Whether I'm right or wrong, one team will capture their first championship in the USFL while the other team will be disappointed, but still be in a great position to be here again after the 1993 season. I picked Denver simply because of the "resume" they've built to get here. Denver has a 3 game sweep of Seth's Portland Storm and they turned back Houston as the Gamblers were looking for title #5.

We have the top 2 offenses in the league going at it, which is why I picked such a high score. This could be anyone's game, as it will come down to the QB who makes the least mistakes. I'm looking forward to a great game and congratulations to both of you for your excellent seasons.
