Even though the records show some differentiation, for those that do not follow arena, this is like Yankees Red Sox in terms of rivalry--the War of I-4. Tampa QB Brian Zbydniewski has been great since he became a starter winning three out of four. I expect this to be close 2. I do not feel as good about, but still putting some money on PHL -5 I bet PHL against Spokane last week and was correct. PHL at home here looks like a good winner as a bounce back game---they are still in the playoff hunt barely...I think they know they need a win and pull it out at home. Good luck

Hasn't thrown a pass this year...not sure if that will help/hurt Philly. But if the 81pt Tulsa team shows up from last week it wont matter who's at QB for Philly.

Hall of Fame Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 23875 Location: United States	#8 Posted: 6/17/2011 7:45:13 PM Perfect example of the crazy AFL...Tulsa has 2 fumbles near the goal line of Philly. Last coming on the 1yd line. What should be a 20-7 Tulsa lead is, 7-6 Philly.

Hall of Fame Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 23875 Location: United States	#11 Posted: 6/17/2011 8:17:20 PM 27-14 Tulsa @ Halftime and they get ball to start the 2nd half. Observations: Tulsa has 2 fumbles both deep in Philly side, last at the 1yd line...really should be 34-14 at worst. Philly has 3 INT's, the first 2 coming from first start mistakes as I expected...last on a hailmarry...so that shouldn't count. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Vena play for Philly sometime 2nd half.
