The NFL Network is back with Week 5 AFL betting action from Amway Arena, as the Orlando Predators (0-2, 0-2 ATS) take on the Iowa Barnstormers (1-2, 1-2 ATS) in their first home game of the season.

Iowa Barnstormers (+7) @ Orlando Predators

Iowa Notes: The Barnstormers got into the win column for the first time this season when they took out the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz last week at home in "The Barn." QB Ryan Vena had his best game of the young season. Even though he only threw for 217 yards, he accounted for seven total touchdowns. Iowa's offense only turned the ball over one time. WR Jesse Schmidt is off to a great start this year, as he has already picked up 352 yards and five touchdowns receiving, three of which came in last week's win. There are still a ton of questions about the Iowa defense, as the unit has given up at least 60 points in all of its games this year, but the unit came up big when it had to in the third quarter against Oklahoma City, as it was down ten points and the football with less than half the quarter to play. Iowa didn't give up a touchdown on four straight possessions, its best string of the season.

Orlando Notes: Orlando enjoyed its second and final bye week of the season last week and is now ready to open the doors at "The Jungle" for the first time since the end of the 2008 season. The Predators have to be angry coming off of an embarrassing 57-31 loss at Jacksonville on national television two weeks ago at the Jacksonville Sharks. It was the worst road loss that the team had suffered in six years. Orlando's defense has only gotten four stops all season long, and the defensive line has yet to record a sack. The Predators may have the best set of wide receivers in the league, led by WR TT Toliver, who already has nearly 400 all-purpose yards on the year.

The Final Word: Iowa is a sneaky team that many don't know anything about. Two losses against Milwaukee and Chicago came against the only two undefeated teams left in the league. The win against Oklahoma City wasn't much to write home about either. We tend to believe that the Predators are going to notch their first win of the season in front of their home crowd, but doing so by more than a touchdown isn't likely. If Vena can keep the football for the Barnstormers, Iowa shouldn't have too tough of a time walking out of the Sunshine State with a cover.

Prediction: Orlando 54 – Iowa 51
