Stallions vs Breakers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Protective Stadium at 8:00 PM ET on Saturday, April 30, 2022.
Why Bet The Stallions:
✅ The Breakers have looked very impressive early this season, beating the Stars and Bandits convincingly. But those teams have shown some serious flaws early in the season, with the Stars letting a bad Pittsburgh team hang around last week and the Bandits scoring just six points in their last six quarters of football. The Stallions are a much tougher test, and New Orleans will not look nearly as good in Week 3.
✅ Birmingham, meanwhile, has been a very good second half team this season. They came back from multiple deficits in the second half to beat the New Jersey Generals in Week 1, and outscored the Houston Gamblers by double digits in the second half in Week 2. Expect Birmingham to continue their success in the final 30 minutes of games here.

✅ While attendance has not been impressive at USFL games so far, Birmingham is the only team with home field advantage this season. They have at least had some fan turnout for their games, and should get a little bump from the crowd in a Saturday night game here. How much that helps remains to be seen, but the only home underdog in this league is worth taking.
Birmingham Stallions
The Birmingham Stallions won a high-scoring game again in Week 2, when they came back to beat the Houston Gamblers in the second half. That is the second straight week that the Stallions won a high-scoring game behind a second half comeback. This week, the Stallions will look for a more straightforward path to victory, which could be hard to come by against a New Orleans team that has looked great so far this season.
A huge key for Birmingham in this game will be keeping quarterback J’Mar Smith upright throughout this game. The Breakers have a player in Davin Bellamy who has racked up four sacks so far this season to lead the league through two weeks. If he ups that total against the Stallions, Birmingham could be in for their first loss of the season.
New Orleans Breakers
The New Orleans Breakers have had a great start to the USFL season, beating the Philadelphia Stars and Tampa Bay Bandits to kick off the year. They have had quality quarterback play early in the season, as Kyle Sloter has the second most passing yards in the league through two weeks. Against a Birmingham defense that has given up plenty of points so far this season, Sloter and the Breakers could have another big game on Saturday night.
The question for the Breakers coming into this game is whether their defense can hold up against a Stallions team that has lit up the scoreboard so far this season. Despite playing well against the Bandits in Week 2, the Breakers were in a competitive game with Philadelphia to start the year. This will be the best offense New Orleans has faced so far, and they will need to bring their best defensive performance of the season if they want to remain unbeaten.
