(0-5) @ (1-4)Last time out, the Toros got the best of the Dragonfish with Martin of all people taking over. Both teams proceeded to lose the next 2 games. Expect the Dragonfish to upend the Toros this game. Jacoby is red hot right now and the Toros seem to be stuck in the same lull they have been in all season even after a victory.
Prediction: DF
All Time: DF- 16 TOR- 11
The week 2 matchup saw Charlie (PHA) live up to his legend. But it was a 3 set affair without the help of Kenneth (SB). Well, Charlie is still on fire, trying to become not only the best rookie in the league, but easily in the running for league MVP?!?! After the trouncing of the Diamonds last week, it is hard to go against the Phactory. The Silverbacks have not won a set since playing the Pharoahs, nobody has took the reigns on the team.
Prediction: PHA
All Time: PHA- 9 SB- 14
(2-3) @ (2-3)Last year this matchup was about who is the best of the best as #2 DD came into #1 INT and handed them their 1st set loss of the year, but still came up with the L. They let many many down by not meeting again in the playoffs. Now, we are to subject ourselves to a B list game about which team can spring board back into relevance after some shabby losses. The Interceptors have sooooo much talent, but haven't been magic like last year. The Dizzy Devils are also very talented, but Russell has disappeared and they need him. This should actually be a stellar game, but the 2-3 records will under sell it.
Prediction: INT
All Time: INT- 1 DD- 4
#4 (4-1) @ (3-2) #8
The streaking Scarlet Ember come into Chicago trying to nab a win just like their foe REP did last week. People are still puzzled by why they have had so much success, but they have been playing some quiet team ball and is making the wins look effortless. The Gremlins may be a little exhausted by now, a 6 division game swing is daunting. But they fought hard for a W v. INT, got blown away by REP, maybe they have it all sorted out. They need a big game by Casey and I think she will deliver.
Prediction: GRE
All Time: SE-11 GRE-11
(2-3) @ (3-2) #7
The North is terribly muddled right now. You want to believe in a young Margays team kind of like the NMW equivalent to the Phactory, but the talent is not there, they have the building blocks but not this year. The Empire have been playing their division tough, going 6-0 set wise, they know how to win division games. Aleksandr has fit in seamlessly so far and a win here coupled with a DD loss would shoot these guys easily in the forefront of a very down on its' luck division.
Prediction: EMP
All Time: MAR- 9 EMP- 16
#1 (5-0) @ (3-2) #6
2 weeks ago they met in the Flex in Atlanta. The game was the Cat's to take. Still afraid of the bright lights apparently, they faltered. The Cat's are still a very potent opponent and the Skylarks really have to be on top of things for a smooth victory. SKY could pretty much wrap up the division with a win here, but a loss would open everything up. Expect Jared to go big this game.
Prediction: CATS
All Time: SKY- 14 CATS- 12
#2 (4-1) @ (0-5)
Years back, this matchup netted the highest capacity crowd in DBL history at the old National Stadium in London. Capacities have changed and the teams have definitely changed. The Seadogs are still looking for a set victory folks. The Reapers are on a tear right now, after that huge Gremlins win, I don't think they will get tripped up here with this almost College level squad.
Prediction: REP
All Time: REP- 6 SEA- 3
Flex Game of the Week 6
The Flex game takes us back to Golden Gate Arena where we were in week 3 when the Skylarks ascended to #1. The Gold do not plan on letting any more teams ascend to #1. They shut this team down back in week 2 pretty swiftly, very surprisingly. The Diamonds do not have that pomp they once had coming out of the offseason #1, especially after 2 thrashings from division opponents. The Diamonds need to key on Desmond, he has the hot hand, for them to have a shot at taking this thing. Expect this game to be pretty epic.
Prediction: GOLD
All Time: DIA- 11 GOLD- 17
