Now it gets interesting

Playoffs are fun.
It's that simple.

Every game is a win or go home (although the loser will probably be back the next week to watch).
With that kind of format anything is possible, mainly upsets.

Looking at King of Kickball, the top four teams have really separated themselves as the favorite.
But if you look at the regular season results you know that an upset is not out of the question.

Everyone remember the New Kicks on the Block's 1-0 upset over Kixx in Week 2? Guess what the first round match-up is?

Los Totally Awesome once held leads over Kickin' N' Screamin' and their first round opponent Smoking Aces before losing earlier this season.

It's already been documents how Scoregasms have given I'd Hit it a hard time, including a tie just last week.

And yes, Suck My Kick was held hitless by KNS, but then again KNS only scored two runs that inning.

At the same time, the top four are the championship contenders for a reason.

KNS is KNS. They have won it many times before and they know what it takes. Word is Rick wants a second shot at the Smoking Aces, who handed KNS their only loss of the season.

I'd Hit It is always so close to the title. Maybe this is the year Lucas gets to taste gold. The defense has been stout all season allowing only six runs, with five shutouts.

Smoking Aces was put together to win. They may finally be clicking and that could be dangerous for everyone else.

However, momentum is everything and the Kixx have it. On the last night of the season the Kixx played a triple header and came out 3-0. OK, its not as tough as it sounded because one came was the last few innings of a makeup game they were leading anyways and the other two teams were against Suck My Kick, so the fatigue level was almost even.

But still, look at the NFL playoffs. The Super Bowl champion is always the team that has the momentum. So as you look at the top four, you need to figure out for yourself who has the most going for them right now?
