Game of the Week
[*Fever vs. Balls to the Wall*] 2:45
This is a game where both teams have a lot to prove themselves and the rest of the league. Conference Foes and a rematch of that epic top 5 game of the season last spring.
Fever come in with an decent 2-0-1 record; And what makes it a decent record and not an impressive record is the quality of wins they have. Wins against teams with a combined record of 0-6 and an eye opening impressive tie against the high praised STL. Sooner or later everyone is going to ask, “what have you done for me lately?” They have the talent though to hang with the best of them. All-Pro’s Melanie Raubeson and Matt Lascelle along with all-star Steve Watson… they may have played the “bottom dwellers” so far but this team scare some people
Balls to the Wall come into this game after a devastating loss to the high powered veteran team of Ball Busters. High on their horse after a win over the #1 rank uniballs, they need another morale boaster. Captain Mike Pinto recruited some great rookies to sure up that outfield and for the most part has worked. They still have some of the most athletic girls in the league and when all else fails, this team can still drink you under the table… This game will show are they for real or just pretenders.
Let’s Get it ON!!!!!!!!


Game of the Week Predictions
This one should be very close. Fever climbs higher. ~ gmot
This should be a good game...but I have Fever taking home the victory. ~ gLot
Fever is a favorite of mine this season. They're gonna make those Balls sweat.; Fever. ~ Strawberry
Two of the more surprising teams in the league in the first month of the season, but it looks like Balls to the Wall were found out last week. I like the Fever to keep it going. ~ Handsome Tom
Balls to the Wall take this one in a very close matchup. ~Video Gio
Man, it couldn’t be two closer opponents than these two this week. I know how dangerous Fever can be but when you feel desperate like b2w does, results happen; Balls to the Wall ~ el Presidente


And the rest of the
GMOT Kickball Predictions

Balls Deep vs. Sweep the Leg

STL bounces back and goes deep. ~ gmot
Sweep the Leg sweeps back after last week; STL ~ gLot
BD may have finally played a good game on Sunday against Uniballs, but I don't know if they'll continue the trend—STL will win. ~ Strawberry
Balls Deep proved a lot of us here wrong at the blog with a surprising tie of Uniballs last week, and despite a wondeful amount of bar propoganda, they fall short to STL on their post loss hangover. ~ Handsome Tom
Balls Deep pulls the upset to put STL on a downward spiral to the league basement. ~Video Gio
This is another game circled on the Calendar by Kharim. Balls Deep may be growing as a team and getting better, but I see Mercy for this one. I have STL. ~ el Presidente

Hamden Mafia vs TeaBaggers
The 'Baggers go down. Again. But win big at flip cup. Again. ~ gmot
Black team for another easy win. ~ gLot
Love the grayscale matchup! The Mafia has this one. ~ Strawberry
There's no doubting the Baggers are a ton of fun and are just happy to be here, but the Mafia should have no trouble here. ~ Handsome Tom
The mafia puts out a hit on the Teabaggers and runs up the score in a blowout. ~Video Gio
Teabaggers may focus is to out drink you and teabag you at 1st base. Anything else is not in their vocab; Mafia win here ~ el Presidente

Kickelback vs. Blue Ballers
Another tough call; both evenly matched. Kickelback wins. ~ gmot
Well, SUPPOSEDLY Ballers are planning to show up this week...so I'll have them for the win. ~ gLot
This is going to be a very tough game for Kickelback, but we may have a chance here; KICK.EL.BACK! ~ Strawberry
Another interesting matchup, the Ballers looking to rebound from a tough loss and Kickelback looking to keep their strong start going, I'm going with my heart and saying Kickelback pulls off the upset. ~ Handsome Tom
Blue Ballers avenge their last loss and send Kickelback home. ~Video Gio
The improved Kickelback go up against an upset balers team. Had a Ballers not lost last week, I would pick kickel, but I have to go the other way; Blue Ballers here ~ el Presidente

Ball Busters vs. Saved by the Balls
Saved gets Busted, big time.; I have Ball Busters ~ gmot
Busters have this one. ~ gLot
Ball Busters have this one in the bag. ~ Strawberry
The Busters have seemed to shake off the rust from taking a season off and are starting to show why they are the two time defending champs, I see their roll continuing. ~ Handsome Tom
High scoring game, but only for the Ball Busters. Look for a lop-sided win. ~Video Gio
Umm, do I have to pick here? Hopefully Busters take it easy on them ~ el Presidente

Inglorious Ballstards vs. Balls of Fury
Sorry, Fury. Not this week either.; Ballstards ~ gmot
(sigh) Ballstards again....those damn ballstards ~ gLot
Inglorious Ballstards played a very good game on Sunday and will continue their streak ~ Strawberry
Poor Balls of Fury, easily having the hardest starting 4 games by a long shot. They are much better then their record, but its hard to see them stopping the rampaging Ballstards. ~ Handsome Tom
Ballstards continue to roll toward league dominance. ~Video Gio
Ballstards are not used to being favored, but they have worked hard for it. Hopefully they’re not still on cloud 9 from last week; I have the Ballstards. ~ el Presidente

UniBalls vs. Wrecking Balls
Wreckers keep it going. 4-0. ~ gmot
I'll give it to Wrecking Balls this time. ~ gLot
Wrecking Balls will also continue their all-win steak! ~ Strawberry
Yet another old school matchup, with the Wreckers exercising their ghosts of the past by finally beating the Uni’s last season. The game will be close, but the Wrecking Balls keep their impressive early season form going. ~ Handsome Tom
Wrecking Balls are too much for the Uniballs and win by 5. ~Video Gio
Tough one here, Uni’s should be playing better but they are not. They should be able to sneak one in on the wreckers due to the potential 1vs2 game next week but The Wrecking balls are too strong; Wreckers close. ~ el Presidente
