USFL Week 3 Online Betting
Last week was another example of quality football and challenging pro football gambling. Week 3 of the USFL will begin with plenty of momentum based on a thrilling Week 2 action.
The New Jersey Generals and Birmingham Stallions tied for the best regular-season record a year ago at 9-1, and in USFL Week 2, they showed why they'd likely be among the best teams this season -- namely, stifling defense.
The Generals held the Pittsburgh Maulers to just 3 points on Sunday, but that wasn't the best effort of the week, as a day earlier, the Stallions held the Memphis Showboats to only 2.
In the Week 2 finale on Sunday night, the Michigan Panthers moved to 2-0 -- after finishing 2-8 last season -- with a win over the Philadelphia Stars.
The USFL's biggest offensive fireworks came Saturday between the New Orleans Breakers and Houston Gamblers, who combined for 69 points.
Panthers Upset Stars To Take North Division Lead
The Michigan Panthers managed just two wins all last season. Through two weeks, they've already equaled that win total.
Michigan running back Reggie Corbin was the star of the day, rushing for 131 yards and two TDs on 11 carries.
The Panthers also picked off Stars quarterback Case Cookus twice, holding him without a TD as he threw for 283 yards. Panthers quarterback Josh Love, coming off a monster Week 1, threw for 174 yards with a TD and 2 INTs of his own.
Generals Get Much-Needed Win over Maulers
The New Jersey Generals may have gone 9-1 last year, but they were looking for their first win since last year's regular-season finale after losing in the playoffs and dropping the 2023 opener to Birmingham.
New Jersey got the victory Sunday, and it did it with defense. As the rain poured down in Canton, the Generals recovered two fumbles and had an interception while recording five sacks and holding the Pittsburgh Maulers to just three points. The Generals held Pittsburgh to just 166 total yards.
Darius Victor, last season's USFL rushing leader, had 71 yards and a touchdown to spark the Generals' offense. Backup quarterback Dakota Prukop had the game's only passing touchdown.
The Birmingham Stallions are the defending USFL champions, and if there's any doubt about whether they'll be in the mix to repeat, they've won their first two games by a combined score of 69-12.
It was all Stallions on Saturday night against a Memphis Showboats squad that had looked competitive in Week 1, losing to a Philadelphia Stars team that reached last year's championship game by just four points.
Stallions quarterback Alex McGough went 21 of 28 for 301 yards and four touchdowns, including a 47-yard score to tight end Jace Sternberger.
Birmingham running back ZaQuandre White carried eight times for 72 yards and two touchdowns, including a 35-yard score.
The Showboats' only points came from a third-quarter safety.
Breakers Escape Shootout With Gamblers
The weekend got off to a hot start as the New Orleans Breakers and Houston Gamblers got into a back-and-forth battle, with New Orleans holding on for a 38-21 victory to go to 2-0 after making the playoffs last season.
The game's biggest star was New Orleans running back Wes Hills, who rushed for 110 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries.
Breakers quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw for 251 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Gamblers quarterback Benji Bahar threw three TDs in a 266-yard effort but also was picked off three times by the Breakers' defense. Bethel-Thompson did not throw a pick.
Stallions Flex Championship Pose Against Memphis
The Birmingham Stallions are the defending USFL champions, and if there's any doubt about whether they'll be in the mix to repeat, they've won their first two games by a combined score of 69-12.
It was all Stallions on Saturday night against a Memphis Showboats squad that had looked competitive in Week 1, losing to a Philadelphia Stars team that reached last year's championship game by just four points.
Stallions quarterback Alex McGough went 21 of 28 for 301 yards and four touchdowns, including a 47-yard score to tight end Jace Sternberger.
Birmingham running back ZaQuandre White carried eight times for 72 yards and two touchdowns, including a 35-yard score.
The Showboats' only points came from a third-quarter safety.
