Northern Arizona Wranglers vs Arizona Rattlers Picks

Normally, stout defense isn’t the first thought that comes to mind in the wild and wacky world of the Indoor Football League. However, that’s exactly what will be on display in the Western Conference final.

Arizona (30.2 points per game) and Northern Arizona (30.4 PPG) are 1-2 in the IFL in scoring defense. When it comes to total defense, they flip the script. The Wranglers (164.6 yards per game) are #1 in the league, followed by the Rattlers (175.0 YPG).

The difference between the two teams comes when they possess the ball. Arizona is the #1 scoring offense (52.9 PPG) and #2 in total offense (244.1 YPG). Northern Arizona is #7 in scoring offense (41.4 PPG) and #9 in total offense (204.5 YPG).

The Rattlers flexed their muscles on both sides of the line of scrimmage in the quarterfinals. Arizona whipped the Duke City Gladiators 53-14. Northern Arizona outscored the Tucson Sugar Skulls 49-30.

In the final week of regular-season play, Duke City beat Northern Arizona 39-32. Two weeks earlier, it was Arizona dropping the Wranglers 40-28. Northern Arizona won 37-34 at home over the Rattlers on June 11. That’s Arizona’s only loss over the past eight games.

Pick: Arizona Rattlers -6.5 (-110)
