NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Ain't No Sh!t will tussle with 2nd-place Chico's Bail Bonds (hcp 89). Ain't No Sh!t is expected to drop their averages like a brick as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Chico's are forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Dios Mios will test their mettle against 4th-place Bowl Movement (hcp 56). Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowl Movement ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Spare The Rod, Split The Kitty (hcp 67) will throw some gutter balls with 6th-place Bad Newz Kennels. Spare The Rod will likely roll decently, yet still manage to get swept; while the Kennels will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Is This Billable? will battle 8th-place Livin' On A Spare (hcp 75). Is This Billable? might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Livin' On A Spare; while Livin' On A Spare ought to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 9th-place Dave and the Wingers will compete against 10th-place WWJB (hcp 13). The Wingers are predicted to perform well, but split the series with WWJB; while WWJB is anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
