The USFL had a solid Week 1 and had improved ratings compared to last season. One issue is though that some teams are playing in alternate locations to where both teams claim place. If they are able to solve this issue, their fan attendance can grow quite well. However, if they don’t they are essentially losing money as games go on. All in all, an increase in viewing is the most important takeaway from this first week, as with more revenue coming in, the costs can fix themselves. Hopefully, Week 2 trends even higher.

(14:30) Week 1 Gameplay Takeaways

The offenses in the USFL were really clean as there was only 4 interceptions in week 1 compared to 12 in the first week of the XFL and the AAF. The games resulted pretty much how they were expected with all the favorites winning aside for the Houston Gamblers who lost to the Michigan Panthers. This is likely a product of Houston just not being that good.

New Orleans, Houston, and Pittsburgh power be the worst three teams in the league even with New Orleans winning this week.

(24:15) New Orleans Breakers (-5.5) vs Houston Gamblers

This game is in Birmingham so it will essentially be a place game for the Breakers. Despite a poor offensive line last week, New Orleans showed some grit to get a win. Houston looks awful and is hard to give them any hope despite it being only one week. There is a really good chance for some heavy precipitation in this game.
