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)
