There are two undefeated teams in the Arena Football League in 2016, but come 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, there will only be one. The 5-0 Arizona Rattlers will visit the 5-0 Orlando Predators in the AFL's game of the year at the Amway Center at 7:30 p.m. ET.
This matchup features two of the leagues best at quarterback. The Rattlers are led by quarterback Nick Davila, who leads the league with a TD/INT ratio of 32-2 and a 72.8% passer rating, while Orlando is led by quarterback Randy Hippeard, who has thrown 28 touchdowns to just three interceptions this year. 
The two teams have also been carried by their defenses. Arizona has possessed a historic defense to start the 2016 season, holding teams to an average of 34.4 points in their first five games, while Orlando has held teams to just 45.2. However, Arizona has lost it’s most prolific defender for the season as Kerry Reed will be on the sidelines the rest of the year. 
The battle of the unbeatens will take place on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network.
