Arena Football League betting action continues on Saturday with the 13th week of play. In what should be one of the most hotly contested battles of the weekend, the Cleveland Gladiators will travel to the Sooner State to tango with the Tulsa Talons.
Cleveland Gladiators (+2) @ Tulsa Talons
Saturday, June 26th
8:00 ET, BOK Center, Tulsa, OK
Cleveland Notes: The Gladiators are starting to really put it together. They rebounded from the beat down they suffered at Milwaukee two weeks ago by coming home and absolutely tattooing Iowa 76-35. QB John Dutton is going to surpass the 70 touchdown barrier this week, as he has 68 for the season. Dutton has thrown for 3,511 yards and completed 65.3 percent of his passes on the year, and after starting off with eight picks in his first two games, Dutton has calmed down and only thrown four blunders since then. Keep a close eye on WR Ben Nelson, who has been one of the best receivers in the league all season long. Nelson leads the team in receptions (118), receiving yards (1,526), and receiving touchdowns (39). With 89 yards through the air, WR Chris Johnson will hit the 1,000 yard mark on the season. The defense has picked off 12 passes on the season, two of which came last week. DT Anthony Hoke picked up two sacks against the Barnstormers as well, giving him a team high 4.5 on the year.
Tulsa Notes: Since starting 2-0, Tulsa has been a very average team that really hasn't picked up any tremendously impressive victories in the interim. QB Justin Allgood entered Week 13 as the leading touchdown passer in the AFL with 75. He has thrown for 3,063 yards as well, including back to back games with at least 340 passing yards. FB Odie Armstrong is quickly becoming one of the most feared rushers in the league, as he has 236 yards and eight scores on the season. WR Donovan Morgan should be able to compete with Nelson, as he has 88 catches, 1,309 yards, and 37 scores on the year. WR Jeff Hughley has over 2,000 all-purpose yards and 22 TDs. The defense has allowed three straight foes to reach 50+ points and has consistently failed to pick up the offense when it is faltering.
The Final Word: This is a very, very important game for both teams. Cleveland, at 5-6, probably won't stand a chance of making the playoffs with a defeat, as it would drop three games in the loss column behind the Milwaukee Iron for the final playoff slot in the National Conference. Tulsa has no worries about making the postseason unless the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz catch some fire, but trying to keep up with the 8-3 Tampa Bay Storm in the American Conference is the goal. Cleveland should be playing with more intensity in this one, especially considering the stakes, and we're going to go with the team with the hotter hand right now to come away with a road victory.
Prediction: Cleveland 55 – Tulsa 51
