seasons, why you ask? Because Jordy hasn't had his MVP season he's used to having. With Jordy having BnRs best record at 6-4 and him being the only one over .500 that's played more than 2 matches really proves that BnR has gotten no support. Sure they added Gus, but he hasn't done much to help them out. Paul, Mike, Ross and Croz all need to step it up or it will be boom, lights out. This one I don't see any drama in but you never know. I look for FR to win this one in 9.

5-4 FR


DS (5-1) vs FTW (4-2)

This one was supposed to be a battle with 2 Luis' vs Ant and Dante. But Now that Ant has withdrawn and Dante is on the verge of quitting pool, has it really gotten any decent matchups now? Sure if Si shows he could carry FTW, but it would be tough. FTW will really need Si, Stephen, Daz, Dante and Joey to all show and be on point if they want a shot at this one. Because DS won't be coming with a easy lineup. If DS comes through with Ashton, Luis, Neo, Rees and Omar this could be the lineup that beats FTW. Luis can carry DS by himself but with the added reinforcements from the undefeated Ashton, and another solid player in Neo FTW really doesn't stand a chance in this one if they can't beat those 3. Yes I said it, but FTW is on a downslide and not much anyone can do about it. I personally don't think much carrying will be needed in this one if DS's best lineup comes. Sorry FTW.

5-2 DS



SS (3-3) vs 8BC (1-5) (Note 8BC is really 0-1 :P)

Okay so this matchup isn't gonna have they hype we hoped it would as it won't be SS vs NE aka Pita vs Jon. SS should win this match handily though unless 8BC has done some heavy recruiting which I don't think they have. If SS shows up with JJ, Pita, Jay, and a few role players they can take this one 5-0 if they all play great. 8BC has a noteworthy player lvlr_pool_champion, seen the ID around don't know his name, seen him play a couple times and he is a pretty decent player. Can her carry vs SS? No. But with Frank going back to 8BC and with him join this pool champion dude they could pick up a couple wins. But it all relies on the captaining of 8BC and if they have a good, solid experienced captain. SS we know does. I really don't see 8BC putting up much of a fight in this match. If JJ, Pita and Jay play in the first 3 you can say match over right then. So, goodluck to 8BC.

5-1 SS

PRO Week 6

Eh sorry I missed last weeeks preds, however we did find out last week, we will not have a undefeated team this season. FTW lost to FR, NE no showed, SS looks like there starting there fall and once again Jordy proved he can't always carry BnR. Now for this weeks Preds


SS (2-3) vs FTW (4-1)

SS after there good start has fallen down to the last place in there division and it doesn't get any easier this week. If Pita can somehow get himself, JJ, and Jay all playing on an elite level maybe they stand a chance. But how likely is that? Yea, JJ beat Ant in a set, but that's a set, this is one game...the better player usually prevails. SS needs to get back on track and get a fire lit under there butts or they will fall out of contention fast. Because if DS, SP and FR all win this week, SS will be behind and will be struggling to get back in contention. FTW on the other hand last there first game last week versus a hot FR team and this week they play a cold SS team. This is there perfect chance to get back into the winning column. Because if they lose and PHP wins, all of a sudden it becomes a tighter division. However, I think FTW will bring there best and JJ, Pita and Jay won't be enough. FTW wins this one in dominating fashion.

5-1 FTW


SP(3-2) vs BnR (2-3)

SP last week got a free 5-0 via a no show on NE's part....go figure right? SP will need a good roster this week, because even though there record may show different, BnR has a strong team and Jordy can carry on any giving night if he can get rolling. But he definitely needs support from Croz and Ross and he hasn't been consistently getting it. SP if they bring Brent, Matt, Lewis, Roy and Dan could win this one early and not have problems. And with the possible return of Carlos soon it could prove that SP get's a fire lit under there ass and can take there division. BnR however needs Jordy rolling to really have a chance, because Ross and Croz won't be enough to take down a talented SP team. This one could be close but SP should win out in this one because they just seem to have more talent.

5-3 SP


DS (4-1) vs NE (1-4)

This one really isn't hard to predict to be honest. Because with Ashton, Luis, Neo, Rees and Aaron, DS has the edge over NE. However, will NE even show? If NE shows they need there absolute best roster because DS is loaded and if they only need a few more wins to lock themselves up as the best in this conference. But will DS have a late season collapse as they are known for? I don't see that happening. NE only shows if Jon shows, so if Jon doesn't show or trys to change the match an hour before it starts, then DS will win this 5-0. DS will win this big no matter what I think though.

DS 5-2 (unless a no show happens again)


FR (2-3) vs PHP (2-3)

This is FR's chance to get into second place, because if SP loses and FR wins boom, FR goes from early season woes to 2nd place like that. But PHP is not to be underestimated. With Trio, Rocky, Niks, and Sean leading PHP they could be a good team. But FR has more firepower with the likes of Travis, AB, CB and Petey. FR seems to be on a hot streak as of late in all inters and if they look to keep that going they definitely  need to take out PHP here. So far PHP has had some decent success it want is turning out to be a weak division besides FTW. FR however I think wins this one because if Travis plays like his normal self, and if Petey, CB, Ben and AB can all play good no way PHP keeps up with FR even if Trio and Rocky can play elite like.

FR 5-2

PRO Season 14 Week 4

PRO Season 14 WEEK 4


While last week was full of excitement in the FR v SP Match (as normal) other than that there wasn't much excitement except for the drama of FTW taking a cowardly win, who woulda thunk it? With Lewis carrying SP to a 5-4 win over FR last week, and SS losing to DS 5-2 (Pita needs to step up) and with PHP keeping it shockingly close against BnR this week may shape up to be good.

FTW (3-0) vs SP (2-1) (Match of the Week)

Okay so FTW took a cheap win last week, maybe on a misunderstanding but couldn't they have worked it out? Dante will need to bring his big guns cause if they look to beat SP they will need a better performance than they had against them in 4orce. Do we really need to go over that result? FTW knows that SP is serious now and will need to step up there game. FTW no doubt will be a serious contender for the PRO Title this season but they can't rely on Ant. Daz and Dante need to get more consistent. With Dan switching to SP, along with SP adding Omar has SP gotten even more serious? Lewis basically beat FR by himself with the only other person winning one game was Matt. Some people would call him "lucky" but if you look at it the only really "lucky" shot he had was that shot against Conor, other than that he just capitalized on FR's mistakes. SP looks to show FTW that they are still the reigning champions and aren't going anywhere. To be the best you gotta beat the best and that's what FTW will try to do.

5-3 SP


BnR (1-2) vs SS (2-1)

BnR is coming off there first win of the season and SS is coming off there first loss of the season. BnR will try to keep the momentum going but will need more than Jordy and I think they got more than him. If Ross can catch fire along with Croz BnR could really start to become a threat. However they need to beat SS and prove that they can compete with the top teams. BnR beat PHP last week but they haven't beat any of the so called "top-tier" teams. SS is first in the Atlantic Conference so if they can beat them they could gain some confidence. SS on the other hand got there first loss of the season last week against DS, and if they don't recover it could be a tough road ahead. For Pita and company. JJ seems to be the best player on SS as it stands but they will need someone besides him to really step up and if Pita and Jay can do that they they could be a solid threat. However, I think BnRs momentum wins out here.

5-4 BnR



PHP (1-2) vs DS (2-1)


PHP is in 2nd in the Pacific Conference and why they don't have the best team they could do some decent damage but against this DS team it's gonna be hard. With the loss of Dan PHP will need Trio, and Tim to step up there game. PHP is doing better than people projected them as they're in second but can they continue that? Is this a Cinderella team like VCU was 2 years ago in the NCAA Tournament? I'm not so sure that they are but it's PRO anything can happen. DS has proven that with the right pieces they can contend for a title. However with Luis not playing up to his old self they have relied on Ashton to carry the load and with the recent acquirement of Aaron that could help them. Aaron, Luis and Ashton will need to play well if they want to get first in there conference they're up there now but with SS and SP both at 2-1 this conference is gonna shape up to be good with a good team getting left out. DS is a strong team and should show that again this week with a win.

5-2 DS


NE (1-2) vs FR (0-3)

Okay so NE is 1-2 and could be 2-1 if it wasn't for a mishap in the time and got a win taken from them when FTW took a cheap win. NE can beat FR if they show but they will need Jon to be on point along with Cam, JT and Mike. With those 5 they can take FR who seems to be having a little trouble this season with getting a consistent game going and just getting unlucky with some things. However if FR can come with Petey, AB, Trav, Ben and CB then they should have no real problem with NE unless they get extremely unlucky again which seems to be happening. There season has to be one of the unluckiest seasons in all of Interleagues but I think they will get it turned around and they will have a solid season.


5-3 FR
