2022 USFL Week 8 Betting Odds, Analysis, and Picks
The South Division is still appearing to be the stronger of the two USFL divisions, but with 3rd-place Tampa Bay (3-4) still two games behind 2nd-place New Orleans (5-2), even a Bandits win and a Breakers loss in Week 8 might not change a looming Playoff reality.카지노사이트
The top two teams in the North Division and the South Division will play each other in the 2022 USFL Divisional title games on Saturday, June 25., with the winners of those Semifinals advancing on to the 2022 USFL Championship Game on Sunday, July 3.
USFL Week 8 Games Insignificant for All but Two Teams
The 2022 USFL Regular Season will end on June 19 with Week 10’s four games. The 2022 USFL Postseason is scheduled to be played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium (Turf Nation) in Canton, Ohio, the historic site of the NFL’s Hall of Fame,
Heading into Week 8 of the 10-week 2022 USFL Regular Season, it looks like an important week only for Tampa Bay (125 PF-154), who need a win desperately to get to 4-4 on the season and have a chance of catching New Orleans in the South Division standings.
The good news for the Rashard Davis and the Bandits is that they face the Gamblers (1-6) on Sunday in a game the online oddsmakers have TB as solid 5-point favorites at open (TB -22 Moneyline). When the Bandits and Gamblers met in Week 2, TB eked out a 27-26 win.
So that means the New Orleans-Birmingham collision on Saturday could leave the Breakers at 5-3 should the Stallions win and stay unbeaten, and just a potential 1 game difference in the standings with 2 weeks to go and TB still able to overtake New Orleans.
But everything would have to go right for the Bandits. Looking at the schedules for the two teams for Week 9 and 10, the Bandits (12/1 to win the 2022 USFL Championship, MyBookie) will play the Breakers and Stallions, so the Week 9 game will decide all.
That means a likely Birmingham-New Orleans championship game in the South Division and a New Jersey-Philadelphia showdown in the North Division and possibly the unbeaten Stallions at 11-0 facing the Generals at 10-1 for all of the marbles in Canton.
Trends that have evolved in the USFL so far have been betting Philadelphia Stars games to go Over (40, 53, 40, 51, 47, 63, 59; 7-0), backing the best team in the league so far at the team with the Homefield Advantage every game, the Stallions who won by 10 last week.
After three straight Unders (29, 16, 24), the last four Panthers games have gone Over the Total (51, 47, 50, 58 points) and even though oddsmakers have adjusted the Totals upward, we still saw 192 points put up for a robust average of 48.0 ppg.

Friday – Pittsburgh Maulers vs. New Jersey Generals -8½
The highest Point Spread of the week and there are many reasons why laying the lumber here with the favorite Generals against the Maulers just makes more sense in this North Division game that will kick off USFL Week 8 on Friday night in Dixieland.
RB Darius Victor (6 rushing TDs) and the Generals rolled to a 20-13 win over the slumping Bandits in Week 7, but Pittsburgh (92 PF-164 PA) is a step down and it’s easy to see New Jersey getting out to an early 10-0 or 14-0 lead and never looking back in this game.
The league’s best WR, Kevontae Turpin (361 Receiving yards) should have a field day against the Maulers and looking at backing the generals in the First Half market also seems like pretty sage betting advice in this scheduling spot (NJ -5, -110, MyBookie).
Saturday – Birmingham Stallions -3 vs. New Orleans Breakers
The lone game on Saturday will see the undefeated Stallions (+175 to win the 2022 USFL Championship) playing the Breakers (+250) in a game that looks to be a preview of the South Division Championship Game we may see later this month in Birmingham.
Backing the best team in the revamped USFL at the top sports betting websites along with the Over has been profitable so far, but this is a huge South Division game for the Breakers both mentally and in the standings as they know they’ll face Birmingham in the Playoffs.
When these two collided in Week 2 QB Kyle Slater (1,499 passing yards) and the Breakers lost 22-13, but New Orleans has W2 straight and may be the second best team in the league and the only ones who may be able to beat the beast that is Birmingham.
Brandon Aubrey (60 points) and the Stallions have been hard to catch once ahead this season and with that unblemished mark, Birmingham will continue its quest for USFL perfection by winning out. Expect more points in this one compared to the first time then two teams met (35) when the Weather was colder and the Regular Season was a week old.
Sunday – Michigan Panthers vs. Philadelphia Stars -5½
Michigan (100/1) has easily been the biggest disappointment in the USFL so far, so fading RB Reggie Corbin (516 Rushing yards) and the Cats here seems logical with Philadelphia (6/1) at least a good team and still bound to be playing in the Playoffs in the East Division.
Last weekend in Week 7, the Panthers lost 31-27 to the Breakers, so this is a team capable of hanging with good teams but seemingly unable to win when all is said and done as the 1-6 record reveals. And here, Philadelphia (4-3) is actually playing for something tangible.
When these two teams met back on May 6, the Stars edged out a 27-26 win, so yet another example of Michigan being able to hang with, be in striking distance, but not be able to register a victory. And it’s already been “Wait until 2023” for them for a month.
Sunday – Houston Gamblers vs. Tampa Bay Bandits -5
Online oddsmakers have the Bandits as solid 5-point chalks in this betting spot because Houston (1-6) and the Gamblers have L6 straight, including a 35-24 setback to the Stars last weekend in Week 7 play in a game that went way Over the Total.
When these two teams met earlier, the Bandits escaped with a 27-26 win on April 20, so this last game of the weekend could be sloppy and the heat will be peaking that afternoon. The Over 44½ seems worth consideration with Clayton Thorson (10 Passing TDs) and Houston can score points but nobody in the USFL has allowed more so far than the gamblers (187 PA) so the Bandits should be able to score three TDs and a FG (or two) again here against one of the two worst teams in the league.
Where to Watch the USFL on TV and Streaming Services
The USFL’s TV partners are NBC, FOX, FS1, and the USA Network, along with the Peacock and fuboTV streaming services. All games will be played on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so this is a weekend league with all but one team east of the Mississippi River.온라인카지노
