The Breakers’ defense is led by linebacker Vontae Diggs, who has 75 tackles – seven for loss – and two sacks. New Orleans is allowing 16.4 points a game.

Jonathan Adams is the Breakers’ top receiver with 406 yards and three scores on 30 catches.

Jordan Ellis’ 596 yards and four TDs on 149 carries spearheads the Breakers’ rushing attack. He runs behind a line led by all-league center Jared Thomas.

Disruptive linebacker DeMarquis Gates is the player to watch on a Stallions’ defense yielding 16.9 points. He has 6.5 sacks, a USFL-best 11 tackles for loss and 62 total stops.

Stallions vs Breakers Prediction

At any level of football, it is difficult to beat a team three times in one year. The Stallions have gotten the better of the Breakers twice this season but look for Kyle Sloter, New Orleans’ veteran QB, to be the difference maker despite his interception problems.

Pick: Breakers +5 (-115)
