Early Games
#9 Sweet Rolls (4-1) -3 vs #20 ICBING (4-2): The Sweet Rolls got a surprise scare last week, but Hot Tamale destroyed Hard Body 165-74 in a bowloff to secure the win. ICBING looked terrible through two weeks but has now rolled to four straight wins setting up an exciting matchup.
Tequila Mockingbird (2-3) -3 vs Guacabowle (2-3): These two teams have the same record but different expectations. The T-Birds have a rich history, and need to pull this off to start getting back to where they would like to be. Guacabowle is enjoying their opening season and is pretty happy to have a couple wins already. A win here would just be icing on the cake.
#13 TDYOB (5-1) -9 vs Balls of Fury (1-4): Fury reached a bowloff with Sweet Rolls last week but couldn’t close the deal. It won’t get any easier against a TDYOB team hungry to pick up more wins and stay in the race for top seed.
#18 Happy Hands (4-1) -1 vs Roll Another (2-3): The Hands have managed to stay in the rankings, while Roll Another has struggled a bit to a 2-3 start. This looks like an interesting match though, could definitely see it going either way.
LATE GAMES
Lesbowlians (1-4) -1 vs Snakes On A Lane (2-4): Maybe a bit of an upset pick. The Lesbowlians have looked very strong in the two weeks before their bye, and Tilt-A-Whirl is as hot as any Thursday bowler right now. Snakes keep finding ways to lose.
Pud’s Taxi (1-5) -1 vs Madbotts (0-6): The Madbotts have been agonizingly close to getting a win, having a 6-4 lead the last two weeks. This may be their last, best chance. Pud’s looks to pick up their second win of the season.
#3 Yay! (6-0) -5 vs #11 B.U.I. (5-1): Yay! handled their matchup against G.O.B. last week, and gets another decent test this week in a surging B.U.I. team. B.U.I. doesn’t have the big guns to grab top points, but they do have great depth if Yay! isn’t consistent.
5 O’Clocks (1-4) -3 vs Goldilocks (1-4): The 5 O’s won their opener then lost 4 straight. Goldilocks lost four straight to open then won last week. Now they see who gets a second win. The 5 O’s have been closer, so I’m going with them to get back on track.
#8 Guns of Brighton (5-1) -9 vs Lovernauts (1-4): GOB looks to rebound after losing their showdown last week. Lovernauts fell back to earth last week, but showed in the TDYOB game they have the ability to pull off big upsets.
