As we look forward to the final weekend of the USFL regular season, it's important first to check the current playoff situation.
The Stallions (7-2) are in the playoffs. The New Orleans Breakers (6-3) sit a game back and split their two games with Birmingham during the regular season, so they still have an outside shot at the top seed. The other two South teams -- the Houston Gamblers (5-4) and Memphis Showboats (5-4) -- need a win in Week 10 combined with a Breakers loss to get the No. 2 seed.
Now, let’s take a look at the Week 10 Best Bets!
The South teams play each other in Week 10 -- Stallions vs. Showboats on Saturday and Breakers vs. Gamblers on Sunday.
There's a strong argument to be made that the USFL's four best teams reside in the South Division, and its four worst in the North. Take the Pittsburgh Maulers, for example -- a team that was 2-6 last week yet still controls its playoff destiny.
The Week 10 games in the North Division pit the Maulers vs. the Generals and the Stars vs. the Panthers. If the Stars win, they'll be the No. 1 seed, with the Maulers-Generals winner the No. 2 seed. A Stars loss makes things very interesting: The Stars, Panthers, and Maulers-Generals winner would finish in a three-way tie for first at 4-6, meaning tiebreakers would decide the top two seeds and who's out of the playoffs.
