Week 3...Surprises Already?

With 2 weeks in the books it looks like there are a few surprises that weren't coming. DS has started out 0-2  and have fallen 2 games out of first place and face another opponent that could beat them if they aren't careful this week. HH is 1-1 beat DS last week (who woulda thunk it) PHP took FTW too the limit, but Brian saved the day. Mr. spc looks like there Mr. MVP :O. RDU just got manhandled with PDZ and PDZ only had 4..hmmm, RDU weaker than we expected? SS and 8BC also got destroyed by BnR and FR respectively, and look who showed up for FR, Nish, he got out of jail! Or playing in jail, one of the 2 :-s. And BnR padded there lineup by playing Craig and the mysterious Lewis, he comes and disappears. Now for Week 3 predictions.



FTW (2-0) vs BnR (2-0)

This match has to be the match of the week I don't care what anyone says. Both 2-0 in there conference, winner gets first place in there conference AND it is star studded PLUS BnR has a real chance of taking this from FTW. Who woulda thunk it? FTW barely scraped out a win from PHP last week....concerned? FTW last week may have proved they are vulnerable especially when Danielle has to play herself. They need there best players to show up this night if they look to have any shot what-so-ever, unless Mr. SPC shows up there MVP it looks like and just carries them to a 5-4 victory which would be....nice? BnR brought not only the usual suspects in Mina, Jordy and Gus to the table. But there newly acquired Craig and the likes of the comer and goer in Lewis himself. But can they keep Lewis around, and can Craig be counted on to show up every week with those 3? And with Paul and Ross thrown into the mix without Croz (if he really does leave) is still a lineup capable of taking this season and this match. This match if both teams bring there best, will go down to 9 games if they are all on there games. Gonna be a good and possibly long match.

5-4 BnR


FR (2-0) vs RDU (0-2)


Okay so FR is seemingly showing up with all of its old timers, just need Dan and Adam to come back and the FR of old is back...13-0 if they all show up? Nish played last week, after a long hiatus hmmmm where was he at?! They also have Niks who brings some bench experience along with Ebs who is no slouch player. They have all the tools to make a run to the finals but can they get over that hump that they so desperately want? If AB does infact somehow make a showing sometime this season and if Scotty comes back and plays for FR instead of just showing up and having to leave, this team could possibly be the best overall team in PRO this season. And of course with Petey captaining, they always have a chance. RDU on the other hand seems to be imploding and it isn't even halfway yet. Thomas gave captain up, there best player Tim already is boxed, and if Jessie can't get her players to start reporting, there whole team will eventually be boxed, bad bad news for RDU. They need to step there game up this week if they hope to not fall into a hole they can't climb out of. Starting 0-3 in a conference with BnR, FTW, and yes PDZ who seems to be getting better is nothing you want to do.I already think this is a must win match for them 3 weeks into the season. Good Luck to you RDU though I think FR will just over power you.

5-1 FR


PHP (1-1) vs PDZ (1-1)


Okay, another critical matchup, winner can be tied with second or be in second depending on win/loss percentage after this week. PHP needs Mikey and Matt to show up along with Candi if they want to take this. Because while PDZ may not have a star studded lineup they are consistent and they know how to run tables. PHP's captain is slowly gaining experience each week which is good and with the help of Candi, Matt and Mikey it may help him out alot, taking the stress off of him having to play them in certain spots. But going up against Joe who has been around the block and who is home this week might just be one of his toughest tasks. Because while FTW may have been home last week, Danielle doesn't have as much experience and I must say good job on keeping up with them. PDZ on the other hand beat RDU last week and got there much needed first win. One thing these 2 teams have in common, they both beat RDU! If Joe can show up with 5 instead of 4 this week and can actually win a game for his team they might have a shot. He will need to pull out his tap break though and hope that he doesn't play someone who will just bang it open and run it. But with the likes of Rob and Charles on there team and if Missy decides to stay and play on there team, they could due some good. But they need to keep it all together. It could be close then again one of these teams could have a meltdown, I'm going with the experience here and picking PDZ.


5-3 PDZ


DS (0-2) vs SS (1-1)


DS has been the surprise of the season I think. I hate to say it but Omar seems to not know the rules each week and may need to beg Rees to come back and captain DS, that's when they had there success also, find Ashton and Luis, they could help. With Rocky looking like he has to carry DS each week and going 3-1 each week losing the 9th game, both starting weeks, can they really count on that? They need to find another consistent piece, Pommy has only played once, and they need him to show up to help Rocky. Rumors are they have CK, where has he been? Where has all these recruits been? They need them all to show up or DS will crash back down to reality. Thing is I know all these people on there team can win, question is, are they up to it or do they really want to rely on Rocky, who seemingly can't get it done in the 9th game. SS has some strength now and if they show up with it can take out DS. With having PC and Kenny on there team now, along with the help of Cam and Mike, they look like they are really prepared to rise back from the ashes. If those 4 can show along with the help of Kris, Shelle, or Nigel this SS team can possibly take first if. But they have to get by DS first who might be turning into the RDU of the Pacific Conference. I think SS can pull this one out though.


5-3 SS



HH (1-1) vs 8BC (0-2)


Okay, so HH showed last week with there best roster to date with Josh, Frank, Brice, Steve and with a roleplayer in Dana. But it can get better if Dan ever decides he wants to play. Can that lineup be counted on to show every week though? We know Frank, Dana Steve and Brice can, what about Josh though? Steve seems to be there early front runner for the possible MVP and Brice hasn't won a game the person who was expected to help carry this team. So far it's been on the backs of Frank and Steve. That could all change this week as they go up against an 8BC team who isn't the best of teams. HH beat DS last week in a 5-4 win which no one would have thought they could have done. 8BC lost to FR 5-0 and one of those matches was a DQ on the corn please dude. Tsk tsk tsk. Both of these teams have played FR and HH lost 5-1 and 8BC lost 5-0 hmmmm. But this match has the potential of being close or being a blow out just depends on which teams want to play better. HH has been gaining alot more experience lately and while 8BC has experience I'm not sure they have the players to tackle the trio of Frank, Steve and Brice and if Josh shows it could be that more harder. I have to go with HH here just because they look to have the more solid and consistent lineup.


5-2 HH
