Week 12 Arena Football League Power Poll – June 16th 2010

Handicappers PicksJun 15, 2010

The AFL betting season enters its twelfth week of play this week with a full slate of games. Check out how we’re ranking the clubs through the first 11 weeks of the season!

1: Jacksonville Sharks (7-2 SU, 5-4 ATS) (LW: 1) - Even though the Sharks did go up to Spokane and lose a few weeks ago, we tend to believe that they have the best overall resume of any team in the AFL to date. After a week off, a trip to the Jungle could be difficult. It’ll mark the return of HC Les Moss to the city that he coached in for almost two decades.

Up Next: Away @ Orlando

2: Spokane Shock (7-2 SU, 4-5 ATS) (LW: 2) - Spokane needed some magic at the end of their AFL betting affair with the Predators on Saturday, but they walked out of Orlando with a victory to tie Jacksonville for the best record in the league. QB Kyle Rowley chucked three picks though, and he’ll need to improve upon that if the Shock is to avoid getting bounced this week.

Up Next: Home vs. Tulsa

3: Milwaukee Iron (7-3 SU, 6-4 ATS) (LW: 4) – A dominant second half performance against the Gladiators moves Milwaukee up a slot in this week’s AFL Power Poll. The 82 points scored was the second highest point total of the season. A win in the Windy City this week could effectively lock up the Midwest Division.

Up Next: Away @ Chicago

4: Arizona Rattlers (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) (LW: 3) - Shame on the Rattlers for needing to stop a two point conversion against Oklahoma City to pick up a home victory on Friday night. The fun and games are almost over for Arizona, but another win should be in the cards this week.

Up Next: Home vs. Bossier City

5: Chicago Rush (7-3 SU, 5-4-1 ATS) (LW: 5) – With almost an entire new receiving corps, QB Rush Michna still had a fantastic game, going 16/19 for 217 yards and six scores against the lowly Blaze on Saturday night. This was merely a tune up for this week’s rematch against the Iron in which revenge will clearly be on the minds of the members of the Rush.

Up Next: Home vs. Milwaukee

6: Tampa Bay Storm (6-3 SU, 3-6 ATS) (LW: 6) - Between the win at Alabama and Orlando’s loss to Spokane, the Storm were arguably the biggest winners in the 11th week of AFL betting action. For the third straight game, Tampa Bay had to hold on for dear life at the death, but HC Tim Marcum will take wins any way he can get them.

Up Next: Away @ Utah
