BREAKDOWN
Tucson can play a little bit of spoiler in this game. The Sugar Skulls can virtually knock the Knight Hawks out of a home game in the playoffs with a win in this one. It's been a disappointing season for sure, but they have shown some competitiveness in some games. Their highest point of the season came in a 51-50 overtime win over the Knight Hawks on May 18. After Jorge Reyna scored on a two-yard run in overtime. The Sugar Skulls answered with a two-yard run from Mike Jones. Down one, head coach Billy Back went for a two-point conversion run from Jones giving the Sugar Skulls the win. It ended Vegas' streak of seven-straight wins to start the season. The Sugar skulls have yet to win a game since. Veteran journeyman Vincent Espinoza brought them close last week, but fell short against the San Antonio Gunslingers. Espinoza could start, but Quincy Patterson could see some action as well. The Sugar Skulls score 36.0 points per game (16th) and allow 45.1 (eighth). Players to Watch: Jones (RB); Mike Carrigan (WR); Brian Smith (WR); Tyron Laughinghouse (WR); Brayden Utley (DL); Robert Sheffield (DB); JaQuez Jackson (LB).

BREAKDOWN
Vegas is one of three Western Conference teams who have clinched a playoff berth. However, the Knight Hawks do not contril their own seeding destiny. Should they win this game and the San Diego Strike Force lose at home to the Bay Area Panthers, then they will earn the second seed. If the Strike Force win, then Vegas will be relegated to the third or the fourth spot. It all depends on results from four different games this weekend. Suffice to say, the Knight Hawks will be looking at that second seed, though the Strike Force are at home to play the Panthers simultaneously to this game. That means they just have to win without watching the scoreboard. Ja'Rome Johnson is third in the league with 54 passing touchdowns and is first with 35 rushing scores. That shows his versatility in Vegas' dual-threat offense. CJ Windham is tied for sixth in the IFL with 15 receiving touchdowns. Bryce Hampton leads the league with eight interceptions after picking off one last week and Makel Calhoun is the second with seven sacks. The Knight Hawks score 52.1 points per game (third) and allow 45.1 (seventh). Players to Watch: Travon Van (RB); Quentin Randolph (WR); Gabriel McCoy (LB); James Ceasar (DB); Jericho Flowers (DB).
