Week 10 of the 2012 AFL season is upon us, and here at Cappers Info, we are taking a look at all of the games that are on the AFL betting lines and making our Arena Football predictions for the week ahead!

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Cleveland Gladiators @ Milwaukee Mustangs
Date: Friday, May 11th, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: Milwaukee -8 (106)

The Mustangs were favored by a heck of a lot less earlier in the day, but we still really like what they are bringing to the table in this one. Cleveland’s offense has been bi-polar all year long. Is this the team that struggled mightily against Tampa Bay a few weeks back, or the one that beat Philly on the road? It’s too tough to tell. The Mustangs are legit, and we think that they win this game by more than a TD.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Milwaukee Mustangs -8

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Utah Blaze @ San Jose SaberCats
Date: Friday, May 11th, 10:30 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: San Jose -6.5 (125.5)

San Jose has already been beaten by Utah once this year, and that makes this game all the more important. The Blaze are on the doorstep of something special, as this is their best start in franchise history. Last week, it was the SaberCats that went on the road and finished off the series sweep of a supposedly superior opponent. This week, Utah can do the exact same thing. We don’t know if it will get the job done, but we do think that the Blaze are going to at least keep this one quite close throughout.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Utah Blaze +6.5

Week 10 AFL Matchup: New Orleans VooDoo @ Spokane Shock
Date: Friday, May 11th, 11:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: Spokane -4 (106)

The Shock and the VooDoo are both playing decent ball right now, and both teams have the potential to put a lot of points on the board when push comes to shove. That being said, we prefer backing the hosts in this one to anything else. Spokane has looked like a lot better team these last few weeks with QB Kyle Rowley under center, and we just don’t know if New Orleans, off of a bye week, is going to be able to go all the way to the West Coast and stick with a great home team.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Spokane Shock -4

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Jacksonville Sharks @ Philadelphia Soul
Date: Saturday, May 12th, 7:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: Philadelphia -13.5 (123)

The Soul are still the premier team in this league, but this is now two home losses that the team has suffered this year. There is going to be a big time advantage in this one though, as the Sharks are going to have to go with Bernard Morris, their third different starting quarterback this year. Jacksonville isn’t even close to the team that won the Arena Bowl last year, and if that turns out to stay the case, the Soul are clearly the right percentage play to make.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Philadelphia Soul -13.5

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Tampa Bay Storm @ Georgia Force
Date: Saturday, May 12th, 7:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: Georgia -3 (106)

Last week, we backed Georgia on the road against a Pittsburgh team that we just think is atrocious, and it paid off. This week, we are questioning why the Force are really favorites at home, where an average of about 2,000 fans show up per game. The Storm haven’t won a road game this year, but in fairness, two of their tests were against Chicago and Philly, not nearly the easiest places to play in the world. The Force have no quarterback that is competent on their roster, and that will kill them when push comes to shove in this game.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Tampa Bay Storm +3

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Pittsburgh Power @ San Antonio Talons
Date: Saturday, May 12th, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: San Antonio -10.5 (103)

The Talons looked terrible last week on the road against Kansas City, and now, they get to place one of the other three just god awful teams in the league when Pittsburgh pays its first visit to the Alamodome. QB Aaron Garcia is clearly the superior quarterback here, and we still really don’t think all that much of the Power. Go with AG back at home, even though he is laying double digits.

AFL Week 10 Pick: San Antonio Spurs -10.5

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Kansas City Command @ Iowa Barnstormers
Date: Saturday, May 12th, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: Iowa -13.5 (96)

Somehow, we lived to tell about the fact that we bet on the Command last week, but this time around, we certainly don’t have the fortitude to do so. Iowa is a great home team, and we think that this is just going to be too easy for it to get the job done. The Barnstormers are legit, and they’ll take down another lousy KC team on Saturday night.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Iowa Barnstormers -13.5

Week 10 AFL Matchup: Chicago Rush @ Arizona Rattlers
Date: Saturday, May 12th, 10:00 ET
Arena Football Week 10 Odds: Arizona -7 (112)

Chicago got itself right last week when it was able to beat Iowa at home, and we think that that momentum is going to continue. The Rattlers are playing good ball, but there is still something that is bothering us about the way that they are playing. The Rush have had a great history in this series, especially of late, and we think that they are going to be able to go into the Snake Pit and pull off the upset.

AFL Week 10 Pick: Chicago Rush +7

Week 9 of the 2012 AFL season is upon us, and here at Cappers Info, we are taking a look at all of the games that are on the AFL betting lines and making our Arena Football predictions for the week ahead!

Week 9 AFL Matchup: New Orleans VooDoo @ Jacksonville Sharks
Date: Friday, May 4th, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Jacksonville -3 (115.5)

The VooDoo and the Sharks are both going to be battling in this game, and they know that this is a tight game in the Southern Division, which is still wide open. New Orleans is probably the slightly better of these two teams in the end, and we really think that it is going to be able to go on the road and take a bite out of the Sharks in a big time clash on the NFL Network.

AFL Week 9 Pick: New Orleans VooDoo +3

Week 9 AFL Matchup: Spokane Shock @ Utah Blaze
Date: Friday, May 4th, 9:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Utah -3 (119.5)

Spokane has played a heck of a lot better ball over the course of the last few weeks with QB Kyle Rowley calling the shots under center. That being said, the Blaze are still a 5-2 team, and they are one of those teams that you really don’t think of as an ArenaBowl contender. That being said, there is a reason that Utah is in such good shape thus far on the season, and in the end, we think that the hosts are going to be able to stop Spokane’s momentum in the Western Division.

AFL Week 9 Pick: Utah Blaze -3

Week 9 AFL Matchup: Milwaukee Mustangs @ Philadelphia Soul
Date: Saturday, May 5th, 7:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Philadelphia -9.5 (127)

The Soul have proven that they are a potentially vulnerable team when they were beaten up in the first half against a bad Orlando team. Milwaukee has played well this year, but it has had a tough schedule. This is no exception. We do think that QB Geno Guidugli is going to have the potential to stick toe to toe with the Soul, and though we think that Milwaukee is going to lose this game, but it should be able to manage a single-digit defeat.

AFL Week 9 Pick: Milwaukee Mustangs +9.5

Week 9 AFL Matchup: Orlando Predators @ Tampa Bay Storm
Date: Saturday, May 5th, 7:30 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Tampa Bay -6 (100)

This is the War on I-4, and it is going to be an intense game as always. The Predators really need this victory, and they are supposed to be turning the ball over to Chris Leak on Saturday night. It should be interesting, as Leak clearly has to be a lot better Justin Roper has been doing. The Storm are going to be under a lot of duress in this game, and the end result might be their first loss at home this season. We certainly want the points on our side.

AFL Week 9 Pick: Orlando Predators +6

Week 9 AFL Matchup: Georgia Force @ Pittsburgh Power
Date: Saturday, May 5th, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Pittsburgh -3 (100)

Yuck. The Force have failed to score even 30 points in each of their last two games, but the good news this time around is that they are going to be up against a Pittsburgh offense that has seemingly been conceding this many points to the opponents on a regular basis over the course of the last few weeks. Both of these teams have terrible quarterback situations, but in the end, we have to trust the Force, a team that has shown some potential, over a Pittsburgh team that has really failed to show a pulse for most of the year.

AFL Week 9 Pick: Georgia Force +3

Week 9 AFL Matchup: San Antonio Talons @ Kansas City Command
Date: Saturday, May 5th, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: San Antonio -11.5 (97)

The Command have been brutally awful this year, and they are clearly the worst team in the league. That being said, there just isn’t all that much of a situation in which we see San Antonio deserving to be favored by double digits in a game. QB Aaron Garcia is good, and he is a heck of a lot better than anything that the Command can throw out there, but we just don’t think that he is 11.5 points better than anyone at this point in his career. Goodness help us for backing this god awful Kansas City team.

AFL Week 9 Pick: Kansas City Command +11.5

Week 9 AFL Matchup: San Jose SaberCats @ Arizona Rattlers
Date: Saturday, May 5th, 10:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Arizona -5 (116)

The Rattlers and SaberCats both enter this game at 5-2, and the winner is likely to be tied with Utah atop the Western Division. This is so much more important of a game for Arizona, which has already lost once in this series this year. That being said, the SaberCats, who missed out on the playoffs last year, know that there is blood in the water, and if they can come into the desert and steal an outright upset, they should be well on their way to being the favorites to win ArenaBowl XXV.

AFL Week 9 Pick: San Jose SaberCats +5

Week 9 AFL Matchup: Iowa Barnstormers @ Chicago Rush
Date: Sunday, May 6th, 4:00 ET
Arena Football Week 9 Odds: Chicago -4.5 (116)

The Barnstormers were absolutely blown out of the water at home against San Jose last week, and we are definitely wary over them coming on the road to the Windy City and sticking inside of such a short number. The Rush have lost three in a row after a 4-0 start to the season, but we still think that they are one of the teams to beat in their conference. Iowa already lost at home to the Rush, and though this is a game that it needs to win to keep in the Central Division race, we just don’t see it happening against QB Russ Michna and company. Expect the return for Head Coach Mike Hohensee to Chicago to be a rude one.

AFL Week 9 Pick: Chicago Rush -4.5
