PHOENIX - The Arizona Rattlers hold the best record in the AFL and now have the honor of hosting Arena Bowl XXIV.
He's not Joe Namath, but Rattlers' Nick Davilla did his best impression of the former Jets quarterback by saying, "We're going to come up with the W."
The Rattlers have good reason to be confident; they're a league best 18 and 2 heading into Arena Bowl XXIV.
Davilla threw 7 touchdowns in their win over the Chicago Rush in the conference championship game.
The defense also played a huge role in Saturday night's win by forcing 5 turnovers and holding the Rush to 48 points.
Because the Rattlers hold the best record in the AFL, they now have the honor of hosting the Arena Bowl.
The game is Friday with a 5:30 p.m. kickoff at the U.S. Airways Center.
They will play the winner of Monday's other conference championship game between the Georgia Force and Jacksonville Sharks.
