AFL Betting: Arizona Rattlers vs. Spokane Shock Outlook: August 6th 2010
The 2010 AFL Playoff betting Divisional Round continues Friday Night August 6th at 10:30 ET when the feisty Arizona Rattlers (10-6, 10-5-1 ATS) slither into the Spokane Veterans memorial Arena to take on the Spokane Shock (13-3, 9-7 ATS). Both clubs closed out their regular season campaigns on the wrong end of the scoreboard. The Rattlers felt the wrath of the Iowa Barnstormers 67-47 as 10.5-point calk, while the Shock lost to Jacksonville 64-49 as 6.5-point underdogs. The defeat ended their 11-game winning streak, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter because the Shock already earned the right to host every game including the ArenaBowl if indeed they qualify.
The Rattlers finished up the regular season with a 10-6 SU mark and made AFL bettors happy churning out a 10-5-1 ATS mark. They went 5-3 in their eight road games and put forth a sparkling 7-1 ATS record. On the offensive side of the ball, the Rattlers scored an average of 59.8 PPG and gained an average of 323.8 YPG, while the defense gave up 55.3 PPG and only allowed 275.1 YPG. QB Nick Davila was the leader of the Rattlers offensive attack throwing for 4,858 yards to go along with a 102/17 TD/INT ratio.

The Shock has been the best team in AFL all season (13-3, 9-7 ATS) long. After splitting their first four games of the season, HC Rob Keefe’s club rattled off 11 wins in a row before falling last week in Jacksonville. They were great at home winning six of their eight games overall while recording a 5-3 ATS mark. They are the best team coming out of the National Conference regular season, and start the playoffs as the overall #1 seed. QB Kyle Rowley lit up opponents all season compiling an astounding 4,475 yards through the air to go with an amazing TD/INT ratio of 102/11.
In the two previous AFL betting match-ups of these west division rivals this season, the Shock claimed a sweep. The first meeting was held in Arizona where the Shock came away with a 63-56 win as 1.5-point underdogs, and they took the second game in Spokane 37-36 as 7-point favorites; much to the dismay of their AFL betting backers.
The Shock currently sit as 7-point home favorites with a game ‘total’ set at 112 for tonight’s AFL betting battle.
