The SaberCats went 11-5 during the regular season, earning the American Conference’s second-seed, and have the AFL’s second highest scoring offense in the league.
San Jose, however, only managed to go 2-4 this season against the National Conference.
The Soul are 1-2 all-time against the SaberCats, the win coming Week 7 this season at San Jose, 58-57. The SaberCats jumped on the Soul early, holding a 33-7 lead late in the first half. The Soul outscored San Jose 44-24 in the second-half, scoring the go-ahead points with just 10 seconds left.
