Postseason USFL Picks
Sal Cannella Under 35.5 Receiving Yards
The Breakers passing game has been trending down since Week 4, which is why Cannella has only cleared this number twice in the past six games. Another reason his production has taken a hit is that backup tight end Justin Johnson has seen an increase in playing time over the past few games. I'm projecting him closer to 27.5 receiving yards.
Confidence Rating: 8 out of 10
Darius Victor Over 50.5 Rushing Yards
The Generals are a run-heavy team facing the league's worst run defense in the first round of the playoffs. I expect them to lean on their run game, specifically Victor, who has been their top running back all season. His usage was down the past few games, but I suspect they were trying to keep him fresh once they clinched a playoff berth. I'm projecting him closer to 60.5 rushing yards.
Confidence Rating: 8 out of 10
Bo Scarbrough Over 40.5 Rushing Yards
Like Darius Victor, I suspect the Stallions wanted to limit Scarbrough's workload once they clinched a playoff berth. I expect Scarbrough to see 11-13 rush attempts against the Breakers, which should be enough for him to clear this number. I'm projecting him closer to 50.5 rushing yards.
Confidence Rating: 7 out of 10
Jordan Suell Under 40.5 Receiving Yards
New Jersey should dominate time of possession as they will be able to run all over the Stars' weak run defense. It will limit the overall volume of the Stars offense that loves to spread the ball around in the passing game. I'm projecting Suell's receiving yards closer to 32.5.
