Maulers vs Generals Prediction & Pick

The loser of this game will be eliminated from playoff contention, so expect every player out on the field to be giving it their all. Pittsburgh and New Jersey last met back in Week 2, when the Generals came out on top by a score of 20-3. A trio of turnovers by the Maulers proved to be the difference there.

I'm going to back the Generals for a season sweep. New Jersey grabbed the momentum back with a win over Philadelphia and possesses the best rushing offense in the USFL (135.4 yards per game). It may only take a score or two to defeat a Pittsburgh team that logs a league-worst 241.0 yards per game.

Back the Generals to grab an early lead and lean on the ground game to secure a postseason spot.

Final Score Prediction: Maulers: 15 | Generals: 20

Maulers vs Generals Best Bet

Asking the Generals to cover a 3.5-point spread is a bit risky here, so I'm going to switch gears to the point total. A healthy rushing attack from New Jersey is going to keep the clock churning, as will each side's increased desire to go for it on fourth down with the season on the line. Fewer than 41 points have been scored in seven of Pittsburgh's nine games, so back that trend to continue on Saturday.

Bet: Under 40.5 Total Points (-110)
