The Breakers beat the Bandits 34-3 in Week 2.
New Orleans can clinch a playoff spot with a victory Sunday. Tampa Bay will earn a playoff spot by beating the Breakers and topping Birmingham in the regular-season finale.
“The Breakers were one-point away from knocking off the undefeated Stallions last week, even after Kyle Sloter’s three interceptions and a missed PAT,” FOX Bet sports trader Dylan Brossman said. “I expect a hungry, bounce-back performance to avenge the close loss.
“The Breakers lead the league in passing yards per game and should be able to move the ball against a middle-of-the-pack Bandits defense. If the Breakers can avoid costly turnovers, I don’t see Tampa Bay to keeping pace with New Orleans.”
PICK: Breakers moneyline (-175 at FOX Bet, bet $10 to win $15.71 total) to beat Bandits outright
