BREAKDOWN
Frisco stands in first place in the Eastern Conference with the league's best mark of 9-2. The Fighters won their first seven games of the season, but they've shown some kinks in their armor as they've dropped two of their last four. A win against these Wranglers would complete a 2-1 road trip before they head back to Frisco for their next two games; against the Bay Area Panthers 9co-leaders of the Western Conference and the playoff contending Sioux Falls Storm. They escaped the latter last week with a last-second field goal from Bryce Crawford. TJ Edwards is a top MVP candidate this season as he leads the IFL with 59 combined touchdowns; including a league-leading 36 rushing. They score 56.2 points per game (first in IL) and allow 42.3 (fourth).

BREAKDOWN
Northern Arizona may have saved its playoff fortunes with its two-point win over the San Diego Strike Force last week. Now, however, it's an "out of the frying pan, into the fire" scenario as the Wranglers face four playoff-bound teams over their final games. This contest against the Fighters won't help their conference record should they win, but it won't hurt that potential tiebreaker should they lose. Wranglers quarterback Garrett Kettle has accounted for 42 touchdowns for the team this season. The Wranglers and Arizona Rattlers co-lead the league with 15 sacks. They score 38.1 points per game (13th in IFL) and allow 38.9 (first).
