Sportslook comes off a huge win over the Cereal Killers last week, and look to continue their domination against a formidable Goon Squad team, who lost to a very good No Limit team in week 3.

10PM: THE BROTHERHOOD (3-0) vs ONE TIME (0-3)
The Brotherhood fought off a pesky Run TMC team last week, and now face a One Time team that is without their most dynamic player.
