NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Yo Mama (hcp 7) will match wits with 3rd-place Split Happens. Yo Mama is expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Split Happens are forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Bowl Movement will chill with 7th-place Tatonka (hcp 220). Bowl Movement might roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while Tatonka ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! will roll against 5th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo (hcp 26). The Belt will likely have a bit of an off night, yet still manage to win the series; while Yoohoo will probably drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 8th-place Guttersluts (hcp 188) will test their mettle against 4th-place Bora Bora. Guttersluts are predicted to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bora Bora is anticipated to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
