Well, I felt like making a new topic for my matchups since the other Kansas City topic is a little different context.
So here goes and feel free to list your own favorite matchups and predictions. It makes it more fun that way.
Ross Coleman on Shane- This is the matchup of the round as far as I'm concerned. As hot as Ross was riding the last time the PBR was on, he can't keep up with Shane. This bull is awesome!
Justin McBride on Black Powder- Well, as for Ross' best friend Justin, I'm picking the same way. This bull is awesome and nobody ever really talks about him. Every trip I have seen him buck, he has just gotten ranker. I'm saying the world's #1 will get the gooseegg in the 1st go round.
Adriano Moraes on Bad Boys Toys- Adriano has been riding pretty decent in CT events and other rodeos, and I think he will love this matchup. He should be anywhere from 87-90 and will probably be in the top 3 after the first go round.
Wiley Peterson on Wishfull Thinking- Ok, this bull has bucked off Wiley the last two times he has faced him. That won't happen again. I picked Wiley the last two times on this bull, and I'm not stopping this time around. The bull has only been ridden 2 out of 19 times, but we can go ahead and make that 3 out of 20.
Greg Potter on Gator- Gator seems to have lost a half step this year, but Greg Potter sure hasn't. I'm going with Potter on this matchup, and I think it will put him in the mid-to-high 80s range and in great shape going into Sunday.
Short-Go Bulls
High Tide
Camo
Slim Shady
Big Bucks
Just a Dream
Coffee Time
Wild Life
*I'm sure we will see Page and Teague as well, so we can add Mudslinger and others to the equation. But with Frontier and Paradise Farms, we already have a great lineup of bull power. I would also like to see Smokeless Wardance and Pandora's Box, but I'm not sure if we will or not.

No offense taken whatsoever, that's why opinions are opinions.
But there is no way Ross Coleman will ride Shane. That's like saying he could ride Blueberry Wine, and take a look back at The Finals last year and see how that went. Shane is just as electric as Blueberry.
As for the other 4, I think they could go either way honestly.

Hey Cody i think you left a couple out
Matt Bohon On Blue I feel blue is a great bull and should give bohon a hard time. My pick Blue.
Jody Newberry Grim Reaper. Grim reaper is a bull that i am unfamilar with and it always seems that the new bulls do something different but i have to go with jody and the way he has been riding lately.
Edgar Oliviera on Air Assault. Air Assault is a great little bull and is being bucked for i believe only the third time this year and has always scored big and guys have had nice scores my pick will be the bull this time.

Todd, I usually just do my top five. There were definitely some I left out like the ones you mentioned.

Rodeocowboy, how about that performance by Shane?  I told you there was no way Ross would ride Shane. And 45.5 may not have been enough points for that bull. He should be in the short-go every single event, and he showed why in the matchup with Ross. |

Yeah you got me Cody. I was just thinking that since Ross was coming off a victory he wouldnt get bucked off by any bull

And for Justin, I wasnt expecting black powder to be so trashy, he just lunged out there and didnt spin. And I though since Gator bucked off Greg before I thought he might do it again

Adriano thought the bull fouled on the way out when it hit the shoot thats why. If you watch him at the end of the ride he looks back and throws his arms cause he thought he had been fouled so that was the reason for him jumping off.

That was no excuse for Adriano IMO. I think he still put out a sorry effort. I'm not a big fan of his anyway, but last year he tried until his face hit the dirt. Usually he made it 8 seconds anyway. But this year, he has already admitted he was afraid of getting hurt. And that showed tonight in a bad way IMO.

d**n THE BULL POWER FOR ROUND 2 IS INCREDIBLE I HAVE PICKED OUT 10 SENSE FIVE WON'T DO.
1.Marchi vs RAge: March is a great rider but how can you think he will stay on rage after a 46 last night night he looks unstoppable my pick RAGE
2.Mike White on Grey Cat: The way Grey cat bucks it may be a problem for white coming off that injury i feel he will jerk mike on the first couple of jumps and try to make him loose his rope. If Mike can make throught he first 3 jumps he will ride him. MY PICK WHITE
3. Kody Lostroh on Tombstone: Tombstone is a big bull and i feel after last night Lostroh will be looking for revenge but it won't happen i feel that Tombstone will have his time with Kody. MY PICK TOMBSTONE
4.Ross Coleman on Dimaggio: Nice little round two matchup what a terrible weekend for coleman as far as draws go. Shane and now Dimaggio. Ross at his best no problem the bull at his best no chance lets just say i think that the bull wins this battle. MY PICK dIMMAGIO
5.DUSTY LABETH on Freithliner: Dusty has been real sticky lately. Impressive list here jw hart (2), lostroh, Mcintyre,Potter, craig and peach. You can go ahead and add Labeth to that list. MY PICK FREIGHTLINER.
6.Greg Potter on Slick Willy:This matchup should have been higher but i feel that the way greg is riding and the way this bull is bucking been ridden 2-3 last outs so i give the edge to POTTER.
7.Tater Porter on Bo Time: Tater coming of a big win at his own event and having rode last night i feel that he may stick it on bo time However when it comes to the championjship round he never seems to finish but i have to go with him in this matchup tonight. MY PICK PORTER.
8.Matt Bohon on HURT SO GOOD: does 0-22 say enough for this bull. Nope not for me i feel that Matt will Stick it on him tonight for a 90 and go into the championship round with a 182 heres the bad new he might get deuces wild in the short go ouch.
9.Justin Mcbride Vs White line Fever:This is a good bull ridden only 4 times but i feel mcbride will make it five and he might make the short go but it will be tough.
10. This is my it could get real Ugly ride of the night how about Cory Mcfadden on Dobber. Dobber destroyed cory last time out in 1.8 seconds and i dont think it will change tonight however he might last 2 seconds tonight.
There ya go any replies will be answered.

7 out of 10 not bad huh. I was really surprized by Marchi riding rage. Guess he soaked another one very apparent by the way the bull bucked not the same bull as last night.
