Columbus Aviators at Birmingham Stallions Predictions & Picks

Birmingham are tipped to cover as they make it three wins in a row.

The Stallions have found some form over the past couple of weeks, tightening up on defense, while the Aviators have had their issues on the road this season.

  • Columbus Aviators are 0-4 on the road in the playoffs
  • All 4 of Columbus’ road defeats have been by at least 4 points
  • The Under has cashed in each of Birmingham’s last 2 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

Columbus Aviators Form

Columbus head back out on the road looking to issue an immediate response to their fifth defeat of the season, which has left them 2-5.

The Aviators entered the UFL in the offseason and made a rough start as they lost their first three games, opening with a 23-16 defeat at fellow newcomers Orlando.

They then lost 44-26 at home to defending champions DC, before heading to Dallas for a 28-23 loss to the Renegades.

Columbus finally got off the mark with a 28-14 win at home to Dallas, only to then suffer a 17-13 defeat when they visited Houston.

The Aviators responded with a 24-17 victory at home to the Gamblers a week later, but failed to make it back-to-back wins as they were beaten 31-20 at St Louis last time out.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham go into this matchup having breathed life into their season with back-to-back wins that have taken them to 3-4.

The Stallions opened the campaign with a 15-13 victory in Louisville, but went cold after that as they lost four straight.

That skid started with a 22-20 defeat in Houston, which was followed by a 34-30 loss when they paid a visit to St Louis.

Birmingham then dropped back-to-back home games to fall to 1-4, losing 16-0 to Orlando and 45-28 to DC.

The Stallions did finally snap their skid on the road though, avenging the previous loss to Orlando with a 20-17 victory on the road, and that was followed by a 21-17 overtime success at home to Dallas.

Verdict

Birmingham have built up some momentum over the past couple of weeks, and we are backing them to keep their run going here.

Columbus have lost every single one of their road games this season, and each defeat has been by at least four points.
