Billings, Mont. -- The Billings Outlaws-Sioux Falls Storm rivalry heats up once again tonight at 7 p.m. at Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark in a criticial interconference showdown for playoff seeding.
Both teams come into tonights game with identical 10-2 records and have already clinched their repesctive division championships, but will be looking to inch closer to securing home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win tonight.

"We will have much of the same game-plan we did when we went down there," said Outlaws head coach Heron O'Neal after Friday afternoons walk-through. "We had a good game plan but just didn't execute and that's what you have to do against those guys."In the first meeting of the season, Outlaws quarterback Chris Dixon was held to just over 90 yards passing while throwing three interceptions.
"It's tough to win on the road when you turn the ball over," added O'Neal. "But I am extremely confident he will have a big game (tonight)."
Kickoff is slated for 7:05 p.m. and fans can pick up their tickets at the Metra Park Box Office all day on Saturday.
