Week 15 Arena Football League Power Poll – July 8th 2010
The AFL betting season enters its fifteenth week of play this week with a full slate of games. Check out how we’re ranking the clubs through the first 14 weeks of the season!
1: Spokane Shock (10-2 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 1) – The Shock laid the smack down on Arizona last week, which effectively clinched up the #1 seed in the National Conference barring a major slip up. It was a shame to not cover the spread after holding the Rats to just 36 points, but the backdoor was wide open in the closing moments.
Up Next: Away @ Cleveland
2: Tampa Bay Storm (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 4) – The Storm have hit their highest point in the AFL betting power poll all season long, and they are on the verge of locking down a playoff spot. The key game is going to be in two weeks in Jacksonville, so a letdown in Dallas is something that must be avoided, particularly after the huge ‘W’ over Chicago last week.
Up Next: Away @ Dallas

3: Chicago Rush (9-4 SU, 7-5-1 ATS) (LW: 3) – What a miserable week for the Rush! Spokane won, Milwaukee won, they lost, and their fullback, Robert Boss left the team to become an assistant coach for an FCS school. The initiative in the division can be lost this week if Chicago isn’t careful, which could send it on the road for the postseason.
Up Next: Home vs. Arizona
4: Arizona Rattlers (8-4 SU, 8-4 ATS) (LW: 2) – The Rattlers aren’t in any sort of playoff trouble at this point, but the loss at Spokane ended any hope of winning the West and earning a home playoff game. This should be a playoff preview this week, as we expect to see Arizona and Chicago duking it out in the Windy City again in a few weeks.
Up Next: Away @ Chicago
5: Jacksonville Sharks (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 5) – The Sharks got back on the boat by crushing Alabama last week. A de facto bye week is ahead before the big one at home against Tampa Bay that will probably determine the winner of the South.
Up Next: Away @ Utah
6: Milwaukee Iron (8-5 SU, 7-6 ATS) (LW: 6) – Ho hum – 82 more points on the board this week for the Iron. Milwaukee knows that two more wins will lock down a playoff berth regardless of who they come against. It will enjoy its final bye this week.
Up Next: Bye
And the rest…
7: Tulsa Talons (7-5 SU, 8-4 ATS) (LW: 8 )
8: Iowa Barnstormers (6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 10)
9: Cleveland Gladiators (6-7 SU, 8-5 ATS) (LW: 11)
10: Alabama Vipers (6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS) (LW: 7)
11: Orlando Predators (5-7 SU, 6-6 ATS) (LW: 9)
12: Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (5-7 SU, 7-5 ATS) (LW: 12)
13: Bossier City Battle Wings (3-10 SU, 6-7 ATS) (LW: 13)
14: Dallas Vigilantes (1-11 SU, 3-9 ATS) (LW: 14)
15: Utah Blaze (1-11 SU, 2-10 ATS) (LW: 15)
