Roughnecks vs. Brahmas Predictions
Are we finally starting to see the offenses get it together? It feels like that, especially with San Antonio breaking out for 30 points against Orlando. Jack Coan looked confident in Week 1 against St. Louis, and the Brahmas QB built upon that with an even better effort in Week 2.
Houston has been solid on defense across the first two weeks, but the pendulum will start to swing toward the offenses as units around the league become more comfortable with each other. That could impact the Roughnecks, who have banked on a strategy of great defense and good enough offense.
The Brahmas are live to win this game, especially after an infusion of confidence in last week’s victory. We’ll play it safe and take the points, but betting San Antonio on the moneyline isn’t a bad pick either. It really feels like there’s little separation between these sides, and we’ll gladly take more than a field goal with San Antonio.
