Week 13 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 13 AFL Matchup: Cleveland Gladiators @ Iowa Barnstormers
Date: Friday, June 1st, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Iowa -1 (105)

Iowa’s season is probably said and done with after losing last week at home to Spokane. The truth of the matter is that Cleveland probably has a better team than do the Shock, and that could bode well for the guests. The Barnstormers just haven’t played all that well at home, and they have now had back-to-back terrible offensive games. The defense for the Glads should be good enough to get the job done, even on the road. Remember that Cleveland has done really, really well this year on the road, winning games in some of the toughest venues in the league.

AFL Week 13 Pick: Cleveland Gladiators +1

Week 13 AFL Matchup: Tampa Bay Storm @ Jacksonville Sharks
Date: Saturday, June 2nd, 7:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Jacksonville -3.5 (99)

The Sharks are back to .500, and they could take the lead in the Southern Division if they can win this game. Tampa Bay has kept its perfect record intact… It is 6-0 at home and 0-5 on the road. Can QB Steve Wasil get the job done? It just doesn’t seem all that likely that he does, but if he doesn’t, the Storm could be bringing in QB Nick Hill, who was originally signed to be the team’s starting quarterback. Take the points with Tampa Bay, just knowing that if Hill comes in, the Storm are going to have the big time advantage.

AFL Week 13 Pick: Tampa Bay Storm +3.5

Week 13 AFL Matchup: Orlando Predators @ Philadelphia Soul
Date: Saturday, June 2nd, 7:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Philadelphia -23.5 (106)

These two teams met a few weeks ago in Orlando, and the Predators went from up 47-27 failing to cover +13.5 on the AFL point spreads. Now, the team has to go on the road, where it has already blown a pair of 20+ point leads this year as well. The Soul have been suspect at home this year though, and the team often finds ways to blow games. Could Orlando pull off the upset? Of course not. But are the Predators good enough to stick inside of a 23.5 point spread? Surely.

AFL Week 13 Pick: Orlando Predators +23.5

Week 13 AFL Matchup: New Orleans VooDoo @ Georgia Force
Date: Saturday, June 2nd, 7:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Georgia -2 (101)

QB RJ Archer has been in the lineup, out of the lineup, in the lineup, and out of the lineup over the course of the last four games, but he is back now. Does it make that much of a difference, though? We just don’t think so. The VooDoo have been massive underachievers this year, but this is a chance to make amends on the road against a Georgia team that, quite frankly, really does feel like it set to fall apart and fall right out of the playoffs picture altogether.

AFL Week 13 Pick: New Orleans VooDoo +2

Week 13 AFL Matchup: Utah Blaze @ Kansas City Command
Date: Saturday, June 2nd, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Utah -10.5 (107)

The Blaze have an absolutely atrocious defense, but their offense is still top of the line. QB Tommy Grady already has 87 TD passes this year, and he is destined to get back on track at some clutch point during a game. The good news is that that moment shouldn’t exist this time around, though. The Command have won two in a row, but we just don’t think that they have beaten a good team yet. This is a get better game for Utah for sure, and though we hate laying double digits on the road, we feel as though we have no choice. The Blaze will get to 55. The Command haven’t gotten to 50 in almost a full calendar year.

AFL Week 13 Pick: Utah Blaze -10.5

Week 13 AFL Matchup: San Jose SaberCats @ Milwaukee Mustangs
Date: Saturday, June 2nd, 8:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: San Jose -6.5 (125)

We really feel bad for the Mustangs once again in this one. They are a heck of a lot better than their 3-7 record suggests, but they’re in just a terrible spot again on Saturday night. OL Adam Tadisch is out of the fold for the first time, and the offensive line was atrocious against Tampa Bay after he was out of the lineup, and the receiving corps was beat up badly in that game as well. On top of that, San Jose is going to be playing on emotion. FB Johnie Kirton died after last week’s game, and you know that the team is going to want to be great on the night that all of the players will be wearing a No. 37 in his honor. Lay the points.

AFL Week 13 Pick: San Jose SaberCats -6.5

Week 13 AFL Matchup: Pittsburgh Power @ Arizona Rattlers
Date: Saturday, June 2nd, 10:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Arizona -24 (114)

The Rattlers are the biggest favorites in the history of the AFL at 24 points, and there is definitely something to be said about this. Pittsburgh is the worst team in the league in our eyes, and matters are so bad that it had to fire Head Coach Chris Siegfried just before the team’s bye week. We definitely question what new OC Mike Tomczak can bring to the table, knowing that he has never had a thing to do with the AFL, but he is going to have QB Andrico Hines back, who might start in the desert on Saturday night. In the end, there just isn’t a team in the league that should be laying more than three touchdowns to any other team, and we think that new HC Derek Stingley could get a good effort out of his boys on Saturday to at least stick within a few scores.

AFL Week 13 Pick: Pittsburgh Power +24

Week 13 AFL Matchup: Spokane Shock @ Chicago Rush
Date: Sunday, June 3rd, 4:00 ET
Arena Football Week 13 Odds: Chicago -1 (125)

Spokane and Chicago are both fighting for the playoffs in the National Conference. The Shock have been the better team of late, getting the job done against some great teams all over the country. We still think that there is something really wrong with Chicago, but in the end, we think that it will figure out how to win this game at home. There is just too much on the line right now for the Rush, who are quickly starting to fall apart. They were good enough to win on the road last week at San Jose but got ridiculously unlucky, and if that’s the case, they should be good enough to beat the Shock at home on Sunday.

AFL Week 13 Pick: Chicago Rush -1
