On Friday night, the Arena Football League kicks off its eighth week of action, and AFL betting fans certainly won't want to miss what amounts to our Game of the Year!

Milwaukee Iron (-7) @ Orlando Predators
Friday, May 21st
7:30 ET, Amway Arena, Orlando, FL

Milwaukee Notes: Milwaukee comes into this game off of a narrow escape against the lowly Utah Blaze last week. However, the overtime victory was most likely only a case of the Iron overlooking a relatively weak opponent on the heels of a huge win against the Chicago Rush the week before. QB Chris Greisen is by far the highest rated passer in the league, as he has thrown 43 touchdown passes against just one interception all season long. The offense for Milwaukee isn't a complex one, as it quite often simply takes a one-step drop back and throws, but Greisen and his wide receivers do it better than anyone else in the AFL. The Iron are averaging 67.5 points per game and are tied for third in the league with 52 offensive touchdowns scored. Defensively, the team is allowing 58.2 points per game, which is a middle of the road number, but the unit has also scored five touchdowns and is forcing 2.2 turnovers per game.

Orlando Notes: Orlando is getting a break from the oddsmakers in this one because of the fact that it has won back to back games. However, both of those games came on the road against teams playing without their starting quarterbacks. The situation is significantly different this week going up against Greisen and the gang. The secondary for the Predators is banged up, as both DBs Kenny McEntyre and Damon Mason are battling ailments. That's awful news, especially against Milwaukee, and all the more miserable because of the fact that the defensive line only has two sacks all season long. If Greisen doesn't feel any heat in the pocket, it's going to be an incredibly long day for the hosts. Offensively speaking, QB Nick Hill has the second lowest yards per attempt (6.72) of any starting quarterback in the league, and his 21 touchdowns against six interceptions in five games isn't anything to write home about for certain.

The Final Word: This game could open up and become a romp in a hurry. The Iron are simply one or two stops away from blow Orlando out of its own arena. Look for Greisen to lead a clinic drive after drive, as it is hard to see how the Predators are even mustering a single stop in this game. Milwaukee has only faced two road tests this year, and though it failed the test in Alabama, it passed the one in Spokane with flying colors to start the season. Arena Football League records could be shattered in this one, as this is one of the biggest mismatches of the season to date.

Prediction: Milwaukee 86 – Orlando 60
