downtown chuckers vs Evil Empire
8-5 win for chico. Although I have him last in the power rankings he looks like a favorite in this matchup with Nene and Al Harrington out for his opponent. Bynum missing both games this week would be a disaster and could swing the rebounding categories in BRJP's favor, but chico definitely has the big man advantage going into this week.
LeCavern vs Kings Reign Supreme
11-3 victory for The Cavern. Dirk puts a massive drain on IYF's early season plans. He's going to most certainly fall behind the pack early on. A guy to keep an eye on for IYF's team this year is Zach Randolph, if he plays like he did last year then IYF may be in for some trouble, but if it's the Z-Bo of 2 years ago his team will be down right scary once Dirk returns.
Las Durantulas vs JOB SQUAD
11-3 victory for Ben, but it's close. I think if Brandon streams and Ben does absolutely nothing all week (could see this happening) Brandon could actually get this down to closer to a 8-6 or a 7-7. The best bet for stopping Brandon's team this year is hitting him early before Love comes back. TIEBREAKERS ARE CRITICAL AT THE END OF THE YEAR, DONT LOSE EASY MATCHUPS.
PSYCH vs HauntedBlouse
10-4 victory for PSYCH. This will be an absolute blowout, but KIF is guaranteed at least a win in FT% and turnovers. PSYCH got some decent depth with the Durant trade, and he should be feeling pretty good about himself after this week is said and done.
NMS vs Serial Thrillaz
7-7 tie. Matchup too close to call. 2 bad teams duking it out for bragging rights. I think P1 has the advantage in the guard cats and NMS has the big cats locked down.
betta than NOTORIOUS vs Team ROOOONNNNDDDDOO
11-3 win for Showtime. It begins.
