The divisional round was much better for the ArenaFan.com staff in choosing winners, especially for the Guru who was a perfect 4-0. Six went 3-1 and three were 2-2. One writer went winless and the mythical Magic 8-Ball was a pathetic 1-3, but still pretty good for a piece of plastic.

ORLANDO -- Give Rob Keefe this much. He wasn't going to let the Orlando Predators lose any momentum going into the playoffs. By definition, the Preds had nothing to play for on Saturday night aside from bragging rights on I-4.

In this ArenaFan.com exclusive, Tim Capper catches up with AFL Commissioner Lee Hutton III to find out what the league has been working on since our last interview.

The Soul bounced back very strongly after a disappointing loss to the Jacksonville Sharks last week, defeating the Portland Steel 70-32.

He is, without a doubt, the most famous and recognizable player ever to come out of the AFL. If the AF1 is smart, they will do whatever it takes to try and get Warner back into the fold in some capacity.

It isn't all that often that we see a head coach in any league get fired after just one game, but on Friday, it was announced by Pittsburgh's TribLIVE.com that the Pittsburgh Power have hired Ron James to be their third head coach in franchise history.

Two very familiar rivals meet Saturday in the desert in the first round of the Arena Football League playoffs. The Spokane Shock invade the Snake Pit to attempt to dethrone the three-time defending ArenaBowl champs, the Arizona Rattlers.

CLEVELAND - The Arizona Rattlers are once again champions. There was never a doubt that they were the superior team against the Cleveland Gladiators in the biggest romp in ArenaBowl history. However, the 72-32 victory proved that Nick Davila really is as special as it gets in this league. This one though, was perhaps a little more special for him.

It may not have looked pretty, but the Kansas City Command won their second game of the season against the Chicago Rush with a final score 58-51. The Command showed up, ready to play this game, and ready to put last week's loss behind them.

Thanks to a loss by Chicago last Sunday, the San Jose SaberCats clinched their first playoff berth since losing in ArenaBowl XXII in 2008 and this Saturday will conclude their regular season against Iowa. San Jose has a bye in Week 20 and gets a week off before the playoffs begin.
