2023 USFL Betting Online
The USFL playoffs are almost approaching. Even so, all eight clubs are still in the running for a postseason spot with only two weeks left in the regular season. With a 13-3 record in head-to-head games, including 4-0 last week, the South Division appears to have a distinct competitive advantage over their North Division rivals as the season has progressed. Let’s look at all eight teams heading into Week 9.
Birmingham Stallions (6-2, 2-2 in South)
In the Stallions' victory over Philadelphia on Saturday, Alex McGough put up an MVP-caliber effort. Against the North Division's top-ranked club, he completed 24 of 35 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns. With 20 total touchdowns this year, McGough leads the league, scoring 80% of the Stallions' offensive touchdowns. The Stallions have won three straight games and are starting to appear to be a squad that is prepared to surge into the playoffs.
Memphis Showboats (5-3, 2-2 in South)
The Showboats' winning streak of five games straight is the longest in the league this year. Their defense, has 11 interceptions, which is three more than the next-best club in the league. They also have the highest turnover margin in the league at (+5).
Houston Gamblers (5-3, 2-2 in South)
Last week the Gamblers pulled out a 20-19 victory over Pittsburgh. The Gamblers won the game thanks to the heroics of their ace tailback Mark Thompson, who increased his USFL season record for touchdowns scored to 13. In the close victory for the Gamblers, he carried the ball 14 times for 98 yards.
New Orleans Breakers (5-3, 2-2 in South)
With a victory over the second-best club in the North Division and a standout effort by former Ohio State wideout Johnnie Dixon, the Breakers snapped a three-game losing streak last week. Since his comeback from a quad injury three weeks ago, Dixon has led the league in catches and receiving yards with nine receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
Philadelphia Stars (4-4, 2-2 in North)
With 3:05 remaining, the Stars led the defending USFL champs by four points before letting it slip away. The Stars, meanwhile, appear to be the best team in the North Division. For the second consecutive year, Philadelphia and the Stallions may face off in the USFL championship game.
Michigan Panthers (3-5, 2-2 in North)
The Panthers lost their final cross-division game of the season to the Breakers despite a stellar second-half defensive effort. The Panthers battled back to within a touchdown in the second half after falling behind 21-0 in the first. Josh Love, the quarterback for the Panthers, completed 22 of his 32 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Frank Ginda, a linebacker, led Michigan in tackles with 11.
Pittsburgh Maulers (2-6, 2-2 in North)
After hitting field goals of 53 and 54 yards earlier in the game, kicker Chris Blewitt just missed one from 41 yards out that would have given the Maulers the win. If the Maulers' attack had found the end zone, a 13-0 lead could have become a 21-0 lead. Troy Williams' 20 of 26 passing attempts for 214 yards seemed ineffective. Pittsburgh has been restricted to one or fewer offensive touchdowns six times this season. With 16.5 points per game, the Maulers rank worst in the league in scoring.
New Jersey Generals (2-6, 2-2 in North)
The Generals have had a victory since April, and throughout the entire season, they have not had a single 200-yard passing game. Additionally, they rank bottom in turnover margin with a -8. New Jersey dominated the league in first-quarter scoring last year, but things have changed significantly this year. During their current five-game losing run, the offense has totaled six points in the first quarter.
