BREAKDOWN
Massachusetts sits in third place in the IFL standings, just a half game back of the Quad City Steamwheelers in second place in the Eastern Conference. Should the Pirates be able to earn the second seed -- or the first for that matter -- would mean a home game in at least the first round of the playoffs. Following this game, they play three straight at home before going out on the road for the final three games of the regular season. Five of those matchups come against teams currently situated in the playoff race. The Pirates score 51.1 points per game (second in IFL) and allow 50.3 (13th).

BREAKDOWN
Though the overall record is a tad discouraging for even an expansion team, Tulsa has been competitive as the season has progressed. The Oilers took the Frisco Fighters (6-0 at the time) down to the final seconds before losing on a late field goal by the Fighters. They have an advantageous back half of their schedule which features five of their last seven games at home against six different opponents; a recipe to play playoff spoiler in several instances. Linebacker Jordan Jones leads the IFL with 57.5 total tackles on the season. The Oilers score 36.6 points per game (13th in IFL) and allow 49.5 (12th).
