Grand Rapids Rampage +10 (versus San Jose)
1. San Jose played very flat in their opener against Chicago. The Sabercat defense allowed nearly 10.7 yards per pass attempt; if they don't improve this, they're going to get blown out.
2. San Jose has 8 players "out". In Arena, you have a 20-man roster and a 4-man practice squad. While none of the players are critical that are hurt, they lost a lot of depth. These depth players swap in and out for lineman or receivers/dbs as they get tired.
3. Grand Rapids was horrendous last year, and had a massive roster turnover. Expansion teams and teams with high turnover are usually very average, which is all they need to cover at +10, or win the game outright.
