This Week's UFL Schedule
Orlando Storm at DC Defenders
When | Sunday, May 31 at 4:00 PM ET |
Where | Audi Field, Washington, D.C. |
TV | ABC |
Line | Orlando Storm -2 | O/U 48 |
The Storm is already a lock for the No. 1 seed. DC already clinched a playoff spot but wants revenge after getting picked apart by Jack Plummer last week. This is a massive measuring stick game for both squads heading into the postseason.
Players to Watch:
Jack Plummer (Storm, QB) — MVP frontrunner has a ridiculous 15-1 TD/INT ratio and torched DC for 275 yards last week
Jordan Ta'amu (Defenders, QB) — Out for the season, not sure who will start for DC.
Deon Jackson (Defenders, RB) — Leads the team with 411 rushing yards and 7 TDs, key to controlling the clock
Pick: Orlando Storm 31-24. Plummer's hot streak continues and the Storm's explosive passing attack proves too much for DC's secondary.
Louisville Kings at Columbus Aviators
When | Sunday, May 31 at 10:00 PM ET |
Where | Historic Crew Stadium, Columbus, Ohio |
TV | FOX |
Line | Louisville Kings -2 | O/U 46 |
Louisville will be watching the DC game. The Kings had a remarkable turnaround from 0-3 to 5-4. Columbus is playing spoiler after stunning Birmingham last week with Jalen Morton making his first career start. This expansion team clash could have playoff seeding implications.
Players to Watch:
James Robinson (Kings, RB) — Veteran back has 300 rushing yards and provides stability in the ground game
Jalen Morton (Aviators, QB) — Made his first career start last week and delivered a gutsy performance to beat Birmingham
Cam Gill (Kings, DE) — Pass rush leader needs to pressure Morton and force mistakes
Pick: Louisville Kings 28-21. The Kings' playoff hunger and veteran leadership gets them over the finish line in a tight road win.
