Stallions vs Brahmas Picks and Prediction – 6/16/2024
The UFL Championship has finally arrived. The USFL's best, the Birmingham Stallions, will take on the top XFL team, the San Antonio Brahmas. The entire season has culminated in one final game, where the Stallions will take on the only team that has beaten them. Check out all of our free UFL picks.
The Birmingham Stallions (9-1) are becoming a spring football dynasty. Birmingham won consecutive USFL titles, and nearly went undefeated on their way to the UFL championship. Birmingham is a powerhouse, and leads the league in nearly every offensive category. MVP quarterback Adrian Martinez (1,749 passing yards) is actually the top rusher in the league, while also tossing 15 passing TD's vs. only 3 interceptions. The Stallions have a squad of talented receivers, the top option being their tight end and former Packer, Jace Sternberger (4 TD's). On the ground, Birmingham has two fantastic runningbacks, Ricky Person Jr. (6 TD's) and C.J. Marable (4 TD's). Even on the defensive end, Birmingham allows the second-fewest points per game (18 PPG) and are led by former 49er's linebacker, Kyahva Tezino (70 tackles). Birmingham is an easy team to break down statistically, because they are simply the best in the league on paper.
Fortunately, the games are not played on paper, and the San Antonio Brahmas (7-3) showed us in Week 9 that stats do not always matter. In that game, the San Antonio imposed their league-leading defense on Birmingham to hold the Stallions to just 9 points in a win for the Brahmas. The Brahmas have good talent at receiver, with Jontre Kirklin (614 yards) the top option. At QB, Chase Garbers (6 TD's) started the year in great form before missing time with injury. Garbers returned in the back end of the season and has been just what this team needs. Garbers has a knack for making things happen out of nothing, and running coach Wade Phillips' offense in a seamless way. Garbers gives San Antonio the flare they need to potentially pull off the upset. The best part of the Brahmas' game, however, is their defense. This is the best all-around defensive unit in the UFL, and San Antonio's defense will carry a heavy burden of trying to keep them in this game. There are so many stars at every level of this defense, it will take some creative play calling from Birmingham to crack them.

Birmingham Stallions
Get expert picks from the hottest cappersThis is sure to be a fantastic championship between the Brahmas and Stallions. Both teams are great at their home field, but this will be played on a neutral site in St. Louis. The Stallions' electric offense will be lined up against San Antonio's impenetrable defense. This is what football is all about, and no matter the outcome, this will be great for the game. However, we are looking to make money, and the Stallions have been the destroyers of the USFL/UFL for three years. Birmingham has overcome some adversity in these playoffs, and shown that they excel at every aspect of the game. We do not think San Antonio can hold down the Stallions like they did in their last matchup, the MVP will lead Birmingham to one more win, and their third straight title. Prediction: Stallions win 28-18.
