MATCH OF THE SEASON!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well 2 weeks left and we have pretty much everything ironed out in the top 4 spots. DS surprised me with another win vs last place FR, they are right in the position they need to be in. Chele controls her own playoff destiny with winnable matches left in TC this week and EPC next. The last 2 spots are still easily up for grabs though, there is only a 2 point margin between 5th and 8th, what a interesting last 2 weeks we have ahead of us. The biggest match this season comes this week, 1st place PFN is playing X8B in alive on Tuesday. EVERYTHING is on the line, both teams are sitting on the standings without a loss, could that change this week? A review of last week will show just what I had predicted, a very one sided week that didn't have the marquee match-ups seen in previous weeks. Luckily, this week we have a lot of key matches with playoff implications on the line.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SS(#4) vs FR(#10)
Monday@6pm
-------------------------

FR continued an abysmal season with yet another loss last week at the hands of DS. I think Petey has long since given up on this season. SS on the other hand turned their ship around handing TC a clutch loss, keeping them firmly in 4th. SS will still be in 4th when this week ends, this match isn't quite as intriguing as the rest of the matches happening this week but don't expect Petey to just run off with his tail between his legs. FR still has a strong supporting cast that just hasn't put it together this season. SS has continued to get it done when they really need to.
Outcome:4-2 SS

DS(#5) vs TC(#6)
Tuesday@6pm
-----------------

This is the first of 3 great match-ups this week. DS has been doing great thus far and like I have stated up at the top, are controlling their own fate. DS needs at least a tie in this match to almost insure a playoff birth. TC on the other hand will need more than a tie here because they have they have to finish the season against X8B. Sean needs to bring his "A" team because this is a critical match. This game is going to separate the big boy from the chump. Who wants this match more? who is going to bring the guns at the right time? Pommy needs to show for TC amongst others to have a fighting chance. DS needs the likes of Ashton and Drew as well.
Outcome: 3-3 DRAW

X8B(#2) vs PFN(#1)
Tuesday@7pm
------------------------

WOW, what a match-up. I wonder how this is going to play out ladies and gents. PFN got hammered recently by X8B in MLP 6-1. The shellacking left PFN in a tough spot going into the 2nd half of that IL. BUT, this is WPC and it's a whole different ball game people. X8B needs this match to have a shot at locking up a first round bye and PFN wants this match to somehow right what went wrong in MLP. I am wondering one thing Kerry, is Miz showing up this week? I already know Andy cant make the show, that makes it very interesting... Sid, Brent, and Brian all can run tables for PFN but will luck fail them? James has the likes of Steve and Conor who handled PFN quite nicely last week and don't forget Ben, he broke Miz into pieces. The hype surrounding this match is high and I am positive that it is justified. Two undefeated heavy-weights step into the ring Tuesday and the scorecard is going to be close, so close it might even be a no-decision?
Outcome:3-3 DRAW

MIB(#9) vs MP(#3)
Wednesday@5pm
----------------------

This is one of the rare dull match-ups this week and easily over-shadowed by the previous game. Rich has pretty much given up on this season, it showed with only bringing 3 vs X8B when they really needed at least a tie to give them a outside shot at making the playoffs. Now that they are sitting in 9th 2 points out of 6th place they theoretically have a chance, but MP has too much depth. Shan, Chris, Jordy, Nish, Trey, etc. I don't know any sane man that wants to step up against those guys. They wont run you (besides Jordy) but they will use their careful playing-style to out-wit you into a loss. MIB good luck this week, MP you are itching to get your 2nd place back and you just might do it this week.
Outcome:6-0 MP

EPC(#8) vs SPS(#7)
Thursday@7pm
----------------------

This is the last match this week and it is also the last great match-up. Don't get me wrong, neither of these teams are great. Sure both of these teams have a decent shot at making the playoffs but can they go past round 1? no freaking way! Jack had me going mid-season but a recent string of disappointments have had me jump ship. If EPC could show with their big names every week they would actually be considered a playoff team, I don't know if Jack is just a bad captain or if his players just cant take EPC seriously but one thing is for sure, Jack is good at failing. I really think if Monte remembers he has a match-up this week he just might win. Jason and Heather want playoffs more than Jack appears to want it, I am sure this match will end up like I have predicted the other great match-ups this week. Jack, if you win this match you can put yourself back in a playoff spot, step up young man.
Outcome:3-3 DRAW

Keep it real WPC, playoffs and allstars are right around the corner, I will have MVP race up next week. As usual, may the yahoo glitches be in your favor WPC.
