Week 14 Arena Football League Power Poll – July 2nd 2010

Handicappers PicksJul 1, 2010

The AFL betting season enters its fourteenth week of play this week with a full slate of games. Check out how we’re ranking the clubs through the first 13 weeks of the season!

1: Spokane Shock (9-2 SU, 6-5 ATS) (LW: 1) - There is really no doubt at this point that the road to the ArenaBowl is going to go through Spokane as long as the Shock don’t trip up this week. They now hold the tiebreaker and two games on Milwaukee after posting an impressive two TD win on the road last week.

Up Next: Home vs. Arizona

2: Arizona Rattlers (8-3 SU, 7-4 ATS) (LW: 2) - Don’t count the Rats out of everything just yet! It will be a huge sin to see either Arizona or Spokane have to go on the road in the first round of the playoffs, but the loser of this upcoming game, particularly if it is Arizona, is in huge trouble.

Up Next: Away @ Spokane

3: Chicago Rush (9-3 SU, 7-4-1 ATS) (LW: 4) – The Rush are rolling right now, and the Midwest Division title is in sight. The NFL Network will be broadcasting this week’s clash in Tampa Bay, which could be the defining moment of the season for the boys from the Windy City after demolishing Orlando in Week 13.

Up Next: Away @ Tampa Bay

4: Tampa Bay Storm (8-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) (LW: 5) – After beating up on a hapless Bossier team last week for the biggest home win in franchise history, the Storm are going to look to keep their six game winning streak alive when the Rush come to the St. Pete Times Forum. Expect HC Tim Marcum to have his team fired up, as this is the last home game for the squad until the end of July.

Up Next: Home vs. Chicago

5: Jacksonville Sharks (7-4 SU, 5-6 ATS) (LW: 3) – The mojo that the Sharks had a few weeks ago appears to have disappeared. This is the first time that they have been trailing in the South in months, and the real danger is there to fall out of the playoffs with more losses, especially if one of those defeats comes this week against another divisional foe.

Up Next: Home vs. Alabama

6: Milwaukee Iron (7-5 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 6) – If either Iowa or Cleveland can get its act together, the Iron may find themselves in a boat load of trouble down the stretch. The good news is that the team is basically on a bye week this week, but the bad news is that opposing teams are starting to breathe down Milwaukee’s neck for that last playoff spot.

Up Next: Away @ Utah

And the rest...

7: Alabama Vipers (6-5 SU, 5-6 ATS) (LW: 8 )

8: Tulsa Talons (7-5 SU, 8-4 ATS) (LW: 9)

9: Orlando Predators (5-6 SU, 6-5 ATS) (LW: 7)

10: Iowa Barnstormers (5-6 SU, 5-6 ATS) (LW: 11)

11: Cleveland Gladiators (5-7 SU, 7-5 ATS) (LW: 10)

12: Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (4-7 SU, 6-5 ATS) (LW: 12)

13: Bossier City Battle Wings (3-9 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 13)

14: Dallas Vigilantes (1-10 SU, 3-8 ATS) (LW: 14)

15: Utah Blaze (1-10 SU, 2-9 ATS) (LW: 15)
