View from the enemy: N/A

Tulsa is coming off a tough loss to the Gladiators where the Talons lead at halftime before losing both Al Hunt and Troy McBroom to Injury. This week Brian Paysinger replaces Hunt and needs a big game.

Chicago coming in: The Rush played last Saturday easily handling the New Orleans VooDoo.

THE MATCHUP

The numbers lie in this one. The Talons lead Chicago in all my normal categories: Pass Offense, Rush Offense, and Total Defense. However, Chicago is 5-2 and leads the division. While Tulsa is 2-5 and tied for last in the division.

QBMatt Bassuener will have some tough looks against Chicago's tough Defense. As stated above, in addition to Troy McBroom's normal game. Paysinger will need to come off injury with a big game.

On Defense, J.C. Neal and Fred Shaw will have their hands full with all-star QB Russ Michna who is one of the best QBs in the league. Hopefully they can get a boost from an improving Talons pass rush of Victor DeGrate, Collin Bryant, and Nekos Brown.

Kickoff at 7:00 CT.
