Sliding Stallions: The Stallions have been the team to beat since 2022, winning the championship that season and then again in 2023 and 2024. But now their odds are sliding down the board, moving to +425 from +275 after losing to the Gamblers 22-20 in Week 2. In that game, Birmingham QB Stallions quarterback Matt Corral went 21-for-27 and put up 226 passing yards. However, his team still fell short and as a result, the Stallions’ odds to win the championship got longer.
