If you think you may have picked 8 of 9 correctly against the spread, find me at Luckie's for free beer. Happy (fake) gambling!

JFK (-1.0) over
Burning Bridges
The Kennedys are one of two 4-0 teams remaining in the WAKA Peninsula, but they face a stiff test from a Bridges team which will undoubtedly be fired up after a 1-0 loss to the Foot Snipers. It took the combined efforts of the CIA, the mob, communists and a crazed gunman to knock out JFK, but that unsteady, motley alliance sounds just like the Bridges roster to me. The White Knights are due to finally score a win in one of these tight matches, but they’ll need to score some runs against the top ranked JFK defense in order to score the upset.

Chicken Tetrazzini
(-1.0) over Chubby Gangsters
The baby shower is back! Both teams are coming off of walk-off decisions in Week 4 where the Angry Birds lost 3-2 and the Gangbangers scored an 8-7 win over NKOTB. We have to assume this one will end in the same fashion, but for the sake of everyone’s physical health and the children’s ears, we’re picking Adam Henry’s birds to take it based on last week’s performance. Might I recommend taking Keith to IHOP prior to the game and then setting him loose…it will pretty much guarantee that he’ll disappear for two hours. I advise against the Grafton IHOP, their manager knows to “watch out for that kickball group”.

5 O’Clockers (-1.0) over Kick Ass
Last season these two teams finished 1-2 in the regular
season and their only head to head competition was a 1-0 5OC victory in the
final game of the regular season calendar.
The experts are predicting a similar outcome this week, despite the fact
that this game will feature new pitchers and chargers for both squads. Even though we are only in Week 5, there will
be playoff seeding implications arising out of this outcome.
Foot Snipers (-4.5) over Rumspringa
The Rumspringa launched a diabolical putsch this past weekend reminiscent of the Night of Long Knives. Their two pronged assault was to make a power play to incapacitate the Commissioner as well infect most of the league with a cold virus that their team has been building an immunity to over long, long nights of drinking. Troy simply tried to seduce me with his raw sexuality, but I don’t think that was part of any plan. Their efforts were all for naught however, since the Foot Snipers have been notorious for avoiding the WAKA party scene this season and avoided any ill effects. The Wesley Snipes get on a winning streak this week….someone grab something for Wellbrock to punt angrily.
Free Ballin’ (-4.5)
over New Kickheads on the Block
The Free Balls enter the week at 4-0, but face a difficult challenge in the first half of their doubleheader. The outcome of their early game could have a huge bearing on how this one turns out, but don’t disregard the Kickheads so quickly. After taking several brutal kicks to the head and nether regions during the past two seasons, NKOTB seem to be rounding the corner away from the WAKA bullies and sprinting the last block back home

The Situation (-6.5)
over Pitch Please
Maybe the Situation will be tired after a weekend away winning a kickball tournament in a distant land? What’s that? They do that EVERY week?!? Well….crap.

PBJT (-1.5) over Foul
Balls
The Fozzies have been going praizy asking the big Muppet in the sky for the return of their charger and offensive catalyst, Joe Preseault. Foul Territory has requested that Wade Brock cease sending pleas to the almighty due to their historically testy relationship. I had a day old peanut butter and jelly sandwich today for lunch and it was pretty dry.

Side bet of the night: Over/under on number of posts between
these two teams before tomorrow’s kickoff: 65.5
Kick Ass (-2.0) over
Free Ballin’
A fine rivalry in its own right has been stewing between these two teams over the past year of WAKA Peninsula kickball. After several setbacks, KA1L was able to dispatch Free Ballin’ in the spring playoffs. Both teams enter this season with slight roster adjustments, but the spirit of this battle will continue in prime time on Wednesday night.
