Alabama Slammers vs. Lil Bitches
Blonde Streaks vs. warlords
Lady Gaga Regatta vs. Sofa King Juiced
The Fighting Amish vs. Bad Wolf
Ignatius J. Rallies vs. Mizzoula Osprey

Four of the top five face off this week, Alabama taking on Lil in the Game of the Week. Early pace-setters Lil fell off with a couple of rough weeks where they failed to score more than one point, but rebounded to deliver the same result last week. Can they topple the Slammers, who remain undefeated, with a 5-5 tie in the opening week the only blot on an otherwise 100% record?
