The game of the week was the Stallions-Bandits showdown.
Birmingham (-3.5) and Tampa Bay faced a common opponent in the early going — the New Orleans Breakers.
New Orleans beat Tampa Bay 34-3 in Week 2, then lost to Birmingham 22-13 the following week in the USFL showdown between teams that were undefeated.
"It’s a very interesting game with the Stallions rightly favored after they dispatched a Breakers team that was the favorite to win the whole thing going into Week 3," said Jacob Blangsted-Barnor, FOX Bet commercial manager. "The Bandits have looked good apart from their big loss to the Breakers and in a league this new, common opponents become huge.
"You look at the Stallions vs. the Breakers then Bandits vs. the Breakers, and it shows you why the Stallions are favored.
"Give me Stallions on the moneyline."
