AFL MF PICKS

Although I already have spread a few too many seeds out today (Derby, game 7's) I decided there's no way to stay away from the AFL. Initially I started this as a filler sport between the NBA and the NFL starting up after the summer. Now I legitimately find myself scouting the teams and trying to find out what channel the Orlando Predators and San Jose Sabercats kick off on tonight!

ARI (-9.5) at JAX (L)
The only reason this line isn't ARI (-20) is because the team from Jacksonville gets to call this a home game. If you are a fan of this team and are looking to attend a game for support reasons, skip this one. Arizona is gonna rattle on in to town and blow this Sharks squad out of the building.

PHI at PIT under 104 (L)
Taking the under any time is scary to me when it comes to the Arena League. The field is only 50 yards for god sakes!! A team entirely composed of Lingerie Football players could probably average 45! But this Pitt team knows how to play some D. Couple that with the fact that I am not very high on this Philly team and you have a solid under bet!

POR at TAMPA (-6.5) (L)
I really wanted to take the expansion Portland team, because despite their record they have competed in some games they had no business in. All in all though I decided to back one of the oldest franchises in the game, playing in their barn against an expansion team from the Pacific Northwest. Take the Tampa Bay whatever (probably something weather related) and watch them win by two touchdowns.

ORL (+10) at San Jose (L)
The game of the night! Two very hot teams right now meet in California to establish which team is legitimate. I'm assuming that San Jose is favored by more than a touchdown because they are home, but I really trust this ORL team. Don't be surprised if the Predators from Orlando win this outright, but if they don't, they definitely cover.
