BREAKDOWN
Bay Area has been one of the surprises of this IFL season. Some pre-season polls had the Panthers as high as second in power rankings and shoo-ins for a playoff berth. All they've done is prove those pollsters correct in the first half of the season. The second half of the season could be rough, however, as they face the Arizona Rattlers and Frisco Fighters; both on the road. They play five of their last seven games on the road, including four of their last five. They have won four of their last five games, including last week's win over the Fighters. They score 48.5 points per game (fifth in IFL) and allow 42.1 (fourth).
