Only 1 game means anything this weekend: TB Bandits vs NOLA Breakers...

g if you play. I have found the league incredibly boring with poor performances and execution. NFL Europe back in the day was much better and seemed to have a higher level of talent

usfl is entertaining. i like that there is football on, while the nfl is out. good luck tanko

 

[BobbyFK]

I like TB a bit but no strong opinion either way

 

[Tanko]

First pass on taking a side in the TB Bandits vs New Orleans Breaker..... SUNDAY 4:00 ET

TB hasn't played any of the top 4 teams within 6-7 points all year.
Lost by 7 to the NJ Generals
Lost by 7 to the Philly Stars
Lost by 6 to the Birm Stallions
Lost by 31 to the New Orleans Breakers in week 2


Meanwhile the Breakers, when playing the top tier teams they've lost to the best of the best (Stallions & Generals) but have beaten the teams similar in strength to the Bandits.:
Lost by 1 to the Stallions
Lost by 10 the Generals
Lost by 9 to the Stallions
Beat the Bandits by 31
Beat the Stars by 6


I think the Breakers will cover the -3.5.
I have a feeling this line may creep up before Sunday's kickoff.

Good luck

As far as the Total for the Breakers/Bandits game....
I'm leaning under 43.5.

Against the better teams, the Bandits have only gone over this total 1 out of 4 games.
Against the better teams, the Breakers have only gone over this total 1 out of 5 games. The one game was over the 43.5 by 0.5 points.

Breaker average total for games is 39 points
Bandits average total for games is 37 points

I think we'll see Under 43.5 for this game.

Good luck.

 

[Tanko]

The other game are too questionable to make a play on since they aren't playing for anything.

I have a feeling we may see some teams test some new players or try different offenses just to get dat for next season. That makes it highly questionable on any plays on those games.

If someone see an edge though, I'd love to hear it.

 

[Tanko]

Anyone have leans on Saturday's matchups.

I'm not seeing anything that worth the value/risk.

I'll be taking a look soon Tanko

 

[Over Under]

Lean over to Birmingham/Houston over

 

[Tanko]

Like I said the games that are not playing for anything are hard to call this week.

Panthers beating the Generals 20-19 after 3Q.
Panthers were 7.5 pt dogs.

 

[Tanko]

Minor line moves on the totals. Each dropping 0.5 point.

Sunday Updated lines:
TB Bandits +3.5 vs New Orleans Breakers -3.5 Total 43 4:00 ET
Philly Start -8.5 vs Pitt Maulers +8.5 Total 47.5 7:30 ET

 

[Tanko]

My stance has not changed. Breakers -3.5 and Under 43.5

 

[Tanko]

Big fumble by the Bandits as they were driving to the goal line. Lost the ball on the 9 yardline.

Breakers vs Bandits 0-0 start of 2nd.
Under looking pretty good.

 

[Tanko]

The bad new is Breakers are changing QB. Sloter made too many mistakes (INT, Fumble).

Smith is in.
No idea how good/bad he is.

 

[Tanko]

TD Breakers. Missed the x-tra point.

 

[Tanko]

Bandits fumble it again. Breakers have it on Bandits 25

 

[Tanko]

Breakers have an 6 pick easy..... But wait. No.....

The Breakers defensive back was caught by the Bandits QB and tackled at the 5 yard line.
Embarrassing.

 

[Tanko]

17-0 Breakers.

Worried about the over 43 with Breakers scoring so damn fast.

 

[Tanko]

Hit the Breakers cover and the under.

Next week's games won't be worth a crap to bet since they are meaningless.
