USFL - Third time's a charm? After two other false starts in recent years, we finally have a championship game from a major spring league for the first time since the original XFL in 2001. The Birmingham Stallions will attempt to go wire-to-wire as the best team in the USFL, with only the explosive offense of the Philadelphia Stars between them and championship glory. The two sides meet this Sunday in Canton, Ohio, for the inaugural USFL Championship.
The Stallions being here is a surprise. They were, by a wide margin, the longest shot in the preseason betting odds at +750.
