Week 5 Arena Football League Power Poll – 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)
