ANALYSIS
With the Steamwheelers embarking on their first IFL season and the River Kings being newly rebranded, this game could be the birth of a new, regional rivalry. Quad City comes in at 1-1.

They are coming off a bye as they attempt to get back into the win column in this one. The River Kings have looked good at home thus far this season and, if not for a last second field goal by the Sioux Falls Storm's Miles Bergner in the season opener, they could enter this game with a plus-.500 record. after being blown out by the Arizona Rattlers in week 2, they responded with a home win over the Strike Force last week.
