So I'm struttin down the street today, and this kid runs up to me. He asks me, "Are you the Thrashmaster?" I says, "Don't you know it, little man." He gets all excited and asks, "Will you give Week 5 predictions tonight?" I says, "Does your mom love the Badlands' D?" He smiles cause he know da answer be yes. He then asks for my autograph. After I sign his crash-helmet, he giggles, makes a fart noise with his mouth, and sprints away.
So here it be, you bunch of madcaps. Week 5 Predictions
Raiders at The Snails - Man, what is goin on with The Snails? These guys need to learn how to gameplan or somethin. They won't get an accurate gauge vs the Raiders. The Raiders will make the Snails look like world-eaters. My pick: The Snails
Tulsa at Bellevue - Speakin of The Snails, [knocking on Bellevue's head] "Hello, McFly! Hello!" What are you guys doin? Boost your dang players and get the show on the road. Tulsa's gettin a little fire in their belly recently and lookin to make two in a row. I'm tired of picking the Blitz only to have my expertise soiled. I won't give up on those dudes, though. My pick: Bellevue
Charlestown at Biloxi - Nice matchup right here. The Chiefs need a signature win to gain credibility in this Conference. Biloxi has lost two close games to excellent opponents, but they love to take out their aggressions on these tweeners like Charlestown. I think the Man-Whores will rebound big-time against the Chiefs. My pick: Biloxi
Sante Fe at San Diego - The Savages better pray for rain in their Southwestern locale, cause the Regulators are riding tall in the saddle right now. This won't be much of a contest, but Sante Fe deserves a break after a hard-fought victory over Biloxi. My pick: Sante Fe
Northwest at Seattle - My oh my, Seattle. You've got your work cut out for you. Go ahead and chalk up another one in the "L" column. My pick: NW
Orange at Northwood - This will be interesting. We know that the Manor are flyin high right now, but so far they've only beat an under-achieving Bellevue team and disappointing Snails team. New kid Northwood has been very quiet, but has some talent to work with. I keep sayin this...Gameplan for Orange and you'll beat them. I don't think Northwood knows how, though. Plus I want Orange to do well. My pick: Orange
Oakland at Los Angeles - Orange is undefeated, but Oakland gets my nod for most improved. The BlackReign took Sante Fe to the wire, and we all know Sante Fe can bring it and back it. L.A. should be doing better than they are. They have talent, just haven't learned how to use it yet. I think Oak runs away with this one. My pick: Oakland
Badlands at Gilead (Game of the Week) - Gilead had an off day vs Northwest. They HAD to! They're too good of a team to get blown out like that. Even if it was against powerhouse Northwest. It's important for ReRe and crew to rebound big with a win over Badlands. The problem is, the Abomination ain't no slouch. The Bad Guys are playin mean and have great chemistry. There's a reason why homeboy's mom loves the Badlands' D. It will be as challenging for Gilead to score on Badlands as it was to score against Northwest. The Gunslingers beat the Abomination last year, so this will be a payback opportunity. My pick: The Bad Guys
