The Cleveland Gladiators are having a very tough season. It didn't get much easier for them after last night's loss in Philadelphia. The team started strong, but did not finish strong. They sit with one win on the season, and that win came against the still winless Tampa Bay Storm, who even had a chance to steal a win in Cleveland.

5. Jacksonville Sharks

The Sharks have been shaky all season long. One moment, they're committing multiple turnovers in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles KISS and the next moment they're knocking off the Philadelphia Soul on the road. The Sharks misfortune got to them again last night in an overtime loss to the Arizona Rattlers. They need to work on being consistent if they want to find themselves back on top of the American Conference.

4. Los Angeles KISS

The KISS have shown us once again that they can hang with the big boys when they took the Orlando Predators to the brink last night in a 43-40 loss. The KISS have shocked the AFL and their fans alike this season as they currently sit at a 2-2 record. No one expected them to be at ,500 at any point in the season after their first two seasons were seasons of mediocrity.

3. Philadelphia Soul

The Soul had one bad game against the Sharks. Other than that, they have continued to show why they have been the most successful sports franchise in Philadelphia since 2008. They have won two in a row and sit at a 3-1 record this season with a game against the KISS on the way. That game will be big for both teams to prove themselves a powerhouse in the AFL.

2. Orlando Predators

The Predators have been taken down to the wire the last two home games against the Portland Steel, who were off this week, and the Los Angeles KISS last night. Despite being pushed to the edge, the Predators have still found ways to win and that is why they are one of two undefeated teams in the AFL through the first four weeks.

1. Arizona Rattlers

The Rattlers stepped up big when they needed to in last night's win in Jacksonville. Other than that game, the Rattlers have dominated opponents this season, sitting at 4-0 on the season with the Steel coming to town. Record-wise, it looks as if the Rattlers will be well on their way to 5-0. If the Predators also find themselves at 5-0 come next week, we will have a battle of the undefeated in Orlando on May 7.
