The Rattlers handily defeated an injury-riddled Iowa Barnstormers (4-6) team in Week 10, 70-26. Rattlers QB Nick Davila passed for eight touchdowns in the contest. Arizona travels to Philadelphia for their second ArenaBowl XXV rematch of the year with the Soul (5-4). Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 1.

The San Jose SaberCats (7-2) outlasted the Utah Blaze (4-5), 35-34, in Week 10 to improve to 7-2 on the year. The squad is now 5-0 with quarterback Russ Michna under center. San Jose will be in the spotlight in Week 11 when the team travels to "Deaf Valley" for a matchup with the Spokane Shock (7-3) in "NET10 Wireless Arena Football Saturday" action on CBS Sports Network. The Shock stand pat at No. 3 in the vPower Rankings this week, following a 61-48 road victory over the San Antonio Talons (4-5). Shock quarterback Erik Meyer accounted for nine total touchdowns in the game. Kickoff for the "2 vs. 3" West Division matchup is set for Saturday, June 1 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
