New Orleans Breakers Form

New Orleans go into their final game of the regular season with a 6-3 record, and know that a win will see them make the playoffs.

The Breakers were the USFL’s hottest team through the first four weeks of the season, stacking up wins.

They opened with a 22-15 win against Pittsburgh, and then downed Houston 38-31 before knocking off defending champions Birmingham, 45-31.

New Orleans’ streak hit four games as they then beat New Jersey 20-17, only for their form to nose-dive after that.

The Breakers’ perfect start was ended by a 17-10 defeat to Memphis, and they then lost 16-10 to Philadelphia and 24-20 to Birmingham.

They have turned it around over the past couple of weeks though, following up a 24-20 win against Michigan with a 31-3 blowout of Memphis.

Houston Gamblers Form

Houston have lost two of their last three games, leaving them 5-4 and on the brink of missing the playoffs.

The Gamblers started the season with a 29-13 loss to Michigan, and then suffered a 38-31 defeat at the hands of New Orleans.

They finally notched their first win in Week 3 as they downed Memphis 30-26, and that sparked a great run that propelled them into the playoff race.

Houston destroyed Philadelphia in a 41-16 victory, and then downed defending champions Birmingham, 27-20, before beating New Jersey 16-10.

The Gamblers’ streak was halted a by a surprise 23-20 defeat to Memphis, but they bounced back immediately with a 20-19 win against Pittsburgh.

However their playoff hopes took a huge hit with last weekend’s 38-15 defeat to Birmingham, and that means they must win this game.
