Orlando has been one the stellar franchises in Arena Football betting over the years and with one more win they are guaranteed 14th consecutive arena football season finishing .500 or better. Still, last week’s crushing home loss to Utah 65-62 as 7.5-point favorites really makes the rest of the season a challenge. Friday the Predators are a double-digit underdog to the Sabercats.
The Predators’ remaining schedule starts with a long trek to San Jose, then at suddenly hot New York, home to Southern Division leader Georgia and back on the road to Philadelphia, whom has also righted itself. In spite of winning five of last seven, arena betting the Predators is risky with 3-4 ATS record in that span and 5-7 on the arena betting season. Orlando has defensive strengths, ranking first in sacks and second in red zone defense and passing yards allowed at 269 per game. The Predators are 19-8 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last six games.
San Jose is a juggernaut with six straight wins and 5-0-1 ATS record. The Sabercats can clinch the West Division with a win as quarterback Mark Grieb leads the way, being second in completions and completion percentage in the league. San Jose is 9-2-1 ATS this arena betting season and is 6-0 against the number as a home favorite, winning by monstrous 24.1 PPG. The beat goes on for the Sabercats in the second part of the year with 12-1 ATS record in the second half of the arena betting season over the last two years.
Sportsbook.com has San Jose as 10-point home favorite, as they are the top scoring home team in Arena Football at 68.8 PPG. While this number might sound a bit high, the Sabercats defense has not allowed a team to score 50 points in this winning streak, with the average being 43 PPG.
This AFL contest can be seen on SUN Network or FSN Bay Area at 10:30 Eastern. Go to the Football Betting Trends page to get all the exciting Arena action and view what other bettors believe.
