NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 2nd-place When Push Comes To Shove will test their mettle against 8th-place The Good Sons (hcp 166). The Shovers are expected to see their averages fall off a cliff as they get swept; while the Sons are forecast to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 4th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 60) will throw some gutter balls with 1st-place Top Guns. The Hulk might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Top Guns ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 6th-place D-Day (hcp 32) will roll against 5th-place Spanked. D-Day will likely maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Spanked; while Spanked will probably drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 3rd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction will match wits with 7th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 92). Mass Destruction is predicted to perform well and win the series; while the Crabs are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
