Week 5 Arena Football League Power Poll – April 27th 2010

April 27th, 2010

The AFL betting season enters its fifth week of play this week with a full slate of games. Check out how we’re ranking the clubs through the first two weeks of the season!

1: Chicago Rush (4-0 SU, 2-1-1 ATS) (LW: 1) – The Rush have really been on a roll, continuing to pummel each of their opponents. The Blaze never stood a chance against them this week in the Windy City, as Chicago notched its third double digit victory of the year. No one wants to get in this team’s way right now.
Up Next: Bye

2: Milwaukee Iron (3-0 SU, 3-0 ATS) (LW: 3) - Milwaukee trailed Tampa Bay by 10 points in the third quarter, but it turned the jets on for three straight touchdowns to put the Storm in the dust. The Iron may have the scariest offense in the league, averaging 70.3 points per game.
Up Next: Away @ Alabama

3: Tulsa Talons (2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS) (LW: 2) – We’re not going to punish Tulsa much for losing in the dying seconds to the Rattlers on the road. The Talons have by far played the hardest schedule in the league to date, and they’ve got another tough roadie in the Sunshine State this week.
Up Next: Away @ Jacksonville

4: Spokane Shock (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 4) - The Shock hold firm at #4 in the AFL power poll this week after enjoying their first of two bye weeks. Spokane’s next four foes have combined to win just two games this year.
Up Next: Home vs. Cleveland

5: Bossier City Battle Wings (2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS) (LW: 5) - Bossier City is another one of these teams that has a cupcake schedule in the coming weeks that should improve its playoff positioning. Not only is winless Utah on deck, but Oklahoma City waits after that. These are both road games though, and the Battle Wings have yet to prove that they can win away from Shreveport this year.
Up Next: Away @ Utah

6: Arizona Rattlers (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 9) - The Rattlers needed every last second on the clock, but QB Nick Davila threw the game winning touchdown pass as time expired on Friday night against Tulsa. The Talons stuck in front of the narrow spread, but no one in Arizona is going to mind. The Rattlers have two more very tough games coming up, starting with a trip to the St. Pete Times Forum this weekend.
Up Next: Away @ Tampa Bay

And the rest…
 7: Alabama Vipers (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) (LW: 6)
8: Jacksonville Sharks (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) (LW: 8 )
9: Tampa Bay Storm (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 7)
10: Iowa Barnstormers (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 12)
11: Dallas Vigilantes (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) (LW: 10)
12: Cleveland Gladiators (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 13)
13: Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 11)
14: Orlando Predators (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) (LW: 13)
15: Utah Blaze (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 15)

Week 4 Arena Football League Power Poll – April 21st 2010

The AFL betting season enters its fourth week of play this week with just a small four pack of games. Check out how we’re ranking the clubs through the first two weeks of the season! Visit Handicapperspicks.com for more expert arena football news

1: Chicago Rush (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) (LW: 1) - Arena Football betting fanatics bet the Rush from +1 up as high as -6 this week, and the end reward came in the form of a two touchdown victory in Arizona. This should easily be a 4-0 team by the time next week’s games are over.
Up Next: Home vs. Utah

2: Tulsa Talons (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) (LW: 3) – The Talons were the lone team off last week, and they return to the gridiron on Saturday night with their first road battle of the season after a pair of home wins against solid teams.
Up Next: Away @ Arizona

3: Milwaukee Iron (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) (LW: 5) – It wasn’t a guaranteed cover the entire way, but the Iron never really had any doubts about beating Iowa on Friday night. It was another great game for QB Chris Greisen, who threw for 382 yards and seven TDs in a second straight relatively flawless effort. Milwaukee could be ArenaBowl bound if this keeps up.
Up Next: Home vs. Tampa Bay

4: Spokane Shock (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 6) - Depending on what number you got the Shock at, you could’ve cashed a winning ticket on Saturday against the Battle Wings. The one thing certain about Spokane is that it’s going to score some points every time it takes the field. It has put up at least 60 in all three outings. The question however is the defense, which has now conceded 70+ points twice.
Up Next: Bye

5: Bossier City Battle Wings (2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS) (LW: 4) – Don’t blame QB Raymond Philyaw for the Bossier City loss at Spokane in Week 3 AFL betting action. He threw 10 TD passes, which came up just one shy of the AFL record. Philyaw’s one pick was probably the difference maker in a 78-70 loss, but any time you’re a QB and can drop 70+ points in this league, you’ve done something special.
Up Next: Bye

6: Alabama Vipers (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) (LW: 9) - The Vipers went on the road and nailed down a victory against a poor Utah team on Saturday to move into the top half of the AFL power rankings. Alabama FB Dan Alexander had four more rushing touchdowns, giving him 13 on the year. No one else in the league has more than four rushing scores for the entire season.
Up Next: Bye

And the rest…
7: Tampa Bay Storm (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) (LW: 8 )
8: Jacksonville Sharks (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) (LW: 10)
9: Arizona Rattlers (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) (LW: 2)
10: Dallas Vigilantes (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) (LW: 7)
11: Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) (LW: 14)
12: Iowa Barnstormers (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) (LW: 11)
13: Cleveland Gladiators (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) (LW: 12)
14: Orlando Predators (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) (LW: 13)
15: Utah Blaze (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) (LW: 15)

Week 3 Arena Football League Power Poll – April 13th 2010

The AFL betting season enters its third week of play this week with a full slate of seven games. Check out how we’re ranking the clubs through the first two weeks of the season!

1: Chicago Rush (2-0 SU, 1-1 ATS) – The Rush had some high expectations coming into this season, but they haven’t quite lived up to the hype yet in spite of the fact that they’re 2-0. The defense has been incredible, forcing nine turnovers in two games, which is a large chunk of the reason the offense has averaged 60.0 points per game.
Up Next: Away @ Arizona

2: Arizona Rattlers (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) – After taking a week off, the Rattlers will come back to play this week in their home opener, which will be the first professional football game ever to be free for every fan in attendance. ‘Zona has only played one game this year, but that win at Cleveland was very impressive in Week 1.
Up Next: Home vs. Chicago

3: Tulsa Talons (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) – There aren’t many teams that have put together as impressive a resume as the Talons have. Tulsa has knocked off both Tampa Bay and Dallas this year, two teams that were expected to be ArenaBowl contenders. We’ll have to wait another week to see how this team can do on the road, though.
Up Next: Bye

4: Bossier City Battle Wings (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) – The Battle Wings were short underdogs to the Predators this past week, but they made all of those that backed the red and black pay with a solid 73-67 win that was never truly in doubt. QB Raymond Philyaw has Bossier playing well right now, but this is another team that still hasn’t proven anything on the road quite yet. A stiff test waits in the Great Northwest.
Up Next: Away @ Spokane

5: Milwaukee Iron (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) – Milwaukee’s offense was arguably the most impressive unit in Week 1, putting up 74 points in a hostile environment like Spokane. After a week off, the Iron has a great chance to move to 2-0 when a very questionable Iowa Barnstormers outfit comes a calling for their home opener in Week 3 action.
Up Next: Home vs. Iowa

6: Spokane Shock (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) – The Shock know that they’re going to have one of the best home field advantages in the AFL, but they got the job done on the road when they absolutely obliterated the Blaze in Utah last Friday. We should get a much better look at how good this team is going to be this week in the first of this brief two-game home stand.
Up Next: Home vs. Bossier City

And the rest…
7: Dallas Vigilantes (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
8: Tampa Bay Storm (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
9: Alabama Vipers (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS)
10: Jacksonville Sharks (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS)
11: Iowa Barnstormers (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
12: Cleveland Gladiators (0-2 SU, 1-1 ATS)
13: Orlando Predators (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
14: Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
15: Utah Blaze (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
