Read below for my thoughts on UFL Week 4 on FOX and the FOX Sports app.
Let's dive into the questions and my predictions below.
1. Which quarterback will throw for the most passing yards?
Luis Perez, Jordan Ta’amu, E.J. Perry, Case Cookus
I certainly wouldn’t go with Cookus after the beating he took last week. You could make a good case for any of the other three, however. Perez leads the league in passing, Ta’amu is going to have to try and match Birmingham’s offense, and Perry has played well and has a good matchup with San Antonio. I’ll go with Perry here in a bit of a surprise — although I wouldn’t argue with anyone choosing Perez.
Prediction: E.J. Perry
2. Will the total score of the Michigan @ San Antonio game be over or under 40.5 points?
San Antonio has had a habit of falling behind, and now the Brahmas will have a new QB with starter Chase Garbers out. That makes me think the game plan will be a tad more cautious, both offensively and defensively.
Prediction: Under 40.5 points
3) Order the teams by who will score the most points from highest to lowest:
DC Defenders, Birmingham Stallions, Arlington Renegades, Houston Roughnecks
There isn’t a reason to pick anyone other than Birmingham. The Stallions have scored more points than anyone in the league and are a threat to run the table. Arlington hasn’t had any issues moving the ball; it's been the other side of the ball which has given Bob Stoops' team trouble. But this week the opponent is the worst team in the league and the Renegades should fix things on that side of the ball.
Prediction: Birmingham, Arlington, DC, Houston
4) Will there be more converted or failed 2-point conversions in Week 4?
In the year of points thus far, I’ll go with more converted ones. Teams practice these plays and situations regularly, so expect them to be successful.
Prediction: More converted 2-point conversions in Week 4
5) Order the following players by who will have the most receptions in Week 4:
Jontre Kirklin, Tyler Vaughns, Darrius Shepherd, Justin Hall
Tyler Vaughns has built quite the relationship with QB Luis Perez, and the Renegades offense is likely to put up season-highs this week against Houston. Shepherd is someone I really like, and if we were talking all-purpose yards, it would be a no-brainer.
Prediction: Vaughns, Kirklin, Shepherd, Hall
6) What will be the outcome of this game?
DC Defenders Win, or Lose by 8 points or fewer OR Birmingham Stallions Win by 9 points or more
It’s hard to lay north of a touchdown. I’m curious if maybe we’ve reached a point where Birmingham is a little overvalued from one week to the next. Not that I think DC will win the game, but taking eight with a potential back-door cover feels like a good possibility.
Prediction: DC Defenders Win, or Lose by 8 points or fewer
Tiebreaker: What will be the final score?
Prediction: Birmingham 31, DC 24
