- Analysis
- Good thing the noon game between Arlington and DC should be a good one, because the late game between San Antonio Brahmas and the Houston Roughnecks is going to be an abomination to the sport of football. San Antonio was able to gain some momentum with a shocking win over the DC Defenders last weekend, but I think it's going to fall short today.
The Roughnecks finally decided to bench the league’s worst quarterback in Anthony Brown, before last week’s game against the Birmingham Stallions, and it paid off in spades for their offense. Jalan McClendon racked up 236 yards through the air, 29 more than Brown had in three starts this season. Houston still fell short against a championship-contending Michigan Panthers team but I expect them to get over the hump with a 24+ point performance against a Brahmas defense that gives up more points than any other team in the league by far.
The Brahmas have given up at least 25 points in three of their four games this season, and they’ve only been held below 10 points in two of those games. I understand why they’re favorites entering this game, considering the Roughnecks QB predicament, but I think McClendon will actually be the difference in favor of Houston today.
