- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Sweep The Leg, Johnny will battle 2nd-place No Pinheads (hcp 67). Sweep The Leg is expected to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while No Pinheads are forecast to drop their average a bit while endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Quick Release will hang out with 4th-place BILFs (hcp 76). Quick Release might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while BILFs ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Rollin' J's will chuck some balls with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 365). Rollin' J's will likely roll decently and sweep the series; while Ebowla will probably see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 6th-place WWJB (hcp 416) will spend some quality time with 7th-place BOWLSH!T. WWJB might perform weakly as they get swept; while BOWLSH!T ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
