Weird week of AFL football. The road team won seven of nine games. The last winless team beat a previously unbeaten. Chicago, Orlando and San Jose all overcame 14-0 deficits against former af2 teams to win. Four winners failed to reach 50 points. The last two ArenaBowl champs are both 1-4. And Rod Windsor's back!

The last AFL regular season game of the year could easily be a preview of ArenaBowl XXV when the Philadelphia Soul hosts the Utah Blaze this Sunday evening.

Any football team worth its salt is constantly reaching for the next level. The question for the expansion Portland Thunder is exactly what, or who is the next hurdle to climb? The answer here is, at least for the foreseeable future, actually pretty clear, and just up the road.
The Utah Blaze have, historically speaking, always been mediocre. Their best winning percentage has been 0.500, which they've achieved twice. Last year, they won the most victories in a season (9) but that could be attributed to the fact that they played more games then they have other seasons (18).
