Last Week: 4-3
Overall: 48-30 (.615)
Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings at Tampa Bay Storm: TAMPA BAY. This should be a somewhat easy win for Tampa, however I don't see it being a blowout. Most likely by about 10 points.
Arizona Rattlers at Jacksonville Sharks: JACKSONVILLE. Jacksonville is coming off a bad loss. The big thing is that a lot of the loss is due to the whole they started in after some unfortunate circumstances. They should be back to form this week.
Cleveland Gladiators at Tulsa Talons: TULSA. Tulsa has been hot and cold as of late. But the team knows they need to get better and more consistent for the playoffs. I expect to see a new level of determination on Saturday.
Spokane Shock at Milwaukee Iron: SPOKANE. Rematch from the first week of the season which lead to one of Spokane's two loses. Expect them to come out for a little revenge. Add that to their near flawless play as of late and they will be hard to stop.
Orlando Predators at Chicago Rush: CHICAGO. Orlando has been hot as of late, but Chicago just looked impressive, even without Michna, last week.
Dallas Vigilantes at Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz: DALLAS. Dallas has been consistently just behind the competition, but this is the one team they have beat before. I could see this being a team where Dallas finally starts to click and get some wins.
Utah Blaze at Iowa Barnstormers: IOWA. Really? You know this response. UTAH IS TURRRRIBLE.

Headlines
Recap from last week's win: "Rallying to beat the Dallas Vigilantes is getting to be a pleasant habit for the Tulsa Talons."
This week the AFL named Justin Allgood the Offensive Player of the Week: "Allgood completed 25-of-37 passes for a season-high 384 passing yards and eight touchdowns. Allgood leads the AFL with 70 touchdown passes."
A look at tonight's game from Spokane's viewpoint: "Second-ranked Spokane (7-2) leads the league in total defense (264.9 yards) while the offense is second in scoring (67.1 points). No. 7 Tulsa (6-4) has an AFL-leading 17 sacks and an offense averaging 62.7 points. Quarterback Justin Allgood has an AFL-best 70 touchdown passes."
I know its a shock video but it got me excited for tonight (may need facebook to play)
ArenaFan.com's Andy Lopusnak gives Allgood some respect: "Tulsa QB Justin Allgood celebrated his 27th birthday on Friday night by leading his Talons to a come-from-behind victory against Dallas 69-51. The Dallas-area native completed 25-of-37 for a season-high 384 yards with eight touchdowns and an interception. Allgood’s final two passes were both seven-yard touchdowns to Donovan Morgan. Five of Allgood’s eight TD passes came in the second half after his team trailed 44-28. Allgood leads the AFL in passing touchdowns (70) and is on pace for 112, which would be the second most in AFL history. Last year in the af2, Allgood led the league with 108 touchdowns."
For 2011 we have at least 3 more teams: Philadelphia Soul, San Jose Sabercats, and Kansas City Brigade

Week 12 Picks
Last Week: 4-3
Overall: 44-27 (.620)
Jacksonville at Orlando: JACKSONVILLE. The Sharks are too complete a team for an Orlando team that is pretty shakey.
Tulsa at Spokane: SPOKANE. I know I am going to catch flack for this but the game really is a toss-up. My general rule in a toss up match is to take the home team. I love the Talons but Spokane in Spokane is going to be tough to beat. But make my pick wrong boys!
Milwaukee at Chicago: MILWAUKEE. I will be honest, at the beginning of the week I had Chicago picked in this one. That all changed when it was announces Rush Michna and Sammie Parker would be gone this week on UFL related business. Backups won't cut it against a great Milwaukee team.
Dallas at Alabama: DALLAS. Well V's you need to win one. I think you got a chance here. Alabama has been hurt and their defense isn't too strong. Get our division another road win please.
Iowa at Cleveland: CLEVELAND. Iowa is just too uncertain to take in this matchup.
Tampa Bay at Utah: TAMPA BAY. Nuff Said.
Bossier-Shreveport at Arizona: ARIZONA. Bossier has shown some life as of late but it will be tough to beat an Arizona team that is really starting to click right now.

Week 11 Headlines
Recap of the Talons First Loss at the BOK: "Breakdowns on offense and in the kicking game were the culprits Saturday as the Talons fell to the Orlando Predators 57-54 before a home crowd estimated at 6,500."
Tulsa World's preview of tonight's game: "The Talons (5-4) are in a tough spot with last week's lackluster loss to Orlando. If they don't win at Dallas, they will go to powerful Spokane next week with the threat of falling under the .500 mark."
The Talons are on pace to set franchise record in attendance: "The Talons are averaging 6,616 through five home games — only about 13 fewer per game than the record 2000 season when the new sport of indoor football drew three sellout crowds of 7,096 to the Convention Center Arena."
Arenafan's Adam Markowitz give Justin Allgood a bad award: "In Week 10, Tulsa's signal caller made the blunder of all blunders by tossing a pick right near the Orlando end zone that really crushed any chances that the Talons had of coming back and keeping their undefeated season at home alive."
A Website this week was launched for the Kansas City Brigade
Similarly, the San Jose Sabercats have had a teaser site up for awhile
