The 2010 CIFL playoffs kickoff tonight in Cincinnati, Ohio as the Miami Valley Silverbacks battle the Cincinnati Commandos. Cincinnati won both meetings this season, with the most recent, a 58-50 win that saw the Silverbacks erase a 32-6 halftime deficit.

The FireHawks came up one yard short of defeating the Wolfpack on their home turf on May 1st. A goal line stop by Kurt Ware as time expired preserved the 33-32 victory over a FireHawks team that was shutout by Wisconsin 49-0 two weeks earlier. Game time is 8pm ET on Saturday night.

The winners of the games this weekend will play for the 5th CIFL Championship next weekend at the arena of the highest remaining seed at 8pm.

Both games will have live stats in the CIFL GameCenter along with live game audio on the CIFL Radio Network, also available in the GameCenter. The playoffs will be the debut of the new live stat application, a significant upgrade over the original output.
