Philadelphia has won the first two meetings, but it’s hard to say they’re a better team than the Generals. New Jersey or Pittsburgh would pretty much be out of it if in the South. That’s good news for the North Division teams, who are all in the playoff hunt. The four teams with winning records all play in the South. The Stars are just 4-4 but lead the North Division. Three turnovers against Memphis last week didn’t help in the team’s 25-16 loss. But they’ve only been outscored by 11 points this season, so they’re not getting blown out. The Generals lost their fifth straight game last week. Just when you think it can’t get any worse for New Jersey, it does. The USFL Week 9 odds have Philadelphia (4-4) favored by 2 points over New Jersey (2-6) with a total of 44.
