For Birmingham though, it all starts on defense as they are the second-ranked in the league in terms of points allowed (161). However, they are first in total yards allowed per game and sacks on the season. They have taken the term “defense wins games” and have literally run with it up to this point.
They have gone 7-3-1 against the spread as well leading up to the championship game and should not be counted out as the powerhouse they are.
Value In The Stars
While the Stallions have thriven off of their defense, the Stars are running with their offense. They have one of the best quarterbacks in Case Cookus who went for the fourth-most passing yards (1,334) and fourth-most passing touchdowns (12). They also have a top-tier running back in Matt Colburn who was sixth in the league in rushing yards (457) and second in rushing touchdowns (8).
As a whole, they are going into the game as the number one ranked offense in the league as well having gone for 262 total points. With all said and done, they are the hottest offensive team in the league and their odds certainly have value in them.
