Breakdown
PIRATES
Massachusetts has suffered some hiccups this season, but the Pirates have won two straight and are challenging for one of the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference. They are a game back of the Frisco Fighters, so they need some help, but the Pirates have defeated the Fighters, so if head-to-head records apply, still have an opportunity to gain the top seed (the IFL has yet to announcing its tiebreaker procedures). They score 38.2 points per game (ninth) and allow 35.7 (fifth). Alejandro Bennifield missed last week's game against the Bismarck Bucks, but may be expected back. He is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the league. Backup Mike Glass III has thrown last-minute winning touchdowns in the last two games. Martez Carter is the stalwart running back for the Pirates. Thomas Owens is one of the top receivers in the IFL, though his official stats cannot be defined. Isaac Zico has 392 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Lukas Denis leads the defense with 46 tackles and three interceptions, and Khalid Wooten has 45 takedowns an a pair of picks. Craig Peterson has struggled with point-afters this season, but remains a better kicker in the league.
GLADIATORS
Duke City is poised to enter the playoffs. The Gladiators have won three straight and sit in a tie with the Tucson Sugar Skulls in the Western Conference for the third seed in the playoffs. This matchup against the defending champions could be an opportunity to improve their standing in the playoff race. They have two game at home and on the road. The Gladiators score 41.5 points per game (sixth) and allow 40.7 (10th). Ramone Atkins has been a savior for the Gladiators since coming assuming the quarterback duties. In just eight games, he is fifth in the league with 1,312 yards and first with 33 touchdown tosses. He also has eight rushing scores. The Gladiators have a trio of talented receivers. Jared Elmore is among the league leaders with 15 touchdowns, and Dello Davis leads the IFL with 611 receiving yards (67.9 per game). Gregory Dent, Jr. adds nine touchdowns. Byron Cooper has emerged as a leader on defense with 63 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. Roderick Chapman has a pair of interceptions to go along with 32 tackles. Dent also is a contributor on defense. Veteran Kevin Goessling is as accurate a kicker in the league.
