AFL - FRIDAY NIGHT - 7/30/2010

Spokane Shock (+6.5) vs Jacksonville Sharks (-6.5)

Pick: Jacksonville Sharks (-6.5)

The Shock (13-2) have already wrapped up home field throughout the National Conference. All they have left to play for is pride and a perfect record on the road. They also have an 11 game win streak going. The Jacksonville Sharks (11-4) on the other hand is trying to wrap up home field advantage throughout the American Conference. If they lose this game, they might have to play on the road in the 1st round in the playoffs, so this game is really important to them. I think the Sharks will prevail at home by a touchdown or more.

Tulsa Talons (+2.5) vs Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (-2.5)

Pick: Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (-2.5)

Just like the Shock, the Tulsa Talons (9-6) have already wrapped up everything. They have already clinched a home playoff game for the start of the playoffs. The Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (6-9) on the other hand are playing their last game of the year at home where they have a 5-2 record. Their only losses came to the mighty Shock and the Sharks. They're a better team than their record says. They have lost 4 games by 5 points or less. I see the Yard Dawgz coming a way with the victory in this Oklahoma state battle.

The Sharks are now -5.5 at my book.

Are they restin the starters? 

I'm lookin at this line and wondering how a team that wins 12 in a row is giving 5.5 points.  Granted they're playing a top team.

It's a toss-up according to this link.

"No one from the Shock organization has come out and said whether coach Rob Keefe will play his starters for the entire game or sit them out and save them for the playoffs. The Shock have home field advantage wrapped up regardless of what happens in Florida. Because they have the best record in the league, if they win in both rounds of the playoffs they'd host the Arena Bowl in Spokane."

Thanks my man

That's all I need to know.  I'm on the Sharks -5.5.

 

Good luck to the both of us

1-1 Got the JAX play, was off on the TULSA-OKC game.

I'm going with Tampa Bay (-8) against Orlando tonight. Both teams are already locked into their playoffs games. Nothing to play for but pride and Florida bragging rights. As I did last night, I'll take the home team Tampa Bay who is 6-1 at home, hopefully it's a different result than the Oklahoma state battle.

GL to the very few COVERS members who lurk this AFL forum

Not looking so good right now. Down 28-7. Guess the Storm don't care about their fans and the last home game...

 SHARKS ML FOR ME

Lets Go Sharks!
