Breakers vs. Gamblers picks and predictions
Prediction
Gamblers 21, Breakers 19
Money line
The Breakers will be without Sloter, their starting quarterback who led the league in passing for most of the season.
The Gamblers, after handing the Stallions their first loss of the season last week, have allowed a combined 28 points in their last 2 games.
The Breakers have only scored 23 combined points in the last 2 weeks.
Without Sloter and with a playoff game next week, expect many starters to come out at some point in the game.
I’m eyeing an upset. Take the GAMBLERS (+125).
Against the spread
While the Gamblers do have 7 losses, 3 have been by only 1 point.
The Breakers’ 6 wins were all by 4 points or more, but Sloter started every game for them until this week.
New Orleans is 6-3 ATS, matching their win-loss record, while the Gamblers are 4-5 ATS.
Expecting the upset, the money line is the better bet, but take the GAMBLERS +3 (-112).
Over/Under
The first game between the 2 teams finished with 39 points.
The Breakers had 6 games with totals of 40 or fewer points, including their last 2.
The Gamblers had 4 games with 40 or fewer points, including their last 2 games.
Take UNDER 40.5 (-105).
