NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! (hcp 740) will tussle with 2nd-place Bowl Movement. The Belt is expected to have the bottom drop out of their averages as they get swept; while Bowl Movement is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 3rd-place Bora Bora will battle 4th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Bora Bora might drop their averages like a brick, but split the series with Yoohoo; while Yoohoo ought to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 5th-place Split Happens (hcp 447) will chill with 6th-place Guttersluts. Split Happens will likely tank their averages considerably as they get swept; while Guttersluts will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 7th-place Yo Mama will spend some quality time with 8th-place Tatonka. Yo Mama is predicted to watch their averages take a plunge, but split the series with Tatonka; while Tatonka is anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
