RJ YOUNG'S TAKE

After winning the USFL Championship last year, Skip Holtz's Stallions are a great pick to repeat in 2022. However, the Stallions were the only team to enjoy a true home-field advantage and their games were frequently the best-attended in the league. 

Their detractors would say that home-field and crowd advantage gave the Stallions an unfair one, and Stallions fans would tell you they needed to win two games in Canton, Ohio, to be crowned champions of the league. 

Either way, Holtz is bringing back more of the players who helped him win that title, including quarterback Smith, former Alabama running back Scarborough and former All-American Wright to help him defend their title. 

Perhaps the first time we'll get to see what the Stallions are like playing against a crowd that isn't cheering for them won't come until Week 4 when the Stallions travel to Canton, Ohio, to play the Pittsburgh Maulers.
