This matchup pits two brand-new franchises against each other in what could be a [defensive slugfest](https://uflnewshub.com/ufl/ufl-scores-today-birmingham-stallions-15-louisville-kings-13---stallions-edge-kings-in-defensive-slugfest). Both teams are looking to establish their identity in Year One, with the Storm getting a slight home-field advantage from the oddsmakers. The under 42 total suggests this could be a grinding, low-scoring affair as both squads work out early-season kinks.

Columbus brings veteran leadership under head coach Ted Ginn Jr., while Orlando counters with Anthony Becht's experience. The [Aviators](https://uflnewshub.com/ufl/2026-ufl-week-1-preview-columbus-aviators-orlando-storm) have the edge at quarterback with [Jalan McClendon](https://uflnewshub.com/player/jalan-mcclendon-28932), who threw for 1,464 yards last season with Houston and enters camp as the established starter.

**Players to Watch:**

- **Jalan McClendon** (Columbus, QB) — Veteran signal-caller who started more than half of last season for Houston and has proven himself since the 2020 XFL.
- **Ted Ginn Jr.** (Columbus, Head Coach) — Former NFL receiver making his head coaching debut with a franchise looking to establish its culture.
- **Anthony Becht** (Orlando, Head Coach) — Experienced coach tasked with building the Storm's foundation in their inaugural season.

**Pick:** Columbus 17-14. McClendon's experience gives the Aviators the edge in what should be a tight, defensive battle between two teams still finding their footing.
