Holding Steady: The reigning champion Defenders got their fourth win of the season, defeating the Birmingham Stallions, 45-28. Quarterback Jordan Ta'amu racked up 275 yards, four touchdowns and had no interceptions in the win. Last week, he had 204 yards through the air on 22-for-36 passing and two touchdowns. He complemented that with 61 rushing yards. Over the last two weeks, their odds to win it all have shortened from +185.

Sliding Stallions: The Birmingham Stallions were once the team to beat, three-peating in 2022, 2023 and 2024 for the spring football title. But the tide has turned, and now they're fifth on the championship oddsboard, after moving to +1800 from +1400 over the last week. And speaking of the tide, former Alabama QB AJ McCarron is in his first year leading Birmingham as its head coach. Under his watch, the Stallions sit at 1-4 and are currently at the bottom of the UFL standings. Their lone win was a 15-13 victory over the Kings in Week 1.
