Back with my game preview for Friday's AFL playoff tilt between Spokane and Arizona. Checked in with Rob Keefe, who said he's going to wait as long as possible to determine his 21-player roster. Many of those decisions will depend on the health of DB Alex Teems (pictured above), who suffered a hip pointer last Friday at Jacksonville.

Here's my preview and here's a preview from the Arizona Republic.
