Everyone has been keeping an eye on undefeated Birmingham, but FOX Bet associate trader Steven Hemke is betting on the motivated Breakers to avenge their 22-13 to Birmingham in Week 3. New Orleans led 13-10 heading into the fourth quarter.
“Coach Larry Fedora’s New Orleans Breakers can clinch a playoff berth with a win and some help. The Stallions have already clinched a playoff berth and the division title,” Hemke said. “You get the Breakers in a revenge spot playing for an opportunity to qualify for the playoffs against a team they have confidence they can play with.”
