Gamblers vs. Breakers picks and predictions
Prediction
Breakers 30, Gamblers 24
Money line
PASS. The Breakers struggled to move the ball against Birmingham, but have been good offensively with QB Kyle Sloter leading the way. Sloter leads the league in passing yards, the only player averaging more than 200 passing yards per game (219.0).
The Gamblers have actually scored 1 more point than the Breakers this season, but allowed 33 and 27 points in the last two weeks. New Orleans will be able to move the ball against them.
The price to bet the Breakers is just too high to be worth it, though. PASS.
Against the spread
The Breakers’ 2 wins have been by at least 6 points while the Gamblers’ 2 losses have been by a combined 6 points.
The question will be whether the Gamblers can keep up with the Breakers’ offense.
Even in the game the Gamblers won and only allowed 12 points, they gave up 2 long drives in the first quarter that had possessions end in the red zone.
Take the BREAKERS -4.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The projected total is low, but only 1 of the Breakers’ games has gone over that total.
The Gamblers also have only 1 game to go over Sunday’s projected total.
These are the 2 teams averaging the most points in the league entering Week 4 and I anticipate some points in this game.
Take OVER 38 (-107).
