Orlando at Jacksonville – NFL Network
The Sharks were the top team in the American Conference with a record of 14-4. They also finished the regular season with a profitable record of 11-6-1 against the Arena Football betting odds at BetDSI sportsbook. Jacksonville was one of the hottest teams earlier this season when they won a league-record 13 straight games but they slumped a bit at the end of the year when they had nothing to play for. They did look good last week as they close out the season with a win over Spokane.
Head coach Les Moss knows that his team can’t afford to slip up now. “From now on, you have to be perfect,” Moss said. “There are no second chances once you get into the playoffs.” The Sharks will have home field advantage against Orlando and if they win on Friday they would be home again next week in the conference final.
Spokane at Arizona
Last year’s Arena Football League champions, the Spokane Shock will face this year’s top team, the Arizona Rattlers on Friday. Last year it was Spokane beating Arizona 57-49 in the first round of the playoffs and that win propelled the Shock to an eventual title. This time around it is Arizona who is the dominant team in the league and they are heavily favored to rout Spokane in Arena Football betting at BetDSI.
Dallas at Chicago
These two rivals will meet on Friday in Chicago and if history is any indication it should be a great matchup. The Rush won both meetings this season against Dallas by scores of 53-44 and 69-57. It can oftentimes be very difficult to beat a team three times in a season.
Sunday, August 31st
Georgia at Cleveland
This is a rematch of a game earlier this year that saw Cleveland roll to a 62-48 win. Cleveland is at home because they won their division but Georgia actually finished the season with a better record.
