2023 USFL odds: Title lines for every team; Birmingham opens as co-favorite

The Birmingham Stallions were the best team in the USFL‘s inaugural season, claiming the USFL Championship in July.

Will quarterback J’Mar Smith and Birmingham run the table again? Or will one of the seven other teams take the throne from the Stallions?

We’ll soon see Year 2 of the USFL unfold as the regular season begins April 15. One of the marquee games of Week 1 will be the Stallions playing host to the New Jersey Generals in a showdown of teams that won division titles last year.

Now that the College Draft is complete, let’s take a look at every team’s title odds (via FOX Bet).

Birmingham Stallions: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)
New Jersey Generals: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)
New Orleans Breakers: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Philadelphia Stars: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Memphis Showboats: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Houston Gamblers: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
Michigan Panthers: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Pittsburgh Maulers: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)

FOX Bet senior trading operations manager Dylan Brossman said the Stallions and Generals posting the best regular-season records wasn’t a fluke. Both teams are heavy favorites to reach the title game after each squad fortified their rosters in Tuesday’s USFL College Draft.

“The Stallions and Generals remain co-favorites,” Brossman said. “The Generals added the dynamic QB Adrian Martinez from Kansas State with their first pick; the Stallions got their guy Malik Cunningham from Louisville in the third round after solidifying their O-line with two tackles with their first two picks (UAB‘s Kadeem Telfort and Grand Valley State‘s Quinton Barrow).

“Both teams will put up lots of points this season and deserve to remain preseason favorites.”
