Tomorrow night the Cleveland Gladiators host the Philadelphia Soul at the Quicken Loans Arena in the first round of the Arena Football playoffs. The Soul are going into the game as an underdog, but don’t think that means they don’t have a chance. The game is actually going to be much closer than it shows on paper.
The Soul (9-9) go into the game with the second wildcard spot in the American Conference, while the Gladiators have the number one seed with the best record in Arena Football at 17-1.
Cleveland the Philly have gone to battle twice this year during the regular season, with Cleveland taking both games by only a total of 3 points. In week 11 Cleveland took the game by a score of 54-52. In week 15 the Soul lost 69-68. All indications point to this being an even match up with the Soul looking for revenge.
The Soul have made an impressive turn around this season in order to make the post season.
Quarterback Dan Raudabaugh finished the regular season with 4,328 yards and 85 touchdowns, while star wide receiver Anthony “Tiger” Jones has 33 td’s on 1,646 yards.
The Soul also have FB Derrick Ross at their disposial, who has 36 touchdowns this season. Not to mention a fierce defence led by Rayshawn Kizer, who leads the team in both tackles (101.5) and interceptions (9).
The game will take place on 7pm on the CBS SPORTS NETWORK.
