BREAKDOWN
Arizona has been on a tear over the past four weeks and is looking to keep pace with the Bay Area Panthers atop the Western Conference. The Rattlers will likely need a Panthers loss to break the tie and take sole possession of first place in the conference. Should they accomplish that by season's end, they could find themselves with home field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. Following this game, the Rattlers close out the regular season with three straight at the friendly confines of the Footprint Center. Drew Powell is throwing for 176.4 yards per game and is rushing for 49.6. Receiver Braxton Haley was injured last week, making his status unknown coming into this game. They score54.8 points per game (second) and allow 49.1 (11th).

BREAKDOWN
There is some good news and bad news for Duke City as they embark on their last four games of the season. The good news is that all four contests are at home. The bad news is that three of those four come against the top three teams in the Western Conference. It all starts with this Rattlers team, which the Gladiators have not defeated in their three-plus seasons in the IFL. They are two games out of a playoff spot, but stringing together some wins and getting some help elsewhere in the conference would give them a chance. They've been right in every game since they signed indoor football journeyman Charles McCullum, who has thrown for 20 scores and rushed for four. They score 42.4 points per game (ninth in IFL) and allow 50.2 (12th).
