When Maryland joined the IFL, they had a pretty good win streak and then they kind of imploded last year and then there was Richmond last year. I was just wondering what everyone thinks about how the expansion teams will do this year.

Nebraska got over the first hurdle and found a great indoor QB with tons of experience.

There are four "true" expansion teams and they are the Arizona Adrenaline, Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, Nebraska Danger, and Bricktown Brawlers. I think Arizona will get beat down. I think Lehigh Valley will have Richmond to beat up on and could reach .500 at best. Nebraska is in the toughest division and I see them finishing with 3-4 wins. Bricktown has the best chance of these four teams to be successful IMHO and could even compete for the Lonestar Division Title.
There are three "IFL expansion" teams that came over from other leagues and they are the Reading Express, Wenatchee Valley Venom, and Wyoming Cavalry. I see Reading winning their division, I see Wenatchee below .500, and I see Wyoming competing for their division, but ultimately losing out to Colorado.

I agree BC. The Danger has put together a few players and should find some success, but first year growing pains are ineviteable.

I expect Richmond to be this year's Maryland but I'm getting on board anyway. Lehigh will surely benefit.

I see Nebraska Danger being most successful. A good quarterback and GM Mike McCoy knows what he is doing. He has done it 3 times over past 10+ years.

Nebraska should be fine, even with them being in the toughest division. I also believe that Bricktown and Lehigh Valley should be competitive as well. Arizona I can't see doing that well and not returning back for the 2012 season.
